Renewable Tuesday: Regular Feeds, with Pointing and Laughing [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-01-21

Wesmorgan1 has a solution to the broken feeds on Bluesky that don’t pick up tagged posts. He is writing a Howto about it that we will take up in my next Tuxville post here. We still have the problem of posts turning up in the wrong feeds. But even without fixing Jonathan’s feeds we have all the good Global Warming/Renewable Energy news we can handle.

It turns out that all of the denialism in the new administration’s Executive Orders is merely performance art, not actionable policy. There will be some harms to the public, but nowhere near as much as threatened, and the resistance is on it.

x It turns out it’s going to take a lot of doing for all this “Day One” stuff to happen, and this is all before we hear from red-state elected officials who probably aren’t eager to lose thousands of manufacturing jobs insideevs.com/news/747950/...

I will have an analysis of the flood of executive orders coming our way in my Thursday Good News Roundup. It turns out to be largely performance art, with quite limited practical effect. Yes, the new administration can repeal the supposed mandate for EVs, but it can’t repeal the lure of Real MoneyTM, including funds appropriated by Congress and fully committed by the Biden administration.

x "In 2021, Colorado passed a law requiring its DOT, along with regional planning organizations, to evaluate the individual impact of highway projects on emissions, a move that led to an expansion of I-25 through Denver being cancelled and funding instead being invested in transit instead."

You can click through to see the original. The new administration is tilting at windmills when they meant to go after wind turbines.

x Really excited for the legal argument that will be filed saying "this doesn't apply to us - we're building offshore wind turbines, not windmills". Thanks for the highlights Jillian!

x Was going to stay away but WTF does Trump have against wind? It's keeping our lights and heat on here in Texas and provided nearly 29% of our electricity generation in 2023, second only to natural gas. It's big business, providing jobs and $ to the state! comptroller.texas.gov/economy/econ....

x The 41% of union members who voted for Trump are getting what they asked for: thousands of manufacturing and construction-related workers just lost their upcoming projects because Trump has blocked wind energy permits indefinitely. Jobs will be lost, wages will go down, and this is just the start.

x He lied again. Most windmills are NOT made in China. The largest wind turbine manufacturers are based in Denmark, Germany, Spain, India, and USA.

Those, as noted above, are not windmills, but wind turbines. Mills are for milling grain.

x Oregon is waiting on finalization of $113 million in heat pump rebate from the IRA which is Trump is pretending that he can block unilaterally. www.energy.gov/scep/home-en...

#NoNewNukes, say I. They cost way too much, and can be built only with corrupt deals for massive subsidies.

x UK Nuclear Power Ambitions Hampered by Delays and Soaring Costs https://www.byteseu.com/671171/ As the U.K. government doubles down on plans to develop the country’s nuclear power industry following decades of neglect, severe delays and cost increases are hampering progress. Delays and rising …

x Pro-nuclear advocates are also clear about the extent to which governments — and thus taxpayers — will be on the hook when costs inevitably blow out. The grim truth about nuclear power: not merely is it expensive, but it will always get more expensive. And it’s taxpayers who will always pay.

x Negative 9 degrees right now and our ground source heat pump (geothermal) continues to get the job done, heating our house for the 15th straight winter with no combustion. The technology is totally up to the task, even on the coldest days in the Twin Cities. #heatpump #geothermal #energysky

x Yesterday wind power accounted for ~6% of New Zealand power generation (6.4GWh). Solar power was ~1% (0.7GWh). Hydro power was ~58% (62.5GWh). Geothermal power was ~23% (25.3GWh). Source: EM6. #NewZealand #windenergy #solarenergy #geothermalenergy #hydroenergy

Lots of craft recycling, hardly anything about the recycling industry.
