Renewable Tuesday: Moar Tipping Points Moar [1]

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

Date: 2025-06-24

Jan Rosenow looks beyond mere events, even promising ones about energy, batteries, EVs, and so on. Every tipping point we reach cues up more of them in an accelerating, exponential cycle. Except for the cycles of denial, where each link broken sets up more progress. We have a lot of such links to break in people’s minds, but keep in mind that for that purpose we have the power of $$Real Money$$TM to call on.

x The energy transition is more disruptive—and could move much faster—than most people think. It’s not just about swapping old tech for new. Shift to clean energy is a complex web of feedback loops, tipping points & surprises. Read our report👇 www.scurveeconomics.org/publications...

200 mph, for only $2 million each. It couldn’t go any faster on street tires. They would have burst into flame. Now let’s imagine such a car re-engineered for Formula E tires.

The best EVs available in the US. Nothing from China this year, of course. See Denial & Obstruction below.

We all need to start getting used to petawatt-hours (PWh)/year.

x NLC India Renewables Limited (NIRL), a wholly owned subsidiary of NLC India Limited (NLCIL), has been awarded a 500 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project by Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Ltd (TNGECL). The development marks the first large-scale #energystorage initiative for NLCIL.

x Nepal has a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2045. But one key opportunity for decarbonisation in the country has thus far gone relatively unexplored: deploying solar thermal energy to generate electricity for industrial and domestic heating.

At the proverbial end of the day the FT’s news department is about $$Real Money$$TM, not ideology.

x Loved the FT piece today—so much untapped potential in home energy savings. Insulation, heat pumps, solar, and batteries work best together: insulation cuts costs and boosts comfort, heat pumps are super efficient, and solar plus batteries now pay for themselves. The future of home energy is bright!

Denial & Obstruction

Republicans cannot force Postal Service to scrap EVs

Senate Republicans cannot force the U.S. Postal Service to scrap thousands of electric vehicles and charging equipment in a massive tax and budget bill, the Senate parliamentarian said The U.S. Postal Service currently has 7,200 electric vehicles USPS warned on June 13 that scrapping the electric vehicles would cost it $1.5 billion

and "seriously cripple our ability to replace an aging and obsolete delivery fleet."

Schumer haz a word or 2 about Elizabeth MacDonough’s No Kings decision

Chuck Schumer on Sunday hailed the parliamentarian's assessment, saying Republicans had tried to "write Donald Trump’s contempt for the courts into law — gutting judicial enforcement, defying the Constitution, and bulldozing the very rule of law that forms our democracy."

The Trump administration's efforts to repeal the Biden-era electric-vehicle rules just ran into a wall in the Senate. The Senate Parliamentarian—which is the Senate's top rules expert—said on Friday that removing the emissions rules doesn't count as a tax or spending issue and hence they can't be included in the budget reconciliation bill. The news was first reported by the Detroit Free Press.

x 🇨🇦💨 Hundreds of thousands of abandoned wells dotting Western Canada and Ontario have yet to be plugged, leaking 230 kilotonnes of methane annually. Targeting high-emitting wells and repurposing wells for geothermal energy production could encourage monitoring and leak prevention, says researchers.
