Ecological Transition? Energy Transition? A great piece to know what we are really talking about, by ecosocialist philosopher Jorge Riechmann https://www.15-15-15.org/webzine/2023/09/11/ecological-transitions-and-energy-transitions/

So, the #WorldBank has been happily supporting #fossilfuel business via trade financing even as it claims it is pushing for a #greentransition.
Somehow, the #energy firms keep getting their fingers into the pot of state (and global) economic support... its almost like they had good connections & were effective lobbyists.
Anyone who thinks shifting to alternate #energy sources will be easy might want to look back to #tobacco for the fossil fuel playbook!

On gas exports the report comments that local gas prices have been rising “in step with LNG netback prices”. Netback price is basically the international price with LNG production costs deducted.
It then discreetly notes that “this is a unique situation for a producer and exporter.”
👉 In other words, we are the only major LNG exporter that has not set up mechanisms to protect local gas consumers. 👈
The report also points out that #energy #poverty is becoming an issue in #Australia.

We do not have the luxury to exclude #nuclear energy. I call on the European Parliament: choose wisely and embrace innovation! https://t.co/fSq7Vb3XXu

Terrible. High percentages, even in affluent countries

Il nucleare si rivela sempre più una di quelle scelte di politica energetica che non vede più in là del proprio naso e fortemente intrisa di populismo.

Of course, I'm more concerned about environmental impacts. Can we make sure a realistic 'cleanup bond' is required before mining starts this time?

Researchers at MIT say they've figured out a way to create cement supercapacitators using affordable and readily available materials that could transform buildings, roads, and other infrastructure into energy storage systems that could make on-demand power from renewables affordable worldwide.
Good news if true – and scalable!

I've shared news before about solar panels being used in combination with growing plants. This article talks about the use of roof space for both gardens and solar panels as created by Vienna's University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences.

Mary Smail has installed 16 solar panels on her house despite it breaking planning laws. "If bad laws are not challenged then they never get changed and we can see that through things like the suffragettes and civil rights in America."

A Cornish Pasty factory has installed a 131.2kw solar system which will supply at least 20% of it's yearly power needs. More impressively, on one very sunny day, it met 98% of their power needs at that point!

3129 followers · 9970 posts · Server zirk.usWhile we (quite rightly) moan & get annoyed with our #energy suppliers, the system that enables their profiteering & the continued power of the #fossilfuel lobby to shape energy #politics, its worth pausing to recall that on the continent of #Africa around half the population (that 640mn people according to the African Development Bank) have no access to #power at all....
sometimes the old criticism of 'first world problems' is more than just a remark thrown into an argument to raise a smile!
