#DegradingCarbonSinks through #centralized #monopoliesandcartels by #apartheid #SouthAfrican #Corruption (reads like #MississippiGoddam): Corruption accounts for the channeling of #scarce #public funds to uneconomic and highly #capitalintensive projects, such as #pipelines and #refineries, #dams, and #powerplants, at the expense of more necessary #infrastructure projects, such as #water and electricity supply, hospitals, schools, and roads, in addition to treasury looting, #bribery, contract inflation, and brazen mismanagement.

Here's how #extremeheat can impact the grid and #renewables – and what's being done to protect them
#Heatwaves can also impair efficiency of power generation and transmission. Both renewable and conventional #powerplants may operate less efficiently under high temperatures. Likewise, #electricity #transmissionlines can lose efficiency due to higher resistive losses at elevated temperatures. Battery systems, particularly #lithiumion, can suffer in high temperatures as well

#US public wants #climatechange dealt with, but doesn’t like the options
People want both action and to keep using #fossilfuels.
Over 60% of people even supported requiring all #powerplants to have #zeroemissions by 2040, a key step toward President #Biden's #climate goals.
But 59% oppose doing away with #gasoline-powered vehicles as policy.

“#Income is not a good #proxy, alone, for #race,” said Polonik.
Additionally, researchers found that #pollution from #powerplants and #transportation are particularly important in perpetuating #airquality #inequity. When these types of pollution are targeted, it can reduce imbalances.

#Montana’s New #AntiClimate #Law May Be the Most Aggressive in the Nation
The legislation, signed into law last week, is even more restrictive than North Carolina’s infamous 2012 law that prohibited policymakers from considering sea-level rise. Montana Republican lawmakers passed legislation that bars state agencies from considering #climatechange when permitting large projects that require environmental reviews, including #coal #mines and #powerplants. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16052023/todays-climate-montana-anti-climate-law/

Why putting rooftop #solar on all US #warehouses is a no-brainer – in numbers: US has more than 450,000 warehouses and distribution centers – that’s 16.4 billion square feet of rooftop space ripe for hosting #solarpanels. If all US warehouses adopted solar, then the equivalent of more than 112 million metric tons of #carbondioxide annually would be reduced. That’s like taking 24 million gas cars off the road for a year, or taking 30 #coal-fired #powerplants offline. https://electrek.co/2023/04/22/rooftop-solar-us-warehouses/

Disease of the #patriarchy: one of the major sources of #AirPollution is hidden in our basements and #utility closets. Gas #appliances in #buildings generate four times as much smog-forming #pollutants as all of California’s gas #PowerPlants combined. Here in the Bay Area, they contribute more #lungdamaging #nitrogenoxide pollution than the region’s passenger cars.

This #geothermal startup showed its wells can be used like a giant underground #battery
#Fervo can create flexible geothermal #powerplants, capable of ramping #electricity output up or down as needed. Potentially more important, the system can store up energy for hours or even days and deliver it back over similar period
