#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.

Australia’s #rooftop #solar
success puts even California’s #renewable #energy progress to shame. The country has three times more rooftop solar installations per capita than the Golden State.
That difference is cost.
In Australia rooftop solar costs less than $1 per watt to install. In America, #installation #costs range from $2.20 to $3.50 per watt depending on which state you live in, with a median cost of $2.80 per watt.

In this particular case of living through history, Earth just logged the hottest global temperature ever recorded three days in a row—and perhaps the hottest it’s been in some 125,000 years.

FirstEnergy and AEP says, Well, what do we do with these things? I know. Let's bring them to West Virginia. Let's put them on the backs of the West Virginia ratepayers.

#RenewablesAreDeflationary: Restaurants that depend on #gascooking, such as tabletop Korean barbecues, are grappling with huge January #gasbills — including a tab of more than $13,000 at one spot in L.A.’s Chinatown. Restaurant owners are talking about raising prices to cope, and even temporarily shutting down, The Times’ Stephanie Breijo and Cindy Carcamo report.

#RenewablesAreDeflationary: More than 13GWh of power was generated by the country's wind farms, equivalent to the electricity consumption of nearly 3m Irish families.
Analysis carried out by energy specialist Baringa found that without wind energy, Ireland would have had to spend an additional €1.65bn on gas for power generation in 2022 and an extra €340m on carbon credits to produce electricity by burning that gas. https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/economy/arid-41048771.html
