I found out about it this weekend because I listen to the dorkiest, most inside-baseball climate podcast on Earth, Shift Key. (If you want to actually care about climate change, this (and Volts from @drvolts) are the podcasts!) x.com/robinsonmeyer/…

Coal plants are just 20% of our power mix right now, but because it's so dirty, it's still more than half of the power sector's CO2 emissions. The new rules say that coal fired power plants need to capture all of their CO2 by 2032 or close by 2039.
So, I guess, we're just all very lucky to have people working their asses of to address climate change even though, apparently, it will go unnoticed and not sway anyone to vote for them because we're too busy being snarky on a website.
Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/hillaryclinton…

ICYMI, @robinsonmeyer and @JesseJenkins hosted an emergency episode of SHIFT KEY to break down the EPA's new power plant emissions rules. Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts: heatmap.news/podcast/shift-…
Construction giant Skanska will turn the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into one of the US’s largest offshore wind ports. The $861M facility will serve as staging ground, O&M hub & interconnection point for the 2.1 GW Empire Wind project and others electrek.co/2024/04/26/ska…
🚨Emergency Podcast!🚨Is this the end of the line for unabated climate warming pollution from coal-fired power plants? What about the future for gas? @robinsonmeyer & I break down new @EPA power plant emissions rules. Listen here or wherever you get pods: open.spotify.com/episode/1WDzDx…
NEW SHIFT KEY: The EPA’s rules on carbon pollution from power plants are finally here. @JesseJenkins and I break down how they work, what they mean for US climate goals, and why they depend so heavily on carbon capture. (It’s all about the courts.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shi…

As the U.S. electricity and transportation sectors start to decarbonize, heavy industry — including steel, cement & chemicals — could become the country's top source of planet-warming emissions by 2035. @MariaVirginiaO with the Chart of the Week! canarymedia.com/articles/emiss…

A lot of great rules coming out right now from the Biden admin, but one that has gone under the radar is on NEPA reforms from the DOE! Specifically, expanding the list of projects that qualify for categorical exclusions, which can speed up NEPA reviews from 2 years to 2 months!🧵
25 states sue EPA to block emissions standards that will clean up new vehicles. "All 25 states participating in the lawsuit are headed by Republican administrations." gmauthority.com/blog/2024/04/2… These days, it should be expected, but it is still disappointing to see such open…
"China's largest auto show opened in Beijing on Thursday with the biggest names showing off their latest electric vehicles (EVs), underlining how the world's largest auto market is already in an all-electric state of mind, and isn't looking back." reuters.com/business/autos…
The @EPA finalized rules today to limit the pollution from power plants that drives climate change. npr.org/2024/04/25/123… New rules will require existing coal plants to capture 90% of their CO2 emissions by 2032 or retire before 2039. New gas plants also face emissions limits.
Happy Transmission Thursday! A few developments out of DOE: ⚡️Finalized rule establishing CITAP (aims to halve federal transmission permitting timeline - setting 2-year schedule) ⚡️$331M in funding for transmission line from Idaho to Nevada energy.gov/articles/biden…

@paulkingmorris I had that exact thought after I posted😂 I was just using that virus as a size reference (roughly 100nm)
Don’t have a sense of how small transistors are? The lithography techniques used in ASML systems today could etch 2 transistors on a single SARS-CoV-2 virus
These charts should make it abundantly clear that the material usage difference between renewables and nuclear is basically irrelevant given how big of a step change both are from the status quo.
ROCKS Nuclear energy has conspicuously low minerals/material footprint compared to other electricity generation technologies. Brand new research from my colleagues @TheBTI: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…
Priceless. Yes, elements (Lithium in this case) do in fact last forever, that's what makes them elements 🤣
@HarrisBerton So it is just like magic, it lasts forever? Ever. like, hear of science? Maybe the laws of thermodynamics?

Construction giant Skanska will turn the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into one of the US’s largest offshore wind ports. The $861M facility will serve as staging ground, O&M hub & interconnection point for the 2.1 GW Empire Wind project and others electrek.co/2024/04/26/ska…
@samkanner @JesseJenkins Hmmm. Might it also be a good place to assemble floating or offshore #nuclear? Given recent offshore wind project cancellations, it might be good to diversify the product mix.
@hankgreen @JesseJenkins It’s the irony , isn’t it. Public servants and elected officials who serve the public and get stuff done to heal our climate aren’t US heroes-and they should be!! They are to me and I vote for heroes who get it’s about governing. 🦸
What's at stake for our climate in this November's elections? Absolutely everything. carbonbrief.org/analysis-trump…
The only answer I have for this question is because the Biden folks don't want the fucking world to end. They want to hit the Paris Agreement targets and so that America can lead by example, even if there is a political cost and very little gain.
3. The people who actually care about climate change WILL NOT EVEN KNOW IT HAPPENED, DO NOT CELEBRATE IT, AND INSTEAD WILL FOCUS ON A MISINTERPRETED GRAPH AND OWNING HILLARY CLINTON.
So why is the Biden Administration working it's ass off to get to the 2050 target when: 1. It is going to increase power costs, providing ammunition to conservatives. 2. It's a huge pain in the ass because conservative justices keep getting nominated.
I found out about it this weekend because I listen to the dorkiest, most inside-baseball climate podcast on Earth, Shift Key. (If you want to actually care about climate change, this (and Volts from @drvolts) are the podcasts!) x.com/robinsonmeyer/…
NEW SHIFT KEY: The EPA’s rules on carbon pollution from power plants are finally here. @JesseJenkins and I break down how they work, what they mean for US climate goals, and why they depend so heavily on carbon capture. (It’s all about the courts.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shi…
Now, do you think I found out about it when tens of thousands of people shared tweets about it? Yeah, of course not. The Sierra Club and NRDC and Earth Justice all tweeted excitedly about it and got...dozens of likes. Governor Jay Inslee GOT RATIOED OVER IT!
They worked for years to make a legally strong case that the EPA has the ability to regulate the majority of our power sector's CO2 emissions out of existence and it ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN and it's a testament to hard, smart, long work that it did.
The coal lobby has always said "Carbon Capture is the Future" so the Biden Admin is saying "OK, 2032 sounds like the future to me....here are the tools to get there. If it isn't the future, then stop emitting CO2 by shutting down."
They did this with the IRA and the Infrastructure Law (a move that a lot of progressives disliked, but was part of these machinations.) Because Trump appointed so many conservative justices, they had to get that passed before they could legally justify the new rules.
But if the coal companies could credibly say "No, carbon capture isn't ready yet, you're asking us to do something we can't do." Then the court would just overturn it, so the Biden Admin first had to pass laws that developed and supported CO2 capture technology.
But then Trump was president and he of course scrapped everything. So, Biden's EPA had to figure out how to do it in a way that fit with court precedent, and that meant keeping it a regulation that affected individual power plants, which mean't "capture carbon or close."
But then the Supreme Court (with justices appointed by GWB) stopped the regulation from going into effect, and eventually said, "OK, you can regulate CO2, but you can't create a carbon market. You can only regulate individual power plants."
The Obama admin quickly interfaced with the EPA and attempted to do the obvious thing...create a carbon market where different sectors could trade credits so we could decarbonize as efficiently as possible.
