A 100% renewable grid isn’t just feasible, it’s already happening

Debate over whether we can run electric grids on 100% renewables in coming decades misses a key point: many countries and regions are already there.

It's a logarithmic graph. From 1850 to 1970 you can see there was about 0.4 deg of warning.

In the last 50 years about 1 deg

Trump

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705

The U.S. oil industry is drawing up ready-to-sign executive orders for Donald Trump aimed at pushing natural gas exports, cutting drilling costs and increasing offshore oil leases in case he wins a second term, according to energy executives with direct knowledge of the work.

The effort stems from the industry’s skepticism that the Trump campaign will be able to focus on energy issues as Election Day draws closer — and worries that the former president is too distracted to prepare a quick reversal of the Biden administration’s green policies. Oil executives also worry that a second Trump administration won’t attract staff skillful enough to roll back President Joe Biden’s regulations or craft new ones favoring the industry, these people added.

For those wondering, the peak of the flooding here will be this week.

This weekend, we’ve been hit with more storms. The rivers went all up again, after a few days of declining.

Geography doesn’t help evacuating the waters. It’s going to take a while…
