In a finite world the leaders at every level call for growth as an economic answer to everything in the world. It is comical that at the same time they think they can save the world by reduction.

People are acting like we've never had droughts before, never had heat waves, never had tornadoes, never had hurricanes, etc, etc, etc....
It's called weather...it's unpredictable. If you think people can completely change the weather patterns on planet earth after only a couple hundred years of industry, you are nuts. Looks and the average winter/summer/annual temp data from your stage for the last 100 years...........weather is doing it's normal thing, it fluctuates. http://climate.missouri.edu/charts.php |

Further, coal adoption is falling and natural gas is flat. Wind and solar are seeing exponential growth. Hydropower is flat because most sources worldwide are already tapped.  And all this is without going into things like heat pump adoption, industry shifts, land use changes, etc.. |

I don't care what the average global cost is...I care what the cost is here in the US. And I'm assuming that "by source" is referring to the actual power plant itself....not what it costs the end user...right? Why would the end user care how much it costs to build the actual plant? If the solar plant costs 500M to build and a coal plant costs 800M to build.....but they can still buy electricity from coal at half the price....isn't that what really matters? Cost to the end user? |

That included one plant operated by CPS Energy, which an official said was idled by an unplanned outage. https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/As-Texas-gets-hotter-grid-operator-leaning-17318276.php More gas, coal, and nuclear generation was unexpectedly offline than wind. Additionally, wind generation isn't expected to be a big piece of the pie during summer, as Texas sees less wind in the summer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Cherry picking short term temperature changes is intellectually dishonest. These folks greatly overestimated the significance of mankind on the earth sciences. Quote HistoryQuoted: Cherry picking short term temperature changes is intellectually dishonest. These folks greatly overestimated the significance of mankind on the earth sciences. Dessler is a fanatic. Won't even debate luke warmers: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/02/17/dessler-on-the-joe-rogan-experience-oy/ Andrew Dessler, a climatologist at Texas A&M University, will have nothing to do with any critics of climate alarm. This activist has pure scorn toward his intellectual and scientific doubters. “Angry Andy” is certain that climate science is settled and drop-everything alarming. A deep ecologist (nature is optimal and fragile; human interference cannot be good), Dessler has long concluded that we are headed for (or already in) a climate dystopia. Any fair hearing of the less extreme view of global lukewarming/CO2 benefits would be a leak in the dike, one that could expand and take down the Wall of Climate Gloom. But for now, the cancel culture is at work with climate science in particular. Michael Mann (Dessler’s colleague in arms) put it this way: All of the noise right now from the climate change denial machine, the bots & trolls, the calls for fake ‘debates’, etc. Ignore it all. Deniers are desperate for oxygen in a mainstream media environment that thankfully is no longer giving it to them. Report, block. Don’t engage. Imagine an open-minded young person considering a career in climatology. He or she wants to really wants to probe the look-the-other-way areas of uncertainty with climate-feedback physics and with climate models. Seek and expand the frontiers of knowledge under the highest standards of the scientific method. Show professionalism and respect for the views of colleagues and others. Experience politeness and social skills, given and received. That person best not enter into a profession where an Andrew Dessler or a Michael Mann or a John Holdren would sneer and blackball. Remember what Mann said about Judith Curry in Climategate: “I gave up on Judith Curry a while ago. I don’t know what she thinks she’s doing, but it’s not helping the cause, or her professional credibility.” Cancel Culture 101. |

He has been on the news..........and is part of the "new generation of profs, on campus."
He says.....wind generation is down.....because of lower winds being produced. He says.....solar generation is down....because it is more cloudy this time of year. His solution..........do not use LNG clean powered power plants (to assist in meeting peak demands).......but build more wind farms and solar power. "Yet the high temperatures were not all that unusual for Texas this summer. So even though demand was pushing to near-record levels, the primary reason for the call for conservation was “wind generation [that] is currently generating significantly less than what it historically generated in this time period.” On Wednesday, some forced traditional outages and lower solar output (due to West Texas cloud cover) also contributed." You can thank a long term plan, called Vision 2020...that was implemented some time ago. This is the result.......so A&M can be like every other liberal campus. They are on a mission.

Quoted: “BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Some 120 million Americans are facing excessive heat warnings and advisories today. It’s no better in Europe, where unheard-of temperatures and drought conditions are generating devastating wildfires. Andrew Dessler, the director of the Texas Center for Climate Studies and Texas A&M professor of Geosciences, joined First News at Four to discuss the cause of these extreme temperatures. There’s no denying it’s a hot summer but the question is whether the heat will beat the record-breaking temperatures of 2011 or come in a close second. “I mean, I don’t want to be one of these people that says I told you so, but you know, for the last 100 years scientists have been warning that if we dump a lot of carbon into the atmosphere, we’re going to get really hot temperatures, and we dumped a lot of carbon in the atmosphere and as a result temperatures are going up,” explained Dessler. According to Dessler, due to climate change, heat waves are getting hotter and more frequent, but he believes it is not too late for things to change. “There’s absolutely hope. I don’t want anybody to think that we can’t do anything about it, but the key word there is you’ve got to do something,” said Dessler. While he believes it’s necessary to rebuild the energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, Dessler admits that to make this possible people need to vote for elected leaders who see the risk of climate change. Dessler sees Texans at a higher risk than most, explaining that “we have a long coastline so we’re vulnerable to sea level rise or vulnerable to hurricanes. We’re vulnerable to extreme precipitation events or vulnerable to extreme heat.” While Dessler admits individual actions like driving less, eating less meat, and flying less can be beneficial, the best tool people have to fight climate change is their vote.”
