Scott Tinker, "World’s road out of poverty is paved by energy — and plenty of It" https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/3939151-worlds-road-out-of-poverty-is-paved-by-energy-and-plenty-of-it/

« Asia provides a vast majority of the products that the developed economies — led by the EU and the U.S. — consume. We are essentially asking (with our dollars and euros) China, India and other manufacturing nations to produce our stuff, use coal to keep it cheap and emit CO2 so we can be “clean.” This CO2 shell game does not reduce emissions into our single global atmosphere. »

« Net-zero poverty to accelerate net-zero emissions. »

Heesu Lee, "Korea Pares Back Renewables as It Taps Nuclear for Climate Goal" (2022) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-30/korea-pares-back-renewables-as-it-taps-nuclear-for-climate-goal

«Renewable energy should account for 21.5% of generation capacity by the end of the decade, according to a draft of the nation’s long-term power supply plan, down from 30.2% under the previous version, the energy ministry said Tuesday in a statement, citing a government advisory group. Most of the gap would be met by nuclear while coal and gas are little changed from the prior proposal. [...]

If the draft is finalized, it will mark a turning point under the new government led by President Yoon Suk Yeol that focuses on nuclear energy rather than renewables to meet climate goals.»

  Side Effects of Wind Energy: Review of Three Topics—Status and Open Questions
  
  from Philipp Lengsfeld
  
  Wind energy is considered a pillar of the low-carbon energy system of the future. Whereas the side effects and social costs of fossil energy sources (coal, oil and gas), as well as those of nuclear energy, are well-documented and quantified, understanding of the analogous questions with respect to wind energy is far less advanced. However, such understanding is crucial in order to minimize the influence of wind energy on the environment and to compare its social costs with those of conventional energy sources. Here, we summarize the state of knowledge of three side effects of wind energy that have not been convincingly evaluated to date. We focus our analysis on three topics, namely (1) the impact of wind energy on insects; (2) the impact of wind energy on the spatiotemporal distribution of air velocity, temperature, moisture and precipitation in the vicinity of wind parks; and (3) the impact of wind energy on humans through noise emission. For each topic, we formulate open research questions that should be addressed by responsible policy incentives in order to comprehensively assess the social costs of wind energy and to develop wind farms with minimal impact on their environment.

#infrastructure (history of; its resilience and tenacity vis-à-vis change is more important than "energy" and "renewables")

#landgrabbing (primarily the Progressive and Green one)

#logistics (history of; supply chains, technical inventions, standardisations, politics)

#nuclear (given climate change its risks are minuscle compared to other means of electricity generation incl. renewables)

#peakrenewables (my hunch that, given supply issues, environmental impacts of mining and production, economic cost-benefit ratios, etc., we already face the peak of construction of renewables; idea: we're set to see a stagnation, even shrinking, not an increase in the construction of renewables)

#postdoom (not scientism nor blind faith in technical progress (which usually ignores the social fall-out) but the stance that the complexity of our world is the main source of hope and the main reason why the chatter of doom is less about reality but a psychology)

#rain (we have too little where I live; and I love its sound)

#renewables (mostly technical developments, liabilities, and economic viability)

#sources (instead of "bookmarks" a collection of info sources that caught my eyes)

#talkingtomyselflettingyoulisten (personal musings in which I develop (or rather: follow the trait of) thoughts and ideas; not to provoke, or troll, or to invite heated discussions)
