Gas spent 20 years owning the evening peak. Batteries took a year to crash the party.
That's disruption. Not gradual, but a rapid shift in who supplies grid's most valuable hours.
The battle was never about total generation. It was about the peak & batteries are winning it.
It was around 5 years ago I started turning very bearish on crypto for the long term.
I missed out on the really to 100k, but at the time I argued tech stocks offered much better risk/reward ratios and much higher potential upside. I was right, but early.
I have no regrets.
India is very much the canary in the coal mine..
The alarm bells should already be ringing.
Imagine the global chaos if hundreds of millions of people are driven to flee their land because it simply becomes uninhabitable.
And this is before we potentially get a Super El Nino..
India is still on fire it's been 10 days and some places have hit 45C every day
They have no AC and nearly 2 billion people have to live AND work in this
Within a decade or two it is going to be unlivable and they are all going to migrate
THEN you will be complaining
@renewablesmiffy@drvolts The entire reason it ever got any funding was because it helps fossil fuel companies justify continued operation.
It's a slightly less obvious con than "clean coal" which isn't saying much.
Yet the UK is wasting billions on it.
@renewablesmiffy@drvolts Add to this: why are we waiting money on CCS when there is plenty of evidence that simple rewinding projects are a more efficient method of capturing co2?
Not to mention that we can all clearly see the links to fossil fuel companies.
@AlphaTango63@Johnpaulelliott@Rod__Mason@RobMcGuire4 No, but anyone covering nature for 70 years has witnessed mass extinction of species, vast habitat destruction and entire ecosystems collapsing much of which is directly attributed to climate change, and generally they are overlapping spheres of influence.
@fatbastard74@SkyNews Had to find a way to get migration into this didn't you?
Nothing about this is remotely related to migration, but you found a way to still blame them instead of the private water companies who filled our rivers with shit and cut infrastructure to breaking point while profiting.
@dissident1000@7Kiwi@ejwwest And by the way.. he does that on purpose.. if he showed individual countries you'd see quite clearly that we are not alone in tackling this. He wants you to feel like nobody else is doing anything.
@dissident1000@7Kiwi@ejwwest That's because that chart conveniently lumps them all under 'world' where big countries with booming populations who didn't even have running water and electricity everywhere 25 years ago are skewing things to make it look bad. Most countries are actually doing their part.
