Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.

Modern energy systems based on renewables are absolutely possible.
Don’t let oil execs and autocrats tell you otherwise.

Back in 2000 the share of wind and solar in Europe’s electricity was a combined 0.8%.
Today it's at 30%, and the economy has grown by 45%.
In fact, a renewables-based energy system will save 🇪🇺 €1.6 trillion, finds new @windeurope.bsky.social study.

I suspect that the *real* reason yam tits et al are SO invested in #FossilFuels (and intent on destroying renewables) is because renewables are *everywhere* (& available to everyone, diluting the oil-based power structure), FFs are restricted to very specific places. Severely limiting who has power.

We pay more than enough in taxes to cover the costs of climate mitigation and do it in such a way as to completely rebuild our electric grid using clean green renewables. Community based decentralized power generation that powers the road and your homes and businesses.

During my PhD i kept coming across this number about the maximum grid penetration for renewables.
So, I started to dig. Tracing back what references I could. Never found a single analytical or empirical basis for it. It appeared to have sprung from thin air based on some engineers' intuition.

People used to say, with great confidence, that variable renewables could never safely provide more than 5% of grid power. That estimate has crept up ever since, though the "great confidence" part never wavers.
Anyway, about China ...

Five insights 🧵:
1) The value of additional solar plants in south-east Europe and particularly Italy is still very high.

I Completely agree with Dr Paul Dorfman, who knows what he is talking about
"Nuclear is not a natural partner with renewables, indeed, it is a delaying tactic, holding back rapid decarbonisation, and adds extra and unnecessary cost to a renewables-based energy system."
