Mines To Reduce 80 Percent
A major global disruption will be the exit of coal from thermal electricity generations. Much coal is consumed within the country, but the 6 major exporters of coal will be impacted the most. New mines will not replace the loss of existing coal mines.
China Renewable Energy Plan
China has invested heavily in coal for electricity over the past 30 years but has made the switch to renewable energy and targets all new energy from renewable sources by 2025 and net zero by 2060.
Food and Agriculture Disruption by Fermentation
Precision fermentation will see a collapse in the existing farming systems. With protein and fat made in fermentation vats, 90% of agriculture will cease. Regeneis of the vast areas of agriculture can regenerate.
Memes for Climate Deniers and Delayers
An image can say a thousand words – and facts and figures won’t sway a climate denier or climate delayer. But humour may do. Lets see
Stop Burning Rocks for Energy
We have burnt rocks for a million years and every year we burn 500 years of the products of the carbonaceas period as fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not fuel. It harnesses energy from the nuclear sun. Batteries can store it. RE stops energy poverty.
Electric Vehicle Numbers Increasing
Electric vehicles are displacing conventional ICE vehicles and by 2025 Bloomberg NEF predicts 1 in 4 new cars will be electric. EVs have already displaced 1.5 million barrels of oil per day. Peak oil for transport will be by 2027.
5 Signs of Climate Deniers
The 5 signs of climate deniers or climagte delayers. The arguments may appear reasonable but they are generally anonymous, selective, persistent diversionary and irrational. Spot them easily.
Changes to Society from Disruptions
The development of multiple streams of technology leads to disruption of an industry or society. What can be done to ensure that disruption provides value to all, and not just a few.
Ownership of Australias Electricity and Grid
An improved electricity distributon network will be needed to transport energy from renewable energy generators (solar and wind) to cities and factories. Who owns the existing network? What improvements are needed.
Evidence of Increasing Renewable Energy
Evidence of increasing renewable energy comes from most countries. Australia is one of the fastest changing but the USA is also rapidly changing, as is China
Underwater Power Cable for Renewable Energy
High Voltage DC transmission systems are driving underwater power cable for renewable energy transmitted over thousands of km from Africa to UK or Australia to Singapore. Cheap solar is driving the change.
Carbon Footprint of Wind Turbines
The Carbon Footprint to build a wind turbine is paid back on average in 7 months, and costs about 10gCO2-equivalent compared to gas at 600, and coal at 1,000 g-CO2/kWh.
15 Myths of Nuclear Power
