We are at Peak Carbon. Coal is dying fast. Oil is up next in Renewable Tuesday, with natural gas close behind. There is more news than we can follow. I will do my best to keep you up to date. But we have no idea what will come out of Baku when it hosts COP29 in Azerbaijan, considering its past devotion to fossil fuels and its current war.
Anyway, as to carbon, start here.

Wind
The turbine’s hub is 146 meters (479 feet) high – that’s as tall as a 50-story building.The 16 MW wind turbine was installed in June at the Zhangpu Liuao Phase 2 offshore wind farm in the southeastern Fujian Province and came online on July 19 2023. State-owned power company China Three Gorges (CTG) is developing and building Zhangpu Liuao Phase 2.
And there is clearly lots more where that came from.

Denial
The Administration has incorporated its radical climate policy into every USAID initiative.
It has joined or funded international partnerships dedicated to advancing the aims of the Paris Climate Agreement and has supported the idea of giving trillions of dollars more in aid transfers for“climate reparations.”
The Biden Administration’s extreme climate policies have worsened global food insecurity and hunger. Its anti–fossil fuel agenda has led to a sharp spike in global energy prices. Inflation has hit the poor the hardest as they expend a higher proportion of income on food purchases. Farmers in poor countries can no longer afford to buy expensive natural gas–based fertilizers that are key to achieving high yields of food production. Under advice from climate radicals, the government of Sri Lanka even banned chemical fertilizers entirely without having any replacements in place. The result has been hunger and violent political instability.
The aid industry claims that climate change causes poverty, which is false.

And there is plenty more where that came from, too.
Personal Note
I’m wrapping this up here, even though more is going on in the world, because we had to vacate our house today, in advance of demolding, and set up in a motel. It’s 4 am, and I need at least some sleep before this goes live at 7 am.
