Energy Sector Growth & Drivers - AI is a significant driver of growth in the electricity sector, which has seen limited growth in recent years [1][2] - Reshoring of manufacturing also contributes to electricity demand growth [2] - A substantial portion of American energy growth is attributed to exports to allies in Europe and Asia, independent of AI [2] - The industry anticipates the need for an additional 100 gigawatts of new firm capacity in the next 5 years [3] Climate Change Perspective - The perception of climate change among the public and actual climate science have diverged significantly [5] - Data aggregated over the continental US show no significant long-term trend in the most extreme weather events [7] - The IPCC has acknowledged the inability to directly link carbon dioxide to increased adverse weather events [8] - The world is becoming greener and slightly wetter, potentially making it a better place [15] Energy Transition & Future - Eventual decarbonization of the world is achievable through technology, but it is generations away [13] - Nuclear energy currently accounts for approximately 5% of global energy, down from 6.5% at the turn of the century [17] - Wind, solar, and batteries account for 2.6% of global energy and are unlikely to reach double digits [18] - Increased fossil fuel prices, driven by policies aimed at reducing domestic production, benefit the industry's top 1% but negatively impact the broader population [19]

Hello, hello, hello. Good, good, good. Yeah, thank you guys for coming out on a Friday.I know this is school is not the place you necessarily want to be. Um, and I have a confession which is that I am significantly lazier than the previous speakers who had their talking points all in their mind. I'm going to be reading off page.Uh, so bear with that. So, there is an ancient folklore about a hummingbird that comes from the Ketwa people in the Andes Mountains of Peru. For those of you who remember Ishmael fro ...

“For a long time Shanxi has prospered on coal, but also been trapped by it,” Xi Jinping has said. Yet efforts to wean the province off the fossil fuel have achieved little.Entrenched interests and inefficient government are obstacles https://t.co/Cd6nC453cF ...

Energy Transition - China's energy sector has reached a turning point regarding coal consumption [1] - Renewable energy sources, specifically wind and solar, have surpassed fossil fuels in energy production for the first time [1]
