Standards for existing stationary carbon sources (focused on power plants to date). Vehicle biofuels requirements. Nuclearpower regulation D. Rules relating to renewable and fossilfuel development on public lands and offshore. Electric vehicle and biofuel policies E. Renewable portfolio standards.
It is a highly professional and analytically competent organization, rather conservative, and quite sympathetic to the perspectives and business needs of the energy sector, including fossil-fuel producers. Fossil enterprises and political leaders in major fossil producers ranged from politely dismissive to openly contemptuous.
Healey issued the CID in connection with an investigation into unfair or deceptive acts or practices in trade or commerce with respect to fossilfuel products and securities. Minnesota Federal Court Said State Biofuel Mandate Was Not Preempted. Power Plant Owners Challenged New York “Zero Emission Credits” for Nuclear Plants.
Responsible for nuclear physics which has given us nuclearpower, and nuclear medicine which has opened up new avenues of medical treatment for such things as cancer. Finally, physics can be used to calculate the amount of energy produced by the processing and burning of biofuel just as it has for fossilfuels.
But what you probably haven’t heard is that our grid is getting dirtier again, with fossilfuels increasing in our electricity supply from burning natural gas. The rest of our power comes from a mix of nuclearpower, renewables like hydro, wind and solar power, and biofuel. Source: IESO [link].
Despite investing nearly a half-trillion dollars, Germany still generated just 42 percent of its electricity from non-hydro renewables last year, as compared to the 72 percent France generated from nuclear. Nuclear-heavy French electricity produces one-tenth the carbon emissions as renewables-heavy German electricity at nearly half the price.
The “climate policies” the authors refer to are ones that would make energy more expensive and result in more bioenergy (the burning of biofuels and biomass), which would increase land scarcity and drive up food costs. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez last year called for the closure of US nuclearpower plants.
Cornyn’s Senate website emphasizes expansion of fossilfuel production but also touts Texas as a “trailblazer in renewable energy.” But, he says, “we’re not yet at the point innovation-wise where we can rely mostly on intermittent, renewable sources to power electric grids.” John Cornyn (TX).
