various charts about CO2 emission and material comparisons.pdf

I gathered several charts, depends on how you define "efficient" and "cost curves", there are various indicators drive.google.com/file/d/1Iy5v...

Indeed, you're not the first to mention GFM exists, scale matters When will GFM be available at the scale required? www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

In my opinion, your opinion of @mliebreich.bsky.social could be deemed controversial.

Nope, not me, the power engineers and experts I referred, you seem to know better than them.

Ah yes, the classic shill card play. I prefer, as best I can, to be in alignment with the scientific laws of physics, chemistry and thermodynamics.

Did you read all the links I shared the comment on Liebriech's substack, for example, the Sandia National Laboratories report, which is 49 page? 2 other reports in there as well. Very TLDR IBR's are incapable of ancillary services mliebreich.substack.com/p/lessons-fr...

Why do you think these recommendations won't age well? How will ancillary services be done on an IBR dominated electricity grid?

Thank you, now how about this for a 180, totally off topic. You used to put together your favorite music lists, correct? Do you still? I know nothing about musical instruments, do you? My friend claims stratocaster guitars make a buzz or hum and claims he has a solution for sale. Hmm? bzzzzkill.com

Energy Access is not the same as Energy Abundance What Maslow can teach us (and maybe M300 too) about the Hierarchy of Electricity Needs

approx. 3.5 billion live with insufficient, or no, access to energy today, will all 10 billion of us by 2050 have a good standard of living? Be sure to read and watch the three minute video toddmoss.substack.com/p/energy-acc...

If one is concerned about permanently displacing fossil fuel production, reducing GHG emissions and pollution, it is of no value to talk about capacity, consumption provides a much better picture. In addition, renewables likely includes high emitting bioenergy robbieandrew.github.io/GCB2024/PNG/...
