Of the remaining 88% of US final energy, 83% is fossil fuels and 5% is biofuels, which are about as bad as fossil fuels. I believe the permitting bill would likely have real benefits for wind and solar (2.5%), as well as geothermal (0.07%). But these combine to just 2.57% of US final energy.

Collapse of Atlantic ocean current depends on global warming rate. Sounds familiar. This new study confirms our work from 30 years ago. www.sciencedaily.com/rele….

The Atlantic Ocean can handle more warming than expected — with one big catch

Scientists have found that the AMOC may be far more vulnerable to rapid warming than to temperature alone. When warming happens slowly, the ocean can adapt, but at faster rates similar to today’s, the...

As we think through the potential benefits and risks of the permitting bill, it's worth remembering that electricity is 18% of US final energy. Non-fossil electricity is 7%. Wind is 1.8%. Solar is 0.7%. The permitting bill would affect the whole energy industry. A big game with high stakes.

I'm thinking about spending a class or two on the Strait of Hormuz closure, how oil prices and demand have responded, what's different between this and previoius oil shocks (hi, EVs), and what this example can teach us about how effective is might or might not be to constrain fossil fuel supply.
