Why, oh why, do you keep posting such ridiculous narratives?
The western elites, who control so much of what happens in the western world, dont give a crap about climate or climate science, and ESPECIALLY NOT climate scientists. Yanno, all they really want is more power.

Financiers, big pharma ... auto mfrs, MIC, transportation, electronics mfrs, ... NONE of the elites REALLY want to slow down climate change. If they really wanted to, they would cut back on THEIR OWN excesses and wasteful products.
Not seeing any real impetus to fix things, just a lot of self-serving virtue signalling.
WEF just wants to depopulate the globe and impoverish the remainder. Others just want more profit.
Please manage your fantasies better.

Here you go, idiot...
But keep driving around that fake Ford not-F-150 that can't haul anything and smelling your own farts.

WOW.
Not on topic.
Not even meaningless virtue-sigalling.
Just an attempted smear job.
Way to go, 'tard!

The U.N. found global emissions need to fall 42 percent by 2030 to put the world on track to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 or by 28 percent to hold temperature increases to the 2 C targeted by the Paris Agreement. Doing so would require a sudden reversal in global emission trends, which have risen steadily in recent decades. The longer it takes the world to meaningfully cut emissions, the more carbon dioxide removal technology will be needed to stabilize global temperatures, the U.N. said.

Investment in renewable energy ($659 billion) now exceeds money spent on oil and gas production ($508 billion), according to IEA.

After a short walk from my house, I can see the red blinking light at the top of the Calpine Baytown power plant smokestacks:
Calpine to receive up to $270M from DOE for carbon capture at Baytown power plant
By Claire Hao, Staff writer | Dec 15, 2023

The U.S. Department of Energy is awarding up to $270 million in a cost-sharing agreement for a new carbon capture and storage project in Baytown to be built by Calpine, a power generation company based in Houston. https://www.energy.gov/oced/carbon-capture-demonstration-projects-sele
ctions-award-negotiations
The project would capture carbon dioxide emissions from Calpine’s 896-megawatt natural gas power plant in Baytown, which provides power to the Texas electric grid as well as steam and power to the adjacent Covestro chemicals facility, according to a company statement. One megawatt can power about 200 Texas homes, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state's grid operator.
Calpine’s Baytown carbon capture project would capture and store approximately 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, the company said. Carbon capture equipment will reduce the intensity of emissions at two of the plant’s three combustion turbines at a design capture rate of 95%, the statement said. https://calpinecarboncapture.com/calpines-baytown-ccs-project-selected
-by-the-department-of-energy-to-advance-carbon-capture-and-storage-infrastructure/
The captured carbon dioxide is to be transported and stored in saline storage sites on the Gulf Coast, according to the DOE. The project might also use gray water, wastewater from showers, tubs, bathroom sinks and washing machines, for cooling the power plant instead of fresh water, according to the DOE.
“Facilities like Baytown will be part of our energy infrastructure for the foreseeable future, and now with (carbon capture and storage) technology, we can decarbonize them,” Caleb Stephenson, Calpine’s executive vice president of commercial operations, said in the statement.
The Baytown cost-sharing agreement is one of three carbon capture projects receiving up to $890 million from the DOE as part of the agency’s Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program. The others are a Calpine natural gas power plant in California and a coal-fired power plant in North Dakota being developed by Minnkota Power Cooperative.

As of September, the only utility-scale carbon capture facility affixed to an electricity-generating plant in the country was the Petra Nova project attached to NRG’s WA Parish Plant southwest of Houston.
The Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program aims to advance commercial demonstration of advanced carbon capture technologies, which the agency calls “critical to addressing the climate crisis.”
The power sector is the second-largest contributor (after transportation) of greenhouse gases in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions

By 2030, solar and wind is forecast by RMI to supply over a third of all global electricity, up from around 12% today. Based on the forecasts, this would see solar and wind generate 12,000-14,000TWh by 2030, 3-4 times higher compared with 2022 levels. It would also surpass recent calls running up to COP28 for a tripling of total renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Meanwhile, fossil fuel demand for electricity will be in steep decline, according to the RMI analysis, down as much as 30% from the 2022 peak by 2030, as renewable electricity further outcompetes hydrocarbons on cost.
RMI forecasts that what is already the cheapest form of electricity in history will roughly halve in price again by 2030, falling as low as $20/MWh for solar from over $40MWh currently. That is 2 cents per kilowatt-hour in the unit most common on electric bills. Check your bill to see what you are paying.

The largest clean energy project in US history closes on $11 billion in financing and starts full construction
By Michelle Lewis | Dec 28 2023 - 10:38 am PT
SunZia Wind is the largest wind project in the Western Hemisphere. The 3,500-megawatt (MW) wind farm is being built across New Mexico’s counties of Torrance, Lincoln, and San Miguel.
SunZia Transmission is a 550-mile ± 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona. When complete, it will have the capacity to transport 3,000 MW of clean energy.
SunZia Transmission will enable SunZia Wind to supply customers in Arizona and California during early evening hours when demand is high but available renewable energy supply is low. It’s going to use the same corridor as the Western Spirit Transmission Line.
Wind turbine giant Vestas announced yesterday that it’s secured a firm order from Pattern Energy Group to supply 242 4.5-megawatt turbines for SunZia Wind.
The 1.1-gigawatt (GW) order is Vestas’ largest order to date in the US market and its largest single onshore project globally. It’s also the largest order globally for Vestas’ newest high-capacity factor turbine.
