“In this study, [they] model spatiotemporal heterogeneity and incorporate it into optimizing the location of substations. The optimized substation placement ensures electrical service coverage for over 99% of the area during peak power usage seasons, compared to the current coverage of 72%...”

🏭 Carbon capture more costly than switching to renewables, researchers find

「 Annual energy costs, the authors concluded, would decline by nearly 60%. Hundreds of millions of illnesses and 5 million deaths per year related to air pollution from energy—whether from woodburning cookstoves and kerosene lamps or from gas-fired power stations—would be avoided 」

Ah yes, more #FossilSubsidies. Just what we needed for the #EU budget.

«The same EU official said that one option currently under consideration in Brussels is for the EU to subsidize purchases of LNG for countries that currently rely on Russian gas, paying them any difference in price to switch to a U.S. supplier.»

Gentle reminder that generative AI has a MASSIVE carbon footprint compared to non-AI means of achieving the same results. If you're using AI "just a little , just for fun, just to see what it's about, not hurting anybody" you're HURTING THE CHANCES FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.

Please don't.

Did someone model what it would take to apply a #CarbonTax on meat and dairy, to be paid by big retailers and wholesalers and balanced by income-tested cash transfers to families?

I found a 2021 literature review by RL Pinto but it doesn't address the actual mechanics.

Germany has shown people can quickly change food habits in an #EnergyCrisis. We must do better than energy import bans and #FossilSubsidies.
