“Every act of energy conservation… is more than just common sense: I tell you it is an act of patriotism”*…

But how do we best honor that admonition? The estimable Saul Griffith has observed “We need a proportional quantitative understanding of energy use, for everyone.” Now, Hannah Ritchie (Deputy Editor of Our World in Data and Senior Researcher in the Programme for Global Development at the University of Oxford) rides to the rescue with an elegant tool that compares and quantifies (in both watt-hours and usage cost, in both the U.S, and the U.K.) the energy consumption of different products and activities.

Try it: “Does that use a lot of energy?” from @hannahritchie.bsky.social. Background in her newsletter.

As we watch our wattage, we might send wild birthday greetings to Bernard Frank; he was born on this date in 1902. A conservationist, forester, and wilderness activist, he had a long, engaged career in conservation concerns, especially in the D.C. area, where he was a leader in organizing the Rock Creek Watershed Association which worked to restore and preserve the area around Rock Creek in Washington, D.C., and Maryland and in the effort that lead to the creation of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. He was honored for his work in this region with the naming of Lake Bernard Frank in Derwood, Maryland. But Frank is probably best remembered as one of the eight founding members of The Wilderness Society.

Und wenn wir wirklich etwas verändern wollen, müssen wir sehr viele Menschen an Bord holen. Wir könnten die Emissionen, Land- und Wassernutzung weitaus stärker reduzieren, wenn die Hälfte der Bevölkerung zwei Tage pro
Woche auf Fleisch verzichten würde, als wenn wir ein paar Prozent mehr Veganer hätten.

3 wahre Aussagen.

"Die Menschheit hat die nie da gewesene Chance, eine nachhaltige Welt zu schaffen. "

"It makes little sense to waste electricity to produce hydrogen — which has conversion losses — rather than directly powering an electric car or heat pump."

#Reading #NotTheEndOfTheWorld: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet by #HannahRitchie
#Auspol #NuclearPower #Climate

Hannah Ritchie is a data scientist who works on climate issues, and lead analyst at Our World in Data website which as lots of stuffs about climate, all in the public domain

tbh i don’t read a lot about climate cos a) most of it is over my head and b) as lily tomlin said, reality is the leading cause of depression amongst those in touch with it
Not the end of the world is a brilliant book on both counts, because it’s written in very accessible language, and provides a healthier perspective on all the big issues.
A related benefit is Ritchie is not a politician, billionaire or spin doctor and, so far as I can tell, can probably be trusted.

Let's go back to 2009. You're the prime minister of a low-income country, and you want to build a new power plant.
One-quarter of the population does not have access to electricity at all. Many of those that do can only afford to consume very small amounts. Hundreds of millions live in energy poverty. It's your job, as the leader, to improve the lives of the people in your country.
You have to decide which type of power plant to install.
Obviously, cost is a big factor. We're going to compare electricity sources based on a metric called the 'levelized costs of energy' (LCOE). You can think about LCOE as the answer to the question: what would be the minimum price that my customers would need to pay so that the power plant would break even over its lifetime? This includes the cost of building the plant itself, as well as the running costs for the fuel and operations.
Here are your options, and how much each will cost per unit of electricity:17, 18
* Solar photovoltaic (PV): $359
* Solar thermal: $168
* Onshore wind: $135
* Nuclear: $123
* Coal: $111
* Gas: $83

IMAGE DESCRIPTION - second text sample
In just 10 years this has changed completely. It's now 2019, and you have to make the same decision. Here are the prices
now:
* Nuclear: $155
* Solar thermal: $141
* Coal: $109
* Gas: $56
* Onshore wind: $41
* Solar photovoltaic: $40
In just a decade, solar photovoltaic and wind energy have gone from the most to the least expensive. The price of electricity from solar has declined by 89%, and the price of onshore wind has declined by 70%. They are now cheaper than coal. Leaders no longer have to make the difficult choice between climate action and providing energy for their people.
The low-carbon choice has suddenly become the economic one. It's staggering how quickly this change has happened.

Finally found some time to start reading #HannahRitchie : "I don't think we're going to be the last generation. The evidence points to the opposite. I think we could be the *first* generation [...] that leaves the environment in a better state than we found it." #ClimateOptimism #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Positivity

I saw Hannah Ritchie's book "Not The End of the World" referenced in the Just Have a Think episode a couple of weeks ago. It looks like a smart, data-driven and doommonger-free assessment of how we can build a sustainable planet, starting from where we are now.

Just noticed the e-reader version is on 24 hour sale at Amazon and Kobo for £1.99, so I've picked it up.

How to reduce bird and bat kills from wind turbines, by #HannahRitchie

- Turn off wind turbines at very low speeds when bats are around
If turbines are off at wind speeds below 6.5 m/s, bat kills are reduced by 93%.

- Also, stop wind turbines when migratory birds pass by (which is very occasionally)

- Don’t put wind farms in high-risk areas for birds and bats

- Fewer larger turbines are better than many small ones

And more!
