The real questions for clean firm resources needs to be whether operation with daily ramps is feasible and at what cost. No-one has ever been able to give me a convincing explanation of how CCS can work for the actual use case for CCGT or CTs in renewables heavy grids.

ā€œThere is just $289 million in grants, with half earmarked for technical assistance—funding for experts, consultants and advisors to model and support the energy transition.ā€ I’m sorry WHAT

OakDOT The problem with DOTs is when they are designing for 3-ton steel cars they do things in concrete and asphalt and when the are designing to protect people from cars they do things in tweets and video. Videos and signs do not protect people from cars. Concrete and steel do.

UniversitySystemofGA In Georgia, more than a quarter plan to interview in the coming year. More than 15% said they interviewed elsewhere since 2021. Several states, especially in the Southeast, were listed. The top locations for Georgia faculty were Massachusetts, California, and North Carolina. 9/x

I’m not in this survey because I left Georgia, but this is a big reason I left Georgia. A tragic, tragic attack on deeply important institutions.

New: An analysis published by the Department of Energy found that Project Tundra, a major coal carbon capture project, would emit more greenhouse gases than it stores. If that's true, why is DOE proposing to fund the project? energyandpolicy.org/department-of-…

Joe's post shows this CCS project on a coal plant is expected to cost $1.94 billion -- for pollution controls on a 50-year-old, 680 MW plant. That's $2.85/Watt, without the power plant part. Notably, my paper with Frances Sawyer estimated $1.87b. Big thanks to Joe for this.

What’s crazy to me about this is that Minnkota serves a bunch of rural coops that together have about 152,000 customers. That implies that this project will have an overnight cost of $12,500 per customer. If it stays on budget. Ask MS Power ratepayers about that.
