Nice to hear @tracyalloway state our disciplinary slogan on this great episode: "Geography still matters!" 🌎🌐🌍

NEW ODD LOTS; The “strategy trap” of Trump’s war in Iran. @tracyalloway and I talk to the one and only @gbrew24 about the ongoing and worsening energy disaster and why the US can’t easily find an off-ramp open.spotify.com/episode/7reFgx…

@70sBachchan In 2006, George W Bush said we have a "serious problem...America is addicted to oil."
The US answer to this addiction was the shale revolution: Produce more!
China's was to electrify transport and peak their oil demand (now presumably going down).

looking at now versus the giant run up of oil prices after US 2003 Iraq invasion really makes you wonder if the Chinese made all their electrotech industrial policy decisions as an energy autonomy strategy way back then.
is there anything written on this????

Allison Ziogas is a populist IBEW union electrician running for Congress on Staten Island in NYC. Currently she works on labor relations for offshore wind developer Orsted and helped negotiate a PLA with NABTU.
'In an interview, the candidate framed her work for the company as a matter of ensuring good-paying union jobs and “energy independence,” she said, not fighting climate change.'

China has managed to control rising costs for building nuclear plants, unlike most countries. How?
"Indigenization—i.e., building a domestic supply chain and skilled workforce—has been key to China’s ability to avoid cost escalation."

@sandeepvaheesan Your book advocates massive overhauls of the entire electricity governance system toward public power. So clearly you think big transformations are possible. So supply chains and labor force development should also not be unimaginable.
English
Predictions of a nuclear renaissance in the U.S. would be more credible with a national commitment to building the necessary supply chains and labor forces. Without that, we should expect more outcomes like Vogtle (7 year delay, $15 bil over cost) and VC Summers (abandoned).

The chemical industry simply can’t turn plants off and on again, the design basis is to run at high utilization to make even a breakeven return.

How do you deploy gigawatts of distributed batteries across the US grid?
Nobody actually knows yet.
@XcelEnergy and @sparkfunder are running one of the most interesting experiments to find out.

@DougHenwood @Matthuber78 Cool, I did not know this - yet another reason to continue to listen to Behind the News (one of my top 5 pods)!

There is a lot to worry about with climate change, but "runaway" feedbacks are not one of them. Good piece by Andrew Dessler over at The Climate Brink on how climate feedbacks work and why the Earth is different from Venus: #footnote-1-190165223" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theclimatebrink.com/p/dont-panic-a…

@DougHenwood I know! I was sharing to affirm your previous criticism of Germany.

@DougHenwood 💯 This was my other tweet on it. France's response to the 1970s energy crisis was pretty, pretty good! x.com/Matthuber78/st…
Matt Huber@Matthuber78
Spain is a unique example. Most of the rest of Europe is very overcast w/ harsh winters. Solar/batteries will not work alone (typically need 'insecure' gas backup!). Another smart (& far more reliable) "energy security" response to the last energy price shock (1970s): France.

@Matthuber78 They also foolishly shut their nuclear plants. That aside this war underscores the need to transition away from carbon ASAP

Amory Lovins is also a staunch neoliberal (and yet environmental leftists still seem to love him).

This is the syllabus for a seminar on Grundrisse I’m currently in
Dialectical Zach-Zack Loeffler@thezachloeffler
I haven’t taught a grad seminar in a long time—do people still assign this much reading and a 20-page seminar paper? I don’t really know how I ever read 500 pages a week and wrote three or four 20-page papers at the end of the quarter in a few days.
