I can't believe they're still doing the wind turbine kill birds thing.

Matt Ridley@mattwridley

Oh yes, let's kill birds and bats with wind turbines, cover farmland with solar panels made with coal, and burn wood that is stolen from nature, rather than using the gas and oil that nature has no other use for.

@ModeledBehavior Is the Chrysler brand's decline worse than Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, Eagle, or Mercury? Those brands have significantly less than 120k in annual unit sales (none), and yet their parent companies are doing just fine. The focus one historic brand is not sensible.

@danielbarkeley The decline is real and undeniable

Chrysler makes 13 models of vehicles across 3 brands and sold 1.2 million vehicles last year. But by all means, keep spouting those auto industry hot takes. You're doing great, champ.

Adam Ozimek@ModeledBehavior

Big 3 is a bit of a misnomer now. Chrysler is owned by Stellantis, only makes one model of vehicle, sold 126,000 vehicles last year.

@ModeledBehavior It actually isn't noteworthy at all. Chrysler was a minor brand even under American ownership. All the profits and nearly all the volume came from Jeep and Dodge. You're just assuming Chrysler was the dominant brand pre-2008 because it's the namesake. Do some research.

@danielbarkeley It remains extremely noteworthy that Chrysler itself is down to one model, sorry if that makes you mad

@ModeledBehavior And yes, smugly spreading disinformation about the Big 3 will be met with a fair amount of pushback here in Detroit.

@danielbarkeley Yeah you’re talking about European company Stellantis which owns Chrysler. Every brand it has is not Chrysler anymore than it’s all Jeep brands. And for some reason you are doing so in a bizarrely aggressive way

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·15h

@ModeledBehavior Stellantis is a European company. Its European subsidiary is the former Chrysler Corporation - which includes Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram brands. When evaluating its size, you dishonestly included only the namesake brand's sales to pad your argument.

English

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·15h

@ModeledBehavior No - I meant what I said. Your tweet specifically referenced Chrysler in the context of its former membership in the Big 3. Chrysler in that context refers to the whole company - not the namesake brand.

@danielbarkeley You mean Stellantis, the parent company, not Chrysler

@JigarShahDC Wright also repeats the primary energy fallacy here. Wind and solar are close to 7% of total primary energy. Not 2.3% or whatever unadjusted figure he spouts.

English

Jigar Shah@JigarShahDC·16h

As if this analysis hasn’t already been done over and over and over. And each time the technology gets better and the “max” penetration goes up. Yes we need nuclear and cleanfirm but all of you are better than bad mouthing a technology that provides ~10% of US electricity.

Kumar🇺🇸@datarade

I'll make money off of @jessepeltan and @JigarShahDC evangelism of energy grid planning and tactics that have massive blowback, but this video outlines the net reality. VALCOE + LSFCOE matter more than a cursory LCOE analysis. A comprehensive lifecycle energy analysis consists of analyzing Minerals, metals, concrete, other materials, transportation, construction, operation, maintenance, safety, decommissioning, destruction, recycling, disposal, energy return on energy invested, energy payback period, financial payback period, and overall environmental effects. Have to take into consideration the dynamics of the energy grid itself and how it varies by geography. Have to think through how generators: a. synchronize voltage b. phase with the grid c. deal with energy storage

Curious what @michaelshermer and this guy's other defenders have to say about this fraudulent disinfo merchant. BTI alums too like @hausfath

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·1d

The proper was to do this calc would be to sum all the subsidies and the green premiums people pay for EVs over ICE vehicles. But even that is generous, as EVs have non-climate advantages over ICE that could also justify those subsidies/premiums.

English

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·1d

Thought this number might be bullshit. And turns out it is. Part of this is just adding up the total cost of all EVs sold in the world. Not EV subsidies. *The retail price of the cars themselves.* As if EVs have no function other than decarbonization.

Bjorn Lomborg@BjornLomborg

Climate campaigners tell you green is cheap It isn't Global green transition cost is now $14+ trillion, rising with over $2 trillion/year (2% of global GDP) 105x our spending to avoid hunger Still, CO₂ emissions set another record last year assets.bbhub.io/professional/s…

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·1d

Broadly speaking this is true, but the difference is marginal. Wind is cheaper and much less carbon-intensive than gas.

Claire Coutinho@ClaireCoutinho

Many of the staunchest climate advocates have admitted: using our own gas is better than importing dirtier gas from far away. Anyone who says otherwise is not a ‘scientist’, they’re a complete and total quack and should not be taken seriously.

@Patriot__au @JigarShahDC Recycling rates are up to 50% now in Europe. Australia trails at 5%. Not good. But not nothing.

English

brad 🇦🇺@Patriot__au·1d

@danielbarkeley @JigarShahDC Recycling means taking the recovered resources and putting them into new products. This simply is not happening.

English

Daniel Barkeley@danielbarkeley·1d

@Patriot__au @JigarShahDC It is happening. Just not at scale in Australia specifically yet.

English

brad 🇦🇺@Patriot__au·1d

@danielbarkeley @JigarShahDC It does not. That is why it is not happening.

As much as I dislike @mattwridley and his deeply dishonest campaign against renewables - he has a good point here. North Sea oil production won't make one bit of difference on petrol prices or climate change. The debate is entirely meaningless and should just go away.

Matt Ridley@mattwridley

There's not enough oil under the North Sea to affect oil prices... ...But there's enough to destroy the climate. ??

@yendor67 @stokdog Primary energy fallacy. Next.

@stokdog The only transition is to higher electricity bills.

DOE Sec Chris Wright "I think we are in the midst of the greatest malinvestment in human history." $10 trillion to fight climate change for a collective 2.6% of global energy from wind and solar and the net result, a significant increase in the price of electricity. Listen 🔊

Funny how everything this guy says is lies. Wind and solar are already above 6% of primary energy globally and growth is exploding.

Cuba does indeed have low GHG emissions due to energy poverty. But I would challenge anyone to look at this chart and conclude energy poverty is the only way to lower emissions.

Lucy Biggers@LLBiggers

It appears Cuba has reached net-zero carbon emissions faster than any other country in the world. The transition is complete with blackouts, economic collapse, and widespread despair. thefp.com/p/i-was-a-clim…
