*Renewably Generated Electricity Surpasses Coal for the First Time in 
the U.S.*
Solar and wind boosted the rise in renewables, but sadly natural gas was 
the top energy producer in the country in 2022.
By Angely Mercado
March 28, 2023
Electricity generated from renewable energy sources surpassed 
electricity created by coal for the first time ever in the U.S. in 2022, 
the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced yesterday.

Coal-fired electricity generation dropped from 23% of total generation 
in 2021 to 20% in 2022. Meanwhile, the increase in renewable electricity 
generation was led by wind and solar. Combined, generation from these 
two energy sources increased from 12% in 2021 to 14% in 2022. The share 
of electricity from other renewable sources—hydropower, biomass, and 
geothermal—did not change between 2021 and 2022...
Though less coal is great news for decreasing pollution and emissions, 
that doesn’t mean that all forms of fossil fuel-based energy saw a 
decline. Natural gas remained the largest source of electricity 
generation in the country, according to the EIA report. Energy 
production from natural gas also increased from a 37% share of U.S. 
electricity generation in 2021 to 39% last year.

Texas, a state notorious for loving fossil fuels (and suppressing 
climate science education) actually led in wind energy production last 
year. The state’s production in part boosted the renewable energy 
increase from 2021 to 2022. Texas and several other red states accounted 
for a large share of the country’s wind generation last year: Texas 
accounted for 25% of generation, Iowa 10%, and Oklahoma 9%...

*Cascade of Atmospheric Rivers Dump Rain and Snow on California, and 
even Spawned Tornadoes: 1 of 2*
Paul Beckwith
Mar 29, 2023
A while back I filmed several videos on the science of Atmospheric 
Rivers (ARs).

A whole series of ARs has formed in the Pacific Ocean, mostly near 
Hawaii, travelled across the Pacific and made landfall in California (13 
ARs so far this season hitting West coast). This has led to copious 
amounts of rainfall and flooding, and when lifted by the Sierra Nevada 
Mountains to higher elevation has dumped record amounts of snowfall, up 
to and exceeding 713 inches thus far (about 60 feet). Amazing photos 
from the mountains show ski lifts with snow so deep one can walk next to 
the pulleys and cables on the supporting ski lift pylons.

Not only that, one of the ARs last week generated enough energy to spin 
off a couple of tornadoes, namely an EF0 and an EF1, the latter hitting 
Motebello in Greater Los Angeles damaging some industrial buildings. 
Tornadoes in California are extremely rare, but the state does get about 
10 small ones per year. As the winds originating from the AR crossed the 
country, they eventually acted as the seed to some of the frontal storms 
that generated mesocyclones and supercells that led to one of the 
tornado outbreaks in the southern states.

Unfortunately, Atmospheric Rivers are expected to become more common and 
stronger from climate change, and a long duration series of atmospheric 
rivers could cause as much as $1 Trillion dollars of damage in an 
ARkStorm type event, which can have a return interval as low as even 25 
to 50 years. This would be catastrophic not only for California, but for 
the entire country and the global food supply if it wiped out 
California’s crops that are in great demand around the world.

/[ Global warming increase stresses to women  ]/
*Why the Climate Crisis is a Crisis for Women*
Extinction Rebellion UK
Mar 27, 2023  #extinctionrebellion #climatechange #globalwarming
With Helen Pankhurst, Natasha Walter, Zukiswa White, Annette X, 
Chantelle Lunt

Join us for a webinar on how the climate crisis intersects with female 
liberation. Climate change is creating particular challenges for women 
and girls. From increased poverty and food insecurity to displacement 
and violence, women are on the frontlines of the climate crisis. But the 
insights of feminism can also help us to move forward, to think about 
what we need to put in place for a more sustainable world, and how to 
build the solidarity to get there.

This event includes activists on climate justice and women's rights from 
Britain, South Africa and Uganda. It will explore how the climate crisis 
is already affecting women, and take forward the vital discussion on how 
we can work towards a more equal and greener future.

/*March 30, 2013*/
March 30, 2013: The Washington Post editorial page declares:

    "Every country in the world would benefit from the honest pricing of
    energy. The Group of Eight recognized this in its summit at Camp
    David last year, when its member countries recommitted to
    eliminating fossil-fuel supports. Yet the Obama administration has
    resisted pressing for a carbon tax, and Congress is even worse.
    Developed economies, meanwhile, can’t be the only ones to move.
    Developing nations in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America spend
    more than advanced countries do, the IMF reckons. Broadly applied
    reform would neutralize concerns that manufacturers will unduly
    suffer in countries trying to do the right thing. It would also
    result in some serious environmental benefits, reducing global
    carbon dioxide emissions by 13 percent.

    "Active U.S. leadership will be necessary. The United States must
    show that it is willing to put a charge on carbon dioxide emissions,
    so that the price of energy in the United States better reflects its
    true cost. As it does so, it will be in a stronger position to press
    others to make the obvious reforms."
