Surpasses Coal for the First Time in the U.S.</b><br>
Solar and wind boosted the rise in renewables, but sadly natural
gas was the top energy producer in the country in 2022.<br>
By Angely Mercado<br>
March 28, 2023<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">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.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">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...</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">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.<br>
<br>
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%...</font><br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>Cascade of Atmospheric Rivers Dump Rain and
Snow on California, and even Spawned Tornadoes: 1 of 2</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Mar 29, 2023<br>
A while back I filmed several videos on the science of Atmospheric
Rivers (ARs). <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<b>Why the Climate Crisis is a Crisis for Women</b><br>
Extinction Rebellion UK<br>
Mar 27, 2023 #extinctionrebellion #climatechange #globalwarming<br>
With Helen Pankhurst, Natasha Walter, Zukiswa White, Annette X,
Chantelle Lunt<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<i>[The news archive - looking back]</i><br>
<font size="+2"><i><b>March 30, 2013</b></i></font> <br>
March 30, 2013: The Washington Post editorial page declares:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri"> "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.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> "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."</font><br>
