Sometimes it feels like nothing is changing: as if we’re climbing the tallest mountain in the world, and the summit is no closer than when we started. But if we stop for a minute and turn around and look back, we can see how far we’ve actually come. Progress is happening, step by step.

while this is encouraging, fossil fuel consumption has actually gone up in Colorado by 30% over this period in absolute terms, as part of CO's 60% increase in energy consumption....

the vagueness of the alt text defeats the purpose (spreading the information in the pic to those who cant see it)

I don't think I've understood this, but how is natural gas that much better than coal? They're both fossil fuels. Is it the extra soot?

FYI every week I share good news, not so good news, and something we can do about the climate crisis on Substack here: www.talkingclimate.ca and via email at www.katharinehayhoe.com as well as on my Talking Climate IG and Threads accounts. Because we need all the balanced news we can get these days!

Yeah there’s been real progress here. Not enough or fast enough, but it’s very easy to imagine a world where the last ten years involved no progress whatsoever, so

That's it :) Here some energy charts germany. Also 2001 and 2023. Far more complicated - but to show easy look at the right side of it. :) The red section is nuclear power - ending in 2023. In 2024 there will be no more in it.

Not exactly impressed by the carbon intensity in PsCo, as they struggle to get <500g/kwh, peaking intensity in 2018 at 767g/kwh and peak total emissions as late as 2021 at 21MtCO2. Takes quite a bit more to get me optimistic.

If wind & solar begin to approach intermittent grid saturation, then retrofit that hydrocapacity for pumped storage & put a LOT of "peaker" gas turbines out of business. Those are the least efficient, most emitting and they're used with intermittent renewables and poor storage 'cause they start fast

We started in 2004 when Mark Udall and the Republican Speaker of the House Lola Spradley ran the first renewable portfolio standard ballot initiative in the country. The initial goal was 10% by 2015, which we achieved. The percentage has been raised several times. We have almost no coal plants left.

Super cool! We have about a 100+ really large wind turbines just a few miles down the road from us here(Wisconsin). Started out with a dozen and they just keep growing, basically a wind farm.
