This paper from @iriepin.bsky.social and @nworbmot.bsky.social just blew my mind. Google worked with them earlier, getting them to build an open source energy model to see what getting to 100% hourly fossil-free power by 2030 in diff countries might look like. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On the means, costs, and system-level impacts of 24/7 carbon-free energy procurement

A growing number of public and private energy buyers are interested in 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) procurement, which means that every kilowatt-hour…

My latest @forbes article discusses an under-reported part of the current disruption of federal services: three edicts aimed at removing the foundations of climate-related financial risk management. www.forbes.com/sites/johnko...

Businesses And Investors Must Confront New Federal Climate Edicts

Extreme weather events are increasing in number and destructiveness. Now, due to Trump Administration edicts, additional climate-related financial risks must be managed.

A common criticism of energy system models is their reliance on single weather years, despite significant year-to-year variations. But how can we ensure robust infrastructure planning in this case? What happens during rare events like the once-a-decade Dunkelflaute? www.nature.com/articles/s41...
