19:04:32 From cbarcus to JCL Meetings(Direct Message) : Over 90% of the energy driving climate change resides within the Earth’s oceans. 19:06:47 From cbarcus to JCL Meetings(Direct Message) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_heat_content 19:09:52 From cbarcus : Over 90% of the energy driving climate change resides in the Earth’s oceans (see Ocean heat content). 19:10:03 From cbarcus : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_heat_content 19:22:17 From cbarcus : As mentioned in first talk, an excellent resource on global warming at the American Institute of Physics: 19:22:21 From cbarcus : https://history.aip.org/climate/index.htm 19:24:25 From cbarcus : Utility scale solar is around twice as cost efficient compared to individual roof-top installations. 19:28:26 From cbarcus : Intermittent renewable production adds volatility to the economy. 19:32:46 From cbarcus : $66 trillion is 2/3rds of the global economy. 19:46:45 From cbarcus : Wind and solar’s low power density: https://keith.seas.harvard.edu/files/tkg/files/miller_2018_environ._res._lett._13_104008.pdf 20:07:52 From cbarcus : Great talks! 20:14:10 From cbarcus : Advanced nuclear technology will drive the capital cost of power below $1/W within the next decade or so. 20:15:05 From Cindy Jayne : https://www.climatesolutions.org/sites/default/files/2020-10/within_reach-climate_solutions_sept2018.pdf 20:16:23 From cbarcus : We will need to use excess generation for carbon removal…carbon capture becomes feasible at a very low cost of energy. 20:16:36 From Cindy Jayne : Here is the reference for WA's Clean Energy Transformation Act that commits WA to 100% clean electricity by 2045: https://www.commerce.wa.gov/growing-the-economy/energy/ceta/ 20:16:57 From Jim Rough : Here’s the link for our conception of facilitating the global “We the People” to address climate change … https://www.wisedemocracy.org/solving-climate-change.html 20:16:59 From M L F : Thank you, Cindy! 20:17:35 From cbarcus : Feedback…permafrost melting. 20:18:08 From cbarcus : Permafrost releases CO2 and CH4 20:19:52 From cbarcus : I am sorry, by ‘excess’, I meant in addition to the power we use to generate all of the goods and services we expect from civilization. 20:20:16 From cbarcus : Time is a factor…carbon extraction will need to by 24/7/365. 20:21:09 From David Blessing : I note that we have talked a lot about electricity. We need to do other things as well to eliminate CO2. We need to invest in R&D now to give us the options we need in the future. 20:26:41 From cbarcus : Sources of methane: https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/methane-or-natural-gas-the-other-major-greenhouse-gas/ 20:28:10 From cbarcus : Major safety improvements coming with advanced nuclear technology. 20:28:52 From cbarcus : Gigatons. 20:30:49 From cbarcus : See everyone next week!
