18:37:06	 From  cbarcus : Fast carbon cycle
18:50:35	 From  cbarcus : 7.2 ft = 2.2 m
18:57:20	 From  cbarcus : wind drives wave formation
18:59:02	 From  Cindy Jayne : Local 20/20 has been monitoring and taking photos of king tides locally. You can see more at https://l2020.org/climate-action, and see a photo on that page. Low atmospheric pressure along with storm surge can add to the impact.
19:08:34	 From  cbarcus : fu-ku-shi-ma…even emphasis
19:09:54	 From  Krestine Reed : Sharing because this came up last week Jan 19, 2022 - Auto Trader, the UK’s largest automotive marketplace for buying and selling new and used cars, published a video about the carbon footprint for EV vs ICE autos. In the short term, the video and the referenced Volvo report suggests electric vehicles may not be as green as their internal combustion engine counterparts. A link to the 2022 Volvo report is included in the video info.

19:12:33	 From  cbarcus : deep offshore wind has very poor inherent economics
19:17:09	 From  Krestine Reed : Mushroom clouds a.k.a. propaganda
19:18:11	 From  David Blessing : My slides on pros and cons from nuclear will be posted on the library site.
19:18:53	 From  cbarcus : mercury pollution from fossil combustion and mining
19:19:07	 From  JJ : Do we have enough time to build these though?
19:20:48	 From  cbarcus : The advanced nuclear industry is going to be very different from what we have experienced with conventional light water reactors. This technology will be designed to scale very rapidly.
19:21:27	 From  Krestine Reed : https://www.goodenergycollective.org/policy/microreactors-for-microgrids
19:37:36	 From  Krestine Reed : France has the largest share of nuclear electricity in the world, and together with renewable energy supplies, this has helped its grid achieve very low carbon intensity. Nuclear power, which accounted for 71.7% of total production in past years. Since the ’70 France has had 56 nuclear plants - not one mushroom cloud.
19:38:17	 From  cbarcus : France’s high nuclear electric grid is one of the Wonders of the Modern World.
19:44:22	 From  cbarcus : Fast carbon cycle can be seen from OCO-2 data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP7DC6jY40A
19:46:35	 From  cbarcus : Excellent graph of radiation exposure!
19:49:59	 From  Gary Nelson : cindy, please send me your email address
19:52:03	 From  JJ : Going vegan and not flying are the two easiest, fastest, and cheapest things that everyone can do, but no one talks about it.
19:52:17	 From  cbarcus : Medical advances and artificial intelligence (robots) for taking care of the elderly.
19:53:20	 From  cbarcus : We do not want to boycott air travel! Better to first move to carbon-neutral fuels, and then decarbonize air travel with hydrogen.
19:54:07	 From  JJ : Takes too long. We need to act now, not wait for fuels to change.
19:54:38	 From  cbarcus : Air travel will see some advancements: quiet supersonic travel, hypersonic travel, long distance blended wing-body hydrogen airliner
19:55:57	 From  cbarcus : J: lots of technology is in play here, and changes will happen faster than you expect, but the transition will not be linear.
19:58:33	 From  staff : Further local involvement opportunities: Climate on Tap @ FinnRiver March 2nd 7 - 8:30
19:58:38	 From  Krestine Reed : I encourage you to submit public comment and ask your JefCo PUD Commissioners and staff to support SHB 1814 - Expanding equitable access to the benefits of renewable energy through community solar projects.

19:58:53	 From  staff : Get involved with Local 2020 groups
19:59:48	 From  Cindy Jayne : Note that the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County have a joint Climate Action Committee, which has done a variety of modeling recently.  https://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/637/Climate-Action-Committee
20:00:36	 From  JJ : Your presentations were fantastic! Thank you.
20:01:42	 From  cbarcus : A huge thank you to the Jefferson County Library.
20:06:10	 From  cbarcus : We are really fortunate here in the Pacific NW because our emissions are so low.
20:06:23	 From  Cindy Jayne : For local projections on climate change, for the North Olympic peninsula, see https://www.noprcd.org/climate-change-report
20:10:45	 From  cbarcus : Important to be aware fo Jevon’s Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox#:~:text=In%20economics%2C%20the%20Jevons%20paradox,rises%20due%20to%20increasing%20demand.
20:11:06	 From  cbarcus : You are welcome lol..
20:11:19	 From  JJ : Yes, we need to do things not just for our wallets, but for the future of our earth.
20:14:17	 From  JJ : cows are responsible for 40% of methane
20:15:09	 From  Krestine Reed : In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the rate of consumption of that resource rises due to increasing demand.
20:21:50	 From  JJ : if we can't grow, we need to conserve
20:22:39	 From  cbarcus : Think of the capital flows involved with the fossil fuel industry…that will turn into capital flows for nuclear power and its products.
20:23:35	 From  cbarcus : Short payback periods, high availability, and very high energy return will drive the economics of advanced nuclear.
20:23:44	 From  JJ : solar on existing structure, not land
20:24:07	 From  cbarcus : J: utility scale solar is twice as cost effective.
20:24:41	 From  Judith Rudolph : I’m planting trees - and talking up heat pumps!  Mine is a huge money saver.
20:24:49	 From  cbarcus : Mass nuclear desalination, vertical farming.
20:27:41	 From  JJ : I haven't bought gas in almost 8 years by plugging into my solar roof, so it helps in that way
20:27:54	 From  cbarcus : Yeah, the Olympic Peninsula should have its own power station.
20:29:02	 From  cbarcus : PV is best for a southern exposure, low cloud cover; not really that important in Washington state IMHO.
20:29:28	 From  user : Thank you all – fabulous presentations!
20:29:50	 From  cbarcus : Thanks everyone!
20:29:55	 From  Local   to   JCL Meetings(Direct Message) : Off topic did Great Decisions get cancelled
