The declaration says the countries recognise the need for a tripling of nuclear energy capacity to achieve "global net-zero greenhouse gas/carbon neutrality by or around mid-century and in keeping a 1.5 degrees celsius limit on temperature rise within reach".

And that is what climatologists have completely overlooked. They have noted that the mean surface temperature is far hotter than the solar radiation to the surface, or even just to regions above in the troposphere, could explain in accord with the Stefan-Boltzmann Law.

The United States is entering a period of severely constrained electric supply. Demand is rising — including anticipated electric load from artificial intelligence, the need to shutter all coal facilities, and the limits to transmission from the renewable resources (wind and sun) 0f the West — and it will overwhelm the system unless it is substantially augmented with new generation.

The goal of global net zero carbon emissions can only be reached by 2050 with swift, sustained and significant investment in nuclear energy. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change see nuclear as important part of the solution to climate change and energy insecurity.

Brent climbed 1 cents to $77.21 a barrel, WTI were down 4 cents at $72.28 a barrel.

Россия, Саудовская Аравия и другие взявшие на себя обязательства по добровольному сокращению добычи нефти страны – участницы соглашения выполняют свои договорённости в рамках ОПЕК+ в полном объёме.

These additional voluntary cuts are announced by the following OPEC+ countries : Saudi Arabia (1,000 thousand b/d); Iraq (223 thousand b/d); United Arab Emirates (163 thousand b/d); Kuwait (135 thousand b/d); Kazakhstan (82 thousand b/d); Algeria (51 thousand b/d); and Oman (42 thousand b/d) starting 1st of January until the end of March 2024.

Россия углубит дополнительное добровольное сокращение поставок нефти на 300 тыс. баррелей в день ещё на 200 тыс. баррелей в день, чтобы достичь 500 тыс. баррелей в день, и продлит это добровольное сокращение поставок до конца I квартала 2024 года в координации с некоторыми странами ОПЕК+.

It is actually downward convective heat which can and does proceed from cooler to warmer regions but can only do so because the Loschmidt Gravito-thermal effect exists and is the state of maximum entropy or, as physicists call it, thermodynamic equilibrium.

Extreme weather events,food supply disruption add urgency to energy transition.Panama Canal drought has effectively reduced carrying capacity due to climate change. Green deal creating incentives on critical minerals.

There are currently $242bn of funds in the UK marketed as “sustainable”, according to data provider Morningstar Direct, compared with $290bn in the US and nearly $2tn in the rest of Europe.

When Congress passed the IIJA in 2021, it authorized $1.2 trillion in spending over five years for the country’s critical infrastructure - transportation, energy- broadband, water, technology, healthcare, education and more. Currently, it is estimated that between $345 billion and $400 billion has been disbursed to date.

“Right now, we have 22.8 GW of renewable energy projects under different stages of development; 2.8 GW will be operational before the end of the year,” Muneef Al-Muneef, general director of renewable energy policies at the Saudi Ministry of Energy.
