The PA Coal Alliance said, “In February of 2014, during a cold snap, PJM found that 23% of total generator outages were due to interruptions of natural gas supply, and in January of 2018, during the polar vortex, half of the total PJM natural gas capacity was not available to supply peak demand.” Read more here.

And this problem will only get worse as the impacts of climate change become more frequent and severe. While it’s clear we need to rapidly reduce gas generation to help limit the worst impacts of climate change, it’s less clear how much fossil gas capacity we actually need to maintain reliability in a future decarbonized grid.

Western Grid Regionalization Is Back on the Drawing Board. Why Now?

Another reliability benefit of grid regionalization is that a western RTO would be much better positioned to coordinate the response to extreme weather conditions, which are becoming much more frequent as the West increasingly feels the impacts of climate change. The list goes on, but you get the point.

A similar recent case is the gain-of-function research on viruses with human pandemic potential that was subject to a funding moratorium between 2014 and 2017 – although this was controversial, because the same research may help develop vaccines or treatments. These other responses may fall short, shifting more risk to climate-change impacts.

In general, environmental data are organized according to media, such as air or groundwater, analytical fraction, such as VOCs, and sampling round, such as 2014 data. The biggest limitation by far is climate change, but that's beyond the scope of this talk. Soil data are probably least sensitive to time.

That has changed, but the relationship with Russia is still only at the top of the second-tier priority list. Russia considers itself to be in a much stronger position today than in 2014 when the US imposed sanctions over its involvement in Crimea. It isn’t considered a first-tier priority. For Moscow, that probably suits equally well.
