Optimizing Energy Efficiency: The Benefits of Microgrids, PPAs and CHP

Environment + Energy Leader

In the aftermath of major power outages, such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, the interest in microgrids increased significantly as a way to provide critical infrastructure and services with reliable and resilient power during emergencies.

What’s Been Killing U.S. Coal?

Legal Planet

From 1960 to 2005, coal use grew more or less steadily by 18 million tons per year. Coal began to really plunge in 2012, three years before Obama’s Clean Power Plan was issued. Employment in the East (basically Appalachia) fell before 2000, ticked up until 2012, and then resumed falling. electricity to about one-fifth today.

They then compared their candidate sources to equivalent observations of the same part of the sky from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimetres (FIRST) survey, which was also conducted by the Very Large Array between 1994 and 2005. This means that it appeared sometime between 2005 and 2017. Type IIn supernovae.

What is happening in the Atlantic Ocean to the AMOC?

Real Climate

We published an early model comparison about this in 2005. That this tipping point exists has been confirmed in numerous models since Stommel’s 1961 paper, including sophisticated 3-dimensional ocean circulation models as well as fully fledged coupled climate models. Here a quote from Liu et al. 1999; Huisman et al. 2010; Hawkins et al.
