PJMs record summer peak load was set at 165,563 MW in 2006. The National Weather Service predicts hotter-than-normal summer conditions, especially in the Atlantic seaboard states. Last year, PJMs summer peak was about 152,700 MW, and 147,000 MW in 2023. MW-Day For 2025/26 Delivery Compared To $28.92/MW-Day

. — Unleashing energy efficiency’s HUGE potential. I have been advocating this since the writing of my Master’s thesis at Audencia all the way back to 2006. Any energy use entails carbon emissions, some more than others. Doing more with less is the best solution to many of our problems.

The plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging the cap-and-trade program had argued that it was not authorized by the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 and that the requirement to purchase emissions allowances constituted a tax that required approval by a two-thirds majority of the State legislature.

4] Meanwhile, many experts see in recent trends an inevitable transition away from coal and nuclear power plants, designed to function as baseload capacity, toward variable renewable energy sources with just-in-time natural gas back-up. While energy sources across all categories failed in mid-February, they didn’t all fail equally.

degree warming by the end of the century and to minimise the effects of climate change, cities need to be at net-zero carbon by 2050 (Coalitions for Urban Transition, 2019). So what needs to change: Cities of the future will need to rely less on fossil fuels and invest in renewable energies. link] (19)30215-3.pdf.

I further argue that, if we continue to develop in these ways, deaths from natural disasters will continue to decline, food surpluses will continue to rise, and global carbon emissions will likely peak and decline soon, preventing temperatures from rising more than three degrees centigrade over pre-industrial levels. Ehrlich agreed. “In
