Wind capacity steadily increases, mostly due to policy (the federal tax credit, which expires in 2024, and state RPS policies). These low gas prices play an interesting role in the US and world energy markets. Transformative change to our energy system is needed if we are to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

So, China plays an outsized and even paradoxical role in deploying clean energy technologies to address the climate crisis. Joanna Lewis’ recent book, “Cooperating for the Climate” does that by examining the motivations, science, and politics behind international clean energy technology collaboration with China.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (left) visits a hybrid power plant where “green” hydrogen is made using wind power and fed into the gas grid. Germany is not doing all it can to cut back energy use and increase economic pressure on Russia, argues Arne Jungjohann. Photo credit: Fabian Sommer / Alamy. By Arne Jungjohann.

Consider this: “If you make donuts, anything you make has to do—and when they ended our energy, we were energy-independent. And who “ended our energy”? Joe Biden with his clean energy policies. Then we’re going to be energy-dominant.” Think of this.”

The 2024 initial phase will apply only to new commercial buildings over 100,000 square feet. In addition, the Energy Commission adopted a new “virtual power plant” rule, allowing consumer-owned batteries to be aggregated and treated as power plants when they deliver power to the wholesale electricity market.

He also said that the Inflation Reduction Act would worsen inflation, harm economic growth, drive up energy costs for consumers, and make the energy system less reliable. But, he says, “we’re not yet at the point innovation-wise where we can rely mostly on intermittent, renewable sources to power electric grids.”
