The Missing Piece of the Renewable Energy Revolution

HumanNature

These statistics are extremely encouraging and are critical steps in the transition to a clean energy system. In 2022, the installed capacity of wind and solar power grew almost 10% in the United States [1]. In Colorado, renewable energy generating capacity has more than quadrupled since 2010 [2].

A Nobel pursuit

Real Climate

Needless to say these are big topics which have had many inputs from many scientists over the years. Hasselmann’s Statistical Insights. [I Not too shabby! But the ocean model used there was a simple ‘Q-flux’, no-dynamics, module, and so had no ENSO, or other coupled modes of variability.

Something Stinks: California Must End Manure Biomethane Accounting Gimmicks in its Low Carbon Fuel Standard

Union of Concerned Scientists

A 2021 article explains the unintended consequences as follows: The net effect will be that dairy farms with methane digesters and other green energy technologies will make decisions based more on returns from energy than returns from milk. The data question is complicated by the fact that key statistics are published only every 5 years.

The enduring mystery of the solar corona

Physics World

In fact, almost one article about the solar corona has been published per day since 1943. Astronomers have been on the hunt for nanoflares ever since he predicted them in 1988 and every so often an article pops up claiming to have detected nanoflares – thus solving the heating problem. Some might say “magnetic energy”.

A new cosmic dawn: peering across the universe with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope

Physics World

With so many topics to investigate, Mather says the hardest part for astronomers may be waiting for mission scientists to get to grips with the telescope’s quirks. Among other projects, they will provide the statistics behind efforts to measure the strength of dark energy.
