The permanent solution to energy pricing security is renewables. That is why the greed-heads are desperate. DESPERATE!!!!! To stop it. There will be no commodity market or futures market speculating on these prices. Do you get it? Nobody is going to make $500million betting on the futures market of wind based on insider information from whoever. Same with solar, geothermal, and tidal/hydro.

    @Okanogen@mastodon.social Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle, in that order.

    @Okanogen@mastodon.social And now you know why they're fighting so hard to stop it.

    @Okanogen@mastodon.social maybe that ist why they fight climate science. If there are no forecasts, you could speculate on sunshine hours and wind speeds.

    @Okanogen@mastodon.social Instead of volume, the focus must be on stability and predictability. (e.g every new solar park must come with a battery). Grids must be modernized with better interconnects. Commercial as well as home(!) usage must be monitored by grid operators to react faster. Better long term storage solutions (days instead of hours) must be funded. I'm not against renewables and I'm not for more home surveillance, but it's also not as simple as solar/wind/hydro good, natgas/coal/oil/nuclear bad.

    @Okanogen@mastodon.social I'm guessing there will still be plenty of money to be made on mining futures. cc @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green

  • @Okanogen@mastodon.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I submit that there are plenty of ways to make money from a clean power gird. Have slightly better wind speed forecasts or cloud models. Make money. Know which dam will need to be rebuilt. Make money. Or whatever. But that is different from existing fossil fuel power / heating / fuel systems. And so the people who make money from those act to keep them going; hurting everyone.
