The problem is that China is also currently building(as in under active construction) nearly four times more coal power plants then the rest of the world combined. Battery storage is supposed to lessen the need for fossil fuels like coal. So battery storage build out is not strong enough or we need to lower electricity consumption.

I want the world to burn less coal and the higher coal prices mean that some companies will increase coal production.

Exactly, which is why China is so important. If they even have a fairly small drop in coal consumption, that basically kills US coal exports and therefore the US coal industry.

The total coal exports of the US are like 2% of Chinas coal consumption and the volume of US coal mining is about 10% of what China consumes. It really does not take much to kill that market.

Currently China makes up more then half of global consumption. So if they have a fast decline, that can completely destroy the global coal market.

The US mined 410Mt of coal last year, which is obviously not all exported. There are a few countries, which buy coal in meaningful amounts, that such a terminal could make sense. However the largest potential importer is China and that is falling.

Shouldn’t that be GWh? No, grid connections are measured in GW. Anyway, that’s peanuts if you want to rely purely on renewables. These batteries usually are planned to have two hours of storage. Some more some less. So 158GWh would be enough to power Germany through sunny, but windless days. 1440GWh are more then a days worth of electricity consumption of Germany. Again there are no days with absolutely no wind and solar and Germany needs more of them to even charge those batteries up anyway. So it is on the lower end of what is needed to run a country like Germany without fossil fuels. At that point you can talk about some weird forms of storage like hydrogen or use a bit of biomass or something like that. You might even get away with carbon capture and storage, because the amount of fossil fuels needed for that grid are so low.

Last year there were 78GW of battery grid connections approved in Germany. That is with 720GW pending for approval. So safe to say that segment is growing quickly. Add to that trade with other countries. Europe is large enough, that the weather is very different across the continent. Oh and also, there always is some wind at least. The worse week last year was at 12.8% of electricity consumption from wind and average is 28%. That week also had pretty good solar.

The invasion of Ukraine forced Europe to lower fossil fuel consumption and now Ukraine is also destroying a lot of fossil fuel infrastructure in Russia. Even the destruction of the Kakhovka dam seems to turn out rather wild ecosystem. The Baltic countries are also recreating massive wetlands on the border to Russia.

District heating allows a city to use industrial waste heat, from factories or data centres. It is also a lot easier to add storage in form of large insulated water tanks to the system. At that point you can add thermal solar to the mix and also just fairly simple large boilers(those are pretty close to 100% efficient and a lot cheaper then heat pumps). As for geothermal, that too is an option in quite a few parts of Germany, if you go deep enough: Also obviously large heat pumps are always an option as well.

The issue is that landlords do not care about operating costs. So as long as it is possible to install cheaper gas boilers then heat pumps, they will do it.

The US still makes steel for example. It fell compared to the 1960s, but is still at about WW2 levels. That is true for a lot of US manufacturing. The industry is still around, but has not grown since years and automation and falling prices makes them less relevant to the overall economy.

The US actually does do that. The issue is that shipping companies do not actually want to risk the life of their crews.

I would have thought somebody would have offered a life chaning sum to some sailors for the journey. That is entirly possible since oil is above $100 barrel and a very large crude carrier can transport 2million barrels of oil or so. So even with a crew of 30, you can still pay everybody a million for the risk and make insane profit, since oil is nearly free inside the Gulf.

Back in the day it was a lot harder to move. People obviously did, but your great grandparents are about 80 years older then you. If you are are 40, then they might have been born in a time without planes and cars being pretty rarer. If you wanted to cross an ocean you took an ocean liner and most land travel was done on trains. Even those only became really big in the 1850s in many places in the Western world. Sure people moved, but it was somewhat rarer and a massive decision. Seriously it is kind of crazy, but in Florenz the richest families using their surename are basically the same as 600years ago. Also when 1 out of 16 did make a big move, then you still got a quite long history in that place.

The issue is that LNG coming from Qatar is blocked. So if countries go back to coal, it would be replacing LNG, which is about as dirty as coal anyway. Great that it does not happen, but still worth a thought.

There are something like 100k Israelis who are still alive and survived the Holocaust. That is mostly just due to the Holocaust ending over 80years ago and people die of old age.

Honestly I dislike the constant Holocaust comparisons. They play into Israeli propaganda, as the connection between Israel and Jews is very obvious and Jews were the victims of the Holocaust. That makes Israel look like a victim just defending itself.

Putin managed to do something similar before. The issue is that high fossil fuel prices also mean massive profits for fossil fuel companies. Since green technologies take time to deploy, this means fossil fuel companies have a lot of money for corruption. The good news is that there are tipping points. Things like fossil fuel jobs are cut and companies leave countries. For example the UK has no longer coal power plants. So the coal lobby is going to be extremely weak in the UK.

>Yeah I’m saying it’s the opposite, the green country is outsourcing dirty work to the dirty country Then the Green countries emissions increase for any import from the Black country, when you adjust for trade. The issue is that it is any import and not just dirty outsourced ones. Say the Green country sells a 1000 chairs to the Black one and the Black country also sells a 1000 chairs to the Green one. Then you still have an increase in emissions, when you adjust for trade, in the Green country and falling emissions in the Black one. I certainly would not call that outsourcing emissions, as both countries could have just kept their chairs. This sort of trade happens all the time in the real world. You for example can buy German cars in Japan and Japanese cars in Germany. This is how a net goods exporter like the EU, can have an increase in trade adjusted emissions.
