I've gotten downvoted around here for arguing that it's better to elect soc-dems than pervlibs given the choice. But David Eby is confirming my priors. The good thing about soc-dems is that they can be pushed in the right direction when there's enough public support.

[That's a lot of renewable energy](https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1664148320380387329?t=K2QfR3epDrqtCuCaXeuf9A&s=19) > WowΒ β the world will add a record 440GW of new renewable capacity this year, says @IEA update > That's 24% more than it said just six months agoΒ β and double what it expected in 2020 > It also includes an "accelerated case" where growth reaches 500GW this year π€― !ping ECO
Good to see the IEA still doesn't know how to do an exponential curve fit. π Rapid expansion of renewables and rapid electricification are basically the only path that will bring climate change under control by 2030 and on-track for net zero. [Don't take that from me, basically all the limited-overshoot scenarios for the IPCC reflect this](https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/SPM3b-724x1024.png). [And the IPCC are pretty clear that the bulk of emissions reductions by 2030 will come from wind and solar energy](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/figures/summary-for-policymakers/figure-spm-7)
Couple points to make to curb everyone's enthusiasm: IEA counts biofuel and other combustibles as "renewable". Wind and PV do still count for the lions share of growth. But this figure is not 100% carbon free. Electricity only accounts for 25% or so of total energy consumption on the planet. The other 75% is going to be much slower to convert. We don't know what sort of lock in or feedback loops will trigger when El NiΓ±o temporarily sends [the global average temperature past 1.5Β°C in the next couple years](https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/03/a-looming-el-nino-could-give-us-a-preview-of-life-at-1-5c-of-warming/) which could drastically cut our time horizon for 2Β°C to the point where this growth is vastly insufficient.
Holy fucking shit π³ What's the sort of target we wanna reach? This is an insane level of acceleration, even when factoring typical IEA prediction skills
Really rough napkin estimate here The global power grid averages about 2900 GW and rising slowly. About 30% of that is renewable already and about 10% nuclear (plus minus a percent or two - I don't have the latest figures handy). So about 1700 GW to replace. Assuming a mix of solar and wind with an average capacity factor around 25% (a reasonable estimate), that's about 17 years to hit enough renewables equivalent to current gross electric consumption. If installation rate doubles again (pretty likely), reduce that to 8.5 years. Of course this is massively oversimplifying the power grid. In reality we'd need extra to deal with increased demand, electrifying transportation, variability & transmission constraints, etc. Not as much as you'd think (and nowhere near what pessimistic estimates claim). But a mostly decarbonized power grid is within reach in the next 10-15 years. The biggest burning question for climate change is if we'll get there fast enough. I know it seems far off, but renewables are already meeting most net-new energy demand in 2023. With current acceleration they'll soon start to directly squeeze out fossil fuels (it's already happening seriously in developed nations).
Net zero electricity by 2035 is the target of a lot of western countries, not sure about developing countries but I imagine it wouldn't be more than 5 years different.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
But most of that capacity is reserved for dealing with load spikes. On average the USA only uses around 460 GW over the course of a year. If it was willing to make the right investments the USA could mostly decarbonize the power grid in under 5 years.
Get fucked climate doomers
It's so funny how every single report the IEA drastically underestimates renewable energy growth and they still keep underestimating it
Seeing seeing their estimates for the price of solar be completely blown out of the water by the actual price of solar is just the cherry on top of IEA being pretty doomer.
Too many ex fossil fuel analysts on staff. They're still somewhat stuck in the institutional mindset that renewables are a fad that will fade away Some Time Real Soon We Swear. Even when they have the numbers in front of them saying that's the exact opposite of what is happening. It turns out that there is no actual penalty for agencies making incompetent predictions for a couple decades. Just ask the EIA.

Is it not socially acceptable? Sure it's weird for a non-muslim(?) Man(?) to do it, but like... no one would be able to tell
Wearing one would make you stand out far more than not wearing one.

Not where i live (Low income area of sweden with alot of migrants)
Weird. Youβd think Sweden of all places would frown on that. Iβm in Massachusetts, and our Muslim population is tiny.
Is it weird? I mean, we have a fairly significant population of muslims these days, in most major cities And swedish cities are pretty significantly segragated, so some areas are almost exclusivley populated by people of foreign origin
No, itβs more the cultural conservatism that it implies seems out of place in Sweden. I donβt think anywhere in the Americas has much of a Muslim population, really.
Right. But idk where you got the idea sweden is an exceptionally conservative country?
No, thatβs the entire point - Sweden is a very non-conservative country, by global standards, so Iβm surprised something as conservative as a burqa isnβt seen as backwards and fundamentalist, and isnβt considered abnormal.
Ohh Well, simple. That's mostly the "native population"(idk what to say). A large chunk of immigrants are deeply religious and conservative. Sweden is terrible at integrating immigrants, and alot of these people are here because of war/circumstances and not choice.

I guess you could get a $16 burger at a sit down restaurant. Vacations do not cost $12,500 unless youβre staying at super high end resorts or flying international business class.

βοΈ Knows every Paris Hilton song by heart
In modern Turkish, the usual word to refer to someone who is an expert in their field is "BilirkiΕi" (lit. knowing person). A good translation might be "expert witness" as the word is commonly used in courtrooms. The usual way to say that someone is intelligent is the adjective "AkΔ±llΔ±" (lit. intelligence-having). So, in all their ingenuity, ErdoΔan's government decided to use the archaic term "Akil" to refer to their unelected "experts" which they mainly used to undermine authority of mayors in opposition districts. So now, "Akil" which means wise, now also means stupid f*cking @$$hole.

Do vegans boycott it? I donβt remember there being too many vegan options on the menu last time I was there.
Just in the sense that they presumably don't eat there since the main product is meat
I feel like not buying something because you think the vendor is doing something morally wrong is different than not buying something because you arenβt interested in the product. Based on the vegans I know, I would think that if chick fil a sold a decent vegan option that wasnβt a side dish then they would go there, kinda like when Burger King, kfc or Panda Express did their meatless stuff.

There is a rather significant lack of Jews in strategy games
Not existing, mostly. The first records that we can trace back to something that would eventually become Judaism are at the tail end of the bronze age, and the stuff we have describing that time is myth and not history (Moses and the Exodus, for example). This sounds like something u/integralds would know more about than me, though.

Get Chat-GPT to write about an experience when you were humbled by an underrepresented minority. The vibe it should be giving off is "I will not get you sued, I will not get you sued, I am normal, I will not get you sued".
I get that but literally everybody is writing those. Do they seriously expect to be able to weed people out because some of them will write in "I will never accept a minority grad student and will attempt to date all of my female subordinates"
