There is nothing transitory about this inflation run.

Dr. Curry has a post regarding a presentation she was invited to deliver in New Jersey concerning their panic to commit suicide. Given NJ’s current mix of energy sources, they better be paying attention to her sound advice…but… judithcurry.com/2021/10/22/challenges-of-the-clean-energy-transition/#more-27944“New Jersey has a pretty good mix of electricity generation sources: 57.2% natural gas, 37.4% nuclear, 1.6% solar, 1.5% coal, 1.1% biomass, 0.9% non-biogenic waste, and 0.1% hydroelectric &p. New Jersey’s renewable portfolio standard was updated in 2018 to require that 21% of electricity be from renewable sources by 2021, 35% by 2025, and 50% by 2030.” |

Compared to the rest of the world we should be able to crank up production pretty fast. We have vast reserves in shale plays from N.D. to Texas and all through the Rockies. Unfortunately it will take months if not years to really crank up. Over the last decade or so the oilfield has seen so many recessions from suppressed crude prices that many of the people (myself included) got out of the industry for good. In addition all but the best most modern rigs were mothballed in the pursuit of ever increasing efficiency. It's going to take time and money to lure people back into the patch and even more time to recommission idled rigs that have been rusting away. |

I'm more concerned about simply running out of fossil fuels altogether. There is after all a finite supply. I think that is more dire for humanity than the CO2, the release of which might have some unintended consequences but global warming apparently not particularly being one of them. When energy prices begin creeping up...
Think of a tree, which took 85 years to grow, then the carbon is released in a fire in 25 minutes.

I don't think that is a realistic scenario. About 20% of our electrical generation still comes from coal and with energy prices spiking President Biden is not going to rock the boat. He has much, much bigger problems to deal with. |
