This article quotes you and env NGOs as fighting for this outcome:“The DRECP was a grand bargain. We gave up about 500,000 acres for solar and got millions of acres [of desert land protected] for conservation." And BTW I like DRECP... but still, easy mode looks pretty challenging!

Why dissonance? This article is about intra-state transmission lines with strong federal support, which is "easy mode" political economy. (Interstate/inter-region transmission lines threaten the mercantilist interests of states and utilities.) Even so, the process is fraught, litigious, and slow.

@hausfath.bsky.social writes "this [recent increase in temps] does not mean that the world will pass climate limits such as 1.5C sooner than expected." And the below graph backs it. But I believe the fit is based on a 20-year lookback instead of a 10-in-each-direction.

We can also use a locally linear regression (LOWESS, using a bandwidth of ~20 years) to show the long-term changes in the dataset over time. Here we see a distinct uptick in recent years compared to the roughly linear warming that characterized the 50 years after 1970:

Here're the 2018-2023 trends in a table. I was surprised at how sharp coal's drop was, and how small a part renewables played (given that renewables live in my brain rent-free all day)

My takes/synthesis on 2024-2030 trends: Maybe oil will still grow but more slowly; gas/NGL will continue to ramp quickly; renewables still in 4th place; maybe coal and nuclear will reverse trend in positive direction?
