Not for electricity generation in general in the USA over the long term. There was a small bump last year. https://ourworldindata.org/ele...

There may be some new plant proposed, there are 3 that might be built according to https://globalenergymonitor.or...

Of course unreliable energy enthusiasts can cherry pick when they crow about these stats, quietly forgetting the cold dark calm days in winter.

Comment skep sci say 2.83 mm/year, not 2 (Score 2) 72

https://skepticalscience.com/V... says up to 2010 was 2.83 mm/year, man it must have dropped a lot to get to 2 up to 2015.

So they used a fake baseline to make the current number sound scarier. If you look at the actual data it is bleeding obvious that the gradient is not twice as big after 2015. I'll leave to run the numbers, I know you won't. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.g...

Comment CO2 residence time (Score 0) 41

Previous critical analyses facing the IPCC's favored interpretation of the carbon cycle and residence time have been published, e.g., by Jaworowski et al. (1992), Segalstad (1998), Dietze (2001), Rörsch et al. (2005) or Essenhigh (2009), and more recently by Humlum et al. (2013), or Salby, 2013, Salby, 2016. Although most of these analyses are based on different observations and methods, they all derive residence times (in some cases also differentiated between turnover and adjustment times) in part several orders of magnitude shorter than specified in AR5. As a consequence of these analyses also a much smaller anthropogenic influence on the climate than propagated by the IPCC can be expected.

Comment Either the wood gets burned,, or it gets burned (Score 2) 108

Trees fall down on the road. People in high vis chop it up with chainsaws. Then they pile it up and burn it, or we take it home and let it season and then burn it. Either way whatever was in the tree ends up as smoke. I estimate about half the wood we burn is from trees that have to be removed from our driveway or the local roads.
