Those 133 power plants are no doubt a small number of large CCS plants (200-500MW) and a large number of local peakers (10-50MW.)  Let's take a 10/90 split.  That means 25 gigawatts of new gas plants.  Gas plants have a 95% availability, so that's 24 gigawatts average.

And over the five years starting in 2022, the US will add 250 gigawatts of solar.  With the 25% availability of utility solar, that's 83 gigawatts average.

So solar installs are over THREE TIMES the energy of natural gas plants being installed.

The age of fossil fuels is over.  They can't come close to keeping up with renewables.

As always, sorry about the facts.

That's until the fossil fuel guys hire me to defend the interests of Gopherus Agassizii whom are being defiled and forced into extinction by your desert solar environment erasers. I can tell you that my clients won't be hiding in their shells hoping for relief when I'm representing their interests.

.... investors 'plan to add' 133 new natural gas-fired power plants to the nation's grid, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data.

 

they 'plan' to add, I asked you how much has been built.

Chart: Nearly all new US power plants built in 2024… | Canary Media - renewables are in fact keeping up and they are building more of it, so eventually it actually will keep up.

I actually work in the industry of gas turbine power generation and fuck all is being built and the infrastructure that we do have is not in good condition, barring some well run public utility sites that have mandated performance requirements. (grid is bad shape mostly because it is owned by investment bankers bent on making money vs. generating power)

Bottom line, even with multiple vaccines available More folks died of COVID during the Biden administration than the Trump administration.

Again, have you insufficient mental faculties to understand the CDC data? I’m not Bashing Biden the numbers are.

You’re really flailing now! How is it that you think I know you’re lying? I didn’t just guess.

Do you have the ability to understand the difference between ten months and three and a half years? How deep into the MAGA cult are you that you have to pretend you don’t?

I am not talking about opinions,I am talking about facts. More folks died from COVID during the Biden administration than during the Trump administration. FACT! 

That’s another LIE. You didn’t just say more folks died from Covid during Biden’s administration. You said more than a million died during Biden’s administration, more than double the toll during Trumps. That’s not a fact. That’s a LIE. 
 

Why don’t you use facts? Why do you keep spouting lies?

My post was in response to tkhays claim that more people died of COVID during the Trump Administration. I said that was factually incorrect and I backed it up with data. If your brain is so rotted by TDS (Trump Deranged Syndrome) that you can’t see that, I can’t help you.

Then why is natural gas consumption rising and why are we building coal plants? Not to mention what is going on in China and India.

I can’t see that because it’s not true. TK did not say that in the post you responded to. That’s a lie, to cover up a lie, about a lie over covid deaths, all so that you can continue to with your blind admiration for Trump instead of having to face the real world.

Why did you feel the need to lie about Covid deaths under Biden? Obviously because you know the reality doesn’t make him look bad. Why do you feel the need to continuously lie about the economy under Biden in so many different ways? Because you know the reality doesn’t make him look bad. But you have to keep trying because your blind loyalty to the right is impervious to any facts.

Biden doesn’t need anything help from me in the looking bad department, he has that base covered.

And yet you can’t face reality. You have to keep pretending that the land of far right make believe is the real world.

It must really suck for you to hate the fact that your own country is actually doing well.

I never said that.  I said one million Americans died and trump did a horrible job of managing a pandemic, that the USA had worse outcomes than other first world countries

Because there’s a war in Ukraine, the Russian gas supply has been impeded by trade sanctions, etc., and there’s 8 billion people on the planet, double the number that there was 50 years ago, more human beings, more development in undeveloped countries, more demand for energy of all types… Try and keep up
 

Who is building coal plants? Provide a link…

6 hours with no response from Brent. According to Brent, that means you've destroyed him with facts ; )

Just talked to a friend who lives near the Gulf a little north of Tampa.  They are raising everything in their house, they expect it to flood.  They finally got the approval to have their house raised which will happen next year.

I talked to my friend last night. their house got flooded.  4 feet of water, water also coming in the windows. They lost about 90% of their belongings.  Fortunately they moved their cars to higher ground.  They recently received approval to have their house raised, work to start in January 2025.  I guess it was a little too late.

Hurricane Helene made landfall overnight. It was listed as a Category 4 storm when it hit.

From Heather Cox Richardson:
 

Quote

Officials from NOAA, the scientific and regulatory agency that forecasts weather and monitors conditions in the oceans and skies, predict that record-warm ocean temperatures this year will produce more storms than usual. NOAA hurricane scientist Jeff Masters noted that Helene’s landfall “gives the U.S. a record eight Cat 4 or Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane landfalls in the past eight years (2017–2024), seven of them being continental U.S. landfalls. That’s as many Cat 4 and 5 landfalls as occurred in the prior 57 years.”

But, yeah, AGW isn't real, the stats are faked and the idea that storms are becoming more powerful or more frequent is a lie.

Suuuuuuure.

But it is not word for word the exact prediction made by the climate alarmist scientific community. Therefore the prediction does not agree with observation.

Society is not willing or prepared to take the steps necessary to slow or reverse the effects of climate change/global warming.  Even if they do, it will take a long time to slow it down or reverse it especially with world population increasing and the natural warming cycle. It is time to start building on higher ground.  All coastal cities can't be like New Orleans with dikes and pumps. 

What were Native Americans thinking 12,000 years ago when the ice was melting.

Well, there it is right? If folks want to build and live in a hurricane zone, any flood plains, on fault lines or, as I prefer, downwind from a volcano great. Just don't come to the taxpayers with your hand out when what was obviously going to happen, happens, and don't be surprised if your property is deemed uninsurable by some dude in a cubicle somewhere.

ONCE AGAIN, waiting for your retraction - I did not say any such thing, and if you are going to quote me, I expect you to actually "quote" me

Once again, I will ride you until you either retract or apologize.

I just read an article in the Babylon Bee that a climate change expert said that he was shocked that a hurricane developed in hurricane alley during hurricane season. He says that in the last two months he has never witnessed such extreme weather.
