Keep our fingers crossed, I am hoping for a calm season for 2022.Roger Pielke Jr.

The irony will be when Exxon, or Shell, Or BP, will start producing carbon neutral fuels, and cut emissions globally by 1/3,Hey, that's great news. We could use a few seasons without billion$ in damages.

Biased reporting !!??Ooooh goody. Some more biased reporting from lw pbs.!!
how's that solar roof coming along?Biased reporting !!??
Facts are facts. They interview the actual people responsible for deliberately generating a false narrative on global warming - people on the payroll of Exxon, and the American Petroleum institute. In other words, you get to see and hear, right from the horses mouths, the deliberate misinformation and misleading propaganda flooding the public airwaves, and see first hand how the lobbyists bought our elected representatives so they would crush vital legislation, all for the profit of big oil, and all at the expense of human life on the planet.
But I would never actually expect you to sit and listen to the people who made a fossil fool out of you. That would be too much to expect of any conservative.
That's why we expect you to give us a time index for something relevant.Biased reporting !!??

Which one? Solar is has been the fastest growing industry over the past decade, growing 5 times faster than overall job growth rate in the US economy.how's that solar roof coming along?
Even better. No car since 2010. But since you asked, another spectacular industry growing in leaps and bounds, with new models and new manufacturers appearing faster than I can keep up.Electric car?

There's nothing leftist about it . . . . . . unless you are relegating "the right" to the ranks of uninformed idiocy ~ a bold move for someone who defines themselves as Libertarian - Right.Until then, it's just more leftist propaganda.
From your own experience? Are there many of those in your circle of friends?You sound like an advertising agent.
Believe it or not, I watched the first episode. I see nothing damning about it. I see the push by the people being targeted as nothing more than wanting the whole facts shown, rather than the cherry picked ideas of the AGW crowd.Why?

If you say so.Exteme weather as well as extreme temperatures are overall getting more common because of climate change caused by human emission of C02 and other greenhouse gases.

If you actually did watch the first part, you'd know that all the earliest studies conducted by the fossil fuel industry itself attested to the fact that they were certain burning fossil fuels was contributing to global warming. How did you miss that? Or do you just hear things that confirm your bias? More than 30 years ago, the fossil fuel industry WAS the AGW CROWD!! May I suggest you go back and watch it again? Perhaps until you get it?Believe it or not, I watched the first episode. I see nothing damning about it.

Please, by all means, prove me wrong. Give me a quote and time index. I'm on part 2 now.
Hey - if you've got a different explanation than brainwashed for how or why you're still a denier in the face of the facts, then I'd be happy to concede the distinction. What's your excuse?Calkling me brainwashed shows the level of your debate skills as next to none, if you are incapable of engaging me with reality and facts. Your made up insults have no merit.

That will never happen. Synfuels are far to energy inefficient to be practical not to mention how inefficient internal combustion engines are. They waste 75% of their energy producing heat. We cannot afford to waste like that if we truly want to wean ourselves off fossil energy.. You could power 3 or 4 electric cars with the energy from just one synfuel vehicle. Solar power will be used to split water and produce hydrogen for fuel cells in electric trucks.The irony will be when Exxon, or Shell, Or BP, will start producing carbon neutral fuels, and cut emissions globally by 1/3,
all while making a profit.
And yes, an energy storage medium capable of soaking up all the peaks and troughs from Wind and Solar will be a winner,
and a game changer moving us towards a sustainable energy future.
What you are not taking into account is that the energy they will be using would be lost at 100%That will never happen. Synfuels are far to energy inefficient to be practical not to mention how inefficient internal combustion engines are. They waste 75% of their energy producing heat. We cannot afford to waste like that.
Having the ability to store the energy that would be lost as heat in the grid, is very important,A rainy winter and growing solar have CAISO prices going negative and renewable energy going to waste — what should policymakers do?
Storing energy as hydrogen gas is far more efficient than converting into gasoline. We won't even need gasoline at all very soon. There is a place for methanol but it is a small piece of the puzzle. We cannot keep using I/C engines for transportation they are far too inefficient.What you are not taking into account is that the energy they will be using would be lost at 100%
and possible even cause damage to the grid, if not used.
As we build out solar and wind, (mostly solar) there will be periods where the surplus is more than the system can handle.
This has already happened in California,
Prognosis negative: How California is dealing with below-zero power market prices
Having the ability to store the energy that would be lost as heat in the grid, is very important,
and batteries are not up to the task for the volume and duration of storage needed.
Thankfully Nature has evolved a very high density energy storage medium, hydrocarbons.
Consider a future where surplus solar electricity is stored as natural gas, to be used in a combined cycle power plant
when the sun is not shinning. Or homeowners are given fuel credits for their surplus electricity,
and the fuel is carbon neutral. Put up extra panels, and they can supply fuel for your car!
Have we suddenly fixed the storage and manufacturing problems for hydrogen?Storing energy as hydrogen gas is far more efficient than converting into gasoline. We won't even need gasoline at all very soon. There is a place for methanol but it is a small piece of the puzzle. We cannot keep using I/C engines for transportation they are far too inefficient.
