Wondering if injecting CO2 into the ground to get more CO2 (in the form of oil) out of the ground actually reduces net emissions? @cleanaircatf analysis says yes: every barrel of oil produced using CO2 injection for "enhanced oil recovery" reduces CO2 by about 37%.
There's no doubt variation around that precise number, given the different carbon intensities of different sources of oil that may be produced & displaced by CO2 for EOR. Something @DxGordon can probably comment on. But nice to have a ballpark figure from @cleanaircatf.
Here's the full report from @cleanaircatf on the impact of the 45Q tax credits for CC(U)S in the United States, out today catf.us/resource/45q-c…

The analysis of net effect of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (shown in chart above) comes from @IEA here: iea.org/publications/i…

.@DrKateMarvel: "12 years isnt a deadline, and climate change isnt a cliff we fall off — it's a slope we slide down. We dont have 12 years to prevent climate change — we have no time. It's already here. Even under a BAU scenario, the world isnt going to end in exactly 12 years."
"[@AOC]'s right that decisions we make in the next decade will determine how bad climate change gets — we can't prevent bad things, but we have the power to avoid the worst-case scenario." -@DrKateMarvel

Those are quotes from axios.com/climate-change…
Or, from @KHayhoe:

"Every action matters. Every bit of warming matters. Every year matters. Every choice matters."

Today, @AOC & @EdMarkey released a Congressional Resolution calling for a #GreenNewDeal, "a 10-year plan to mobilize every aspect of American society at a scale not seen since World War 2 to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions and create economic prosperity for all." My take...
You can read the full text of the #GreenNewDeal resolution here: apps.npr.org/documents/docu…

And a fact sheet being circulated by @AOC to define her vision of the plan here: apps.npr.org/documents/docu…

Both are short, so dig in yourself if you haven't yet.
I commend @AOC, @EdMarkey & #GreenNewDeal co-sponsors for putting the urgent need to confront #climatechange with an ambitious clean energy mobilization on the top of the political agenda. This is an urgent threat. Confronting it is a real opportunity for economic renewal.

Strongly disagree with this statement that energy models have *declining* policy usefulness in context of rapid technological change. In fact, when used appropriately, energy models should have *increased* relevance in this context (just not the way @EIAgov uses NEMS) 1/
The EIA uses their models to create "projections" which are often misinterpreted as "predictions." They are efforts to say what the future "will be" (prediction) or "is likely to be" (projection). 2/
Using a model for these purposes depends on your ability to very accurately characterize the underlying techno-economic dynamics AND the probabilities of changes in key parameters. When it comes to our rapidly changing energy sector, both of these break down. 3/

#ANALYSIS Much has been said about young people running for various offices across the country - Ready Or Not?

While a host of them are simply making up the numbers, 3 have stood out remarkably and could win a seat each in the National Assembly. @BankyW @GRVlagos @RinsolaAbiola
We therefore will do a brief analysis of their chances tomorrow as they head to the polls.
@GRVlagos is a 35 year old Architect who ran for Ikeja local government chairmanship two years ago and lost. He is running for a seat in the Senate in the Largest senatorial district in Nigeria #Lagoswest on the platform of @OfficialPDPNig .

Out today! My new, chart-rich paper on trade, globalization & US public opinion:
cato.org/publications/f…
So now a thread on why I wrote this paper - the data for which were surprisingly difficult to gather (thanks, @pewresearch, @Gallup, @ChicagoCouncil, etc for the help!) - and what it reveals /2
The malleability of US public opinion on trade is something I first noticed years ago (and briefly discussed in this paper from 2011: cato.org/publications/f…). Trade polls have long fluctuated depending on politics, rhetoric & the economy. /3

#Analysis: Ending #BirthrightCitizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and birth tourists has long been the crown jewel of pro-sovereignty immigration reformers. It's about interpreting the #14Amendment of the #Constitution correctly. Thread.
First, to quote the great Ann Coulter, it's laughable to think that any Founder, Framer or Amender of the Constitution intended for American citizenship to be the prize in a game of Red Rover with the Border Patrol. We're a nation of laws, after all.
Second, #14Amendment was one of three emancipation-related amendments to the #Constitution, designed to grant citizenship to former slaves and their children. The congressional record shows nobody believed 600,000 Americans died to give Congress the chance to open the borders.

More stuff that Sessions/Horowitz/Huber have known for almost a year can now be made public by letting this guy testify to Congress, so they may now know it too:

Of course, what most media people haven't figured out yet, is that this is headed straight towards both Pientka's and Strzok's 302 interview forms being changed after the fact to justify a criminal charge of perjury being made against General Flynn.
At some point in his interview, I'm sure @GenFlynn alluded to the fact his phone calls with Kislyak were monitored & recorded & TRANSCRIPTS of the conversations were part of that selfsame intelligence report that were leaked to Ignatius of the Washington Post.

Thread....
What is the size of the global #oil spare production #capacity?
1- Spare capacity doesn't matter, what matters is the "effective spare capacity", which is what you can bring on line within 90 days of crude quality that buyers are willing to buy.

#OPEC
2- therefore, there are three conditions:
a- Supply: has to be produced within 90 days
b- Demand: Buyers are willing to buy it: crude quality and price wise
c- Delivery: Ability to deliver to byers. Stranded #oil production with no pipeline to transport should not be counted,
3- Effective spare capacity can be maintained for a long period if needed. Here we have to distinguish between "effective spare capacity" and "surge capacity." If those countries have to increase production only for few days, they can use surge capacity, which is way higher
