1/ Here is what I've been waiting for: major institutions doing away with the test-test-test option and simply forcing vaccinations. The legal niceties are firmly on the institutions' side, but...

2/ ...we'll still have fast court challenges that will culminate in a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that cites the 1905 precedent which formally enabled all companies and all governments at all levels to mandate the smallpox vaccine.

3/ The whole process will be loud and unpleasant, but this is the way forward...and the way out of COVID.

4/ Of the two, the LA decision is more important than the Biden decision. What schools do regularly translates into community-wide policy, and so will establish very clear differences between mass-vaxxed populations and those with lower vax penetration.

That this is such a minor story in the #UnitedStates is a testament to how little the United States cares about global #energysecurity

With #oilprices back above $70 we will see a big surge of activity in the #shale fields. At a minimum there will be 500 KBPD that comes from the #Fracklog in short order.

The attack came from #Yemen - which is much farther away from #RasTanura (the worlds largest oil loading facility) than #Iran. #SaudiArabia now has no option but to significantly expand its strike capabilities.

WIND THREAD

1)
Interest in the #solar thread was so strong that I decided to pull together some info on #wind as well. And actually use some #hashtags to make it easier to search.
So with that, on with some windy thoughts from a this particular blowhard:

2)
Like #solar, #wind power faces intermittency problems, so it MUST be paired w conventional power generation unless u r ok having your electricity supply die with the wind. This is particularly the case w old-style 40m turbines in many early-adopter locations like #PalmSprings

3)
Wind’s #sitingrestrictions r different from solar. #Turbines CAN b installed above crops.
Wind CANNOT b installed on slopes (winds r 2erratic, so things alternate between no power & snapped towers) nor above 10k feet (thin air = less force on the turbine blades).

SOLAR THREAD:
Allow me to establish my gravitas on this topic. Here’s a picture of the front of my house this am. Those are not paperweights on the roof. I am not a solar-power hater. I am something much worse. I am a Green who can do math. (!)

2/
Solar power faces a series of daunting technical challenges:

First, high solar intensity. The enemies of intensity are humidity, low altitude, high latitude, and slope.

3/

Solar intensity is much higher at elevation, humidity generates light reflecting haze/clouds, high latitudes introduce massive seasonal variation, and slope vastly reduces area available for panels.
