О причинах энергетического кризиса
Oct. 5th, 2021 03:48 pmрассказывают на Блумберге.
The world is living through the first major energy crisis of the clean-power transition. It won’t be the last... In the throes of fundamental change, the world’s energy system has become strikingly more fragile and easier to shock.
Take the turmoil in Europe. After a colder-than-normal winter depleted natural gas inventories, gas and electricity prices soared as demand from rebounding economies surged too fast for supplies to match. ... But now, the U.K. and Europe rely on a very different mix of energy sources. Coal has been cut back drastically, replaced in many instances by cleaner-burning gas. But surging global demand this year has left gas supplies scarce. At the same time, two other sources of power -- wind and water -- have had unusually low output, thanks to unexpectedly slower wind speeds and low rainfall in areas including Norway.
In other words: A strained global gas market triggered Europe’s record-setting spike for electricity prices -- and the transition amplified it.
Если посмотреть на красивую интерактивную картинку, которая в пост не вставляется, то видно, что за каких-то 8 лет англичанам удалось почти полностью извести уголь, который давал около 30% зимней энергии ещё в 2013, и заменили зелёнкой, которые дают 20%, тогда как газа (упс) не прибавилось, а ядерной энергии и вовсе стало меньше. В итоге обще производство электроэнергии упало, ну и вот - очередная блестящая победа в борьбе с потеплением.
