#SCOTUS cleared the way Wed for a #Biden admin plan to cut #GreenhouseGases & other #emissions from #FossilFuel fired power plants, denying an emergency appeal by >24 #Republican-led states, #utilities & others.

The groups sought the emergency injunction while they pursue litigation to block the #regulations, claiming #EPA’s #PowerPlant plan would force the premature closure of some plants, cost jobs & jeopardize #grid reliability.

The Washington Post · Supreme Court clears way for Biden’s plan to cut power plant emissionsBy Justin Jouvenal

A #robot begins removal of melted fuel from the #Fukushima #nuclear plant. It could take a century
A robot entered a damaged reactor at Japan's Fukushima nuclear #powerplant on Tuesday, beginning a two-week mission to retrieve melted fuel debris for the first time since the 2011 disaster. The operation marks a crucial step in the decades-long process to decommission the plant and address the highly #radioactive material inside three damaged reactors.

Not shure about that #NuclearFusion theory tho...

I'd assume by 2100 we'll basically mandate buildings to be "energy positive" except historic buildings just out of need to have everyone supply into the #grid...

  • We'll likely have more fluctuating #EnergyPrices so people will prefer to cook and do laundry at peak energy output in the lunchtime...

I'd rather see #DESERTEC done than #Fusion #PowerPlants simply because of #cost and #scalability reasons: A #solarthermal #PowerPlant is way easier to build and maintain than #NuclearEnergy will ever be because both are #thermal and controlling #reactors is more complex than making just water/oil/salt "go phlooosh" through black pipes heated by sunlight off parabolic mirrors...

  • Potentially we'll see multiple giant setups in deserts around the globe if not #offshore in #tropical areas...
