TMXX is the way...

*they* don't keep trying.
Each of them only tries once...

Meh. If I need even one set of alternative footware, a carry-on only is impossible.

Add more grid infrastructure that will be << utilized 50% so that other parts of grid infrastructure will be utlized slightly more, while adding new generation that produces << 50% of capacity.
I'm sure this will work.

It should dedinitly not be means tested either. Loading social policy on utilities is also terrible policy. Social policy should be on the tax side.
When the 'rebate' equalled ~HST it kind of made sense as PST wasn't charged on power, but even then was a bad idea.

Chemical:
B - Fertilizer (all types), and most of the basis for the underying materials for the modern world.
W - Slow recognition of environmental politants, like tetra-ethyl lead, both from waste, and when used as designed.

If you had to do equal baisis, you could pick narrow energy categories where your marginal unit is 'unreliable', matbe as narrow as 'heavy' vs 'light' for oils, or pipline vs liquid gas.

My assumption is the old trade order is dead. And the more solid trade deals you have probably come under the 'reliable supply' category.

In the wake of this energy crisis, everyone 'energy secuity' minded should add a sliding imports tarriff from any energy outside the 'reliable' supply zone.
Something like ($100-purchase price)*25% for oil.
This would push towards more resiliant energy supply chains.

It's also an octane booster...
But the point stands that bans should be removed and the distributor should mix in the best blend for cost and meeting the technical requirements.

How would they do that? Lead as an additive is outright banned.
The competation would be MTBE, not TEL.

The ore for the smelter would still be blocked...
They don't have the mines there...

I figured out how to make the time change imperceptible.
Be on an intercontinental flight when it happens! Then the 6hr change becomes 5 or 7, and you have no idea that it happened...

What if the US decides to stop the war, but the remnants of the IRGC just *don't*?
If they keep taking potshots at ships and infrastructure, what then?
If there was ever a war where Pottery Barn rules apply...

And while you will have physical access to Canadian oil, you won't get frozen prices...

Probably only a tiny fraction in the actual blast, and a lot of burning / fireball on the way up.

If it all burnt, it would be ~270kt of CO2. If it did not about 2.5Mt/CO2 equivalent as methane...

Whelp, guess there won't be a civilian version of that one!

This is probably the best case use.
The comparison is to the logistical tail required for the delivered fuel, in a potential combat zone.
This is orders of magnitude more than conventional diesel, let along grid generation.
And on ship is much easier to relocate.

The best usage case is a vehicle you use to tow occasionally, but daily short trips the rest of the time. Towing is the one that massacres range, and there is not the pull through charging availability to make all EV at all attractive there.

Arbitrary tarrifs are his vehicle fpr granting exemptions. Which is an official act, and he can be handsomely compensated for, while maintaining immunity.
W/o those and the WH is not nearly as profitable for him.

This impacts pricing strategy if there is a bidding approach to dispatch. As a monopoly provider it is open to HQ to structure this somewhat different as they see fit, but the point is that a mostly reservoir hydro system can reasonably use a pricing model that looks like a mostly, say, NG grid

Maybe another way to put it.
The output from nuclear (or wind or solar...) is perishable. If you don't output a kWh this hour, you missed it.
With reservoir hydro (within limits), if you don't make a kWh this hour, you will gain the opportunity to make it at a later hour.

Absolutely agreed there.
Or at least for any capacity value beyond fairly trivial penetration. Short duration saturates very quickly.

Did you sell that power at the time the ISO's wanted it? (baring the last bit in scarcity events)?
If you did, you were pretty much selling capacity as a bundled product...

That is not a bad thing, it just means that it's pricing structure behaves as if it was fueled, and the 'fuel' is valued by opportunity cost of that dispatch at a different time rather than purchasing it.
It also means reservoir hydro behaves as mix of NMC and seasonal storage.

In that if you output a kWh now (by discharging the water) there is some time that you can't run a kWh without ending out short on water eventually. If there wasn't this aspect, it means you don't have enough turbine capacity yet!

Nuclear is not 'energy limited' because it cat run at full output at any time that it's available without taking away it's ability to run at 100% at a different time. It's availability limited instead.
That 65-75% for water management *IS* the energy limited aspect of hydro.

Addendum: Buyer beware. If you are buying a home system, check that it would be viable with the above structure and not whatever net metering scheme is on offer now.
There is a good chance your terms get changed part way through.

When there is enough storage, but not enough NMC gen, the price should go to the marginal cost of the least NMC-gen throughout the period that can refill the storage.
Only when you need to go way down the backup stack does it really get interesting.

More broadly, we can generalize storage into periods where there is enough and where there is not.
If there is 'enough', i.e the capacity and SoC to satisfy all residual demand w/o using non-NMC gens, the market price will trend to the BESS variable cost. I.e. not enough to cover fixed costs.
