From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0CRAIG RUCKER<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

California prides itself for being a leader with respect to tackling climate change.  This is because they believe, albeit on shaky scientific grounds, that their citizens \u201calready\u201d face devastating consequences inflicted on them by manmade global warming \u2013 including wildfires, sea level rise, drought, climate refugees, and other impacts that \u201cthreaten their health and safety\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, to lower their state\u2019s carbon footprint, the legislature recently passed a law requiring<\/a> all companies doing over $1 billion in business within California to \u201cpublicly disclose\u201d (by 2026) all their \u201cdirect\u201d greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stemming from fuel combustion they utilize, as well as all \u201cindirect\u201d GHG emissions derived from the electricity, heating and cooling they consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2027, they must also disclose \u201cindirect upstream and downstream\u201d GHGs emitted by sources that they do not own or directly control but from which they purchase goods and services, including GHG emissions associated with the \u201cprocessing and use of sold products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This certainly appears to cover almost every mega-scale entity doing business in the once-Golden State. And it might help those who fret about climate change sleep better at night. But will it actually lower the planet\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple answer is \u201cno\u201d.  Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since only \u201czero-emission\u201d vehicles<\/a> can be sold in California by 2035, and the state must have 100% \u201cclean\u201d electricity<\/a> by 2045, the new disclosure mandates should (at least in theory) cover GHG emissions associated with \u201cupstream\u201d operations required for processing raw materials, manufacturing new energy generation and use technologies, and transporting \u201cclean energy\u201d equipment sold to or used in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new mandates should also cover wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicle batteries, grid-scale backup batteries, transformers, expanded and enhanced transmission lines, and other equipment associated with California\u2019s emerging \u201cclean, green, renewable, sustainable\u201d economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they absolutely should also cover the extraction, processing, refining, and other activities required to obtain the nonrenewable metals, minerals, concrete, plastics, paints, other materials \u2013 and fuels \u2013 needed to manufacture and install those technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The billion-dollar utility companies that buy and use all this equipment should absolutely be required to catalog and publicly disclose all emissions associated with these \u201cclean\u201d technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If such an inventory is accurately taken, and that is admittedly a bit \u201cif\u201d, it won\u2019t paint a pretty picture for those touting renewables, Green building construction, and EV transportation \u201cfixes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Energy Agency and other experts report that electric vehicles<\/a> have six times more<\/a> metals by weight than their internal combustion counterparts. Photovoltaic solar panels require six times more metals and minerals (other than steel and aluminum) per megawatt than a combined-cycle gas turbine that generates electricity pretty much 24\/7\/365; they also require at least 100 times more land area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather-dependent, intermittent onshore wind turbines need 9-10 times more than a CCGT, and offshore wind turbines require fourteen times more raw materials<\/a>. Putting 850-foot-tall wind turbines in California\u2019s deep ocean waters would require mounting them on floating platforms big enough to prevent them from capsizing in storms; that would likely mean 40 times more materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For every 100,000 tons of copper (enough for 2,275 gigantic 12-MW offshore wind turbines), companies would have to blast and extract nearly 60,000,000 tons of ore and overlying rock and then use heat and chemicals to process almost 23,000,000 tons of ore. Every step involves fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nickel for powerful nickel-cobalt-aluminum and nickel-manganese-cobalt EV batteries is found largely in Indonesia, where companies mine the ore using diesel-powered equipment and send it to smelters fueled by coal. Once fully operational, a single nickel-processing industrial park in eastern Indonesia will burn more coal per year than Brazil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobalt for cobalt-lithium batteries comes mostly from the Democratic Republic of Congo, involves extensive child and near-slave labor,<\/a> and, like most other metals and minerals for \u201crenewable\u201d technologies, requires fossil fuels and toxic chemicals and is controlled by Communist China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing wind turbines, solar panels and batteries is also heavily concentrated in China, whose coal-based power and resultant GHG emissions now exceed those of the rest of the world combined. In fact, China put 38.4 gigawatts (38,400 MW) of new coal-fired power capacity<\/a> into operation in 2020 alone \u2013 more than three times the amount built everywhere else around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, California\u2019s Green transition is likely to be an ugly one for those actually intent on trying to lower greenhouse gas emissions. One can\u2019t help but wonder what happens when Californian politicians realize their grand scheme to save Planet Earth from a manmade climate crisis actually results in possibly spewing out more greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My guess is nothing at all \u2013 except, of course, to make sure such a valid inventory isn\u2019t conducted in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
