Daily on Energy: Climate change and energy take center stage on debate night

CLIMATE “HOAX” GETS SHORT SHRIFT: The first Republican presidential debate took an unexpected turn late Wednesday night as the issue of climate change and energy became front and center early on. But not everyone’s answers were welcomed by the audience.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley asserted that Republicans do in fact “care about clean air, clean water … but there’s a right way to do it.” Haley proceeded to jab at President Joe Biden for his investments into electric vehicles, claiming that these investments will fund China’s market — and called for pressuring China and India to lower their emissions.Gov. Ron DeSantis took it as an opportunity to bash Biden and his response to the Maui wildfires.

“Republicans have been working on economically sustainable climate solutions for years and it’s great to see the beginning of those policy debates take shape with the Presidential candidates,” Luke Bolar, chief external affairs officer of ClearPath Action, said in a statement. Release of the wastewater began at 1:03 p.m. local time, according to plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company, which said it had not identified any abnormalities.

The treated water has been stored at around 1,000 tanks at the site, which had been nearing capacity. The Hywind Tampen floating offshore facility is located nearly 87 miles off of Norway’s coast in waters ranging from 850-984 feet deep, according to Equinor, which owns a majority share in project. “We will use the experience and learning from this project to become even better,” she added. “We will build bigger, reduce costs and build a new industry on the shoulders of the oil and gas industry.”

"Due to the extreme heat creating near-record electricity demand and unplanned generation outages over the last 12 hours, MISO has declared [an energy emergency alert]," MISO spokesman Brandon Morris told Reuters in an email. In a letter to the company sent this morning, Consumers’ Research Director Will Hild accused the company’s operations of becoming “a laundry list of expensive boondoggles and distractions.”
