I’m very suspicious of ‘smart’ things in general. They are essentially connecting everything about you to a central data base, continuously watching everything you do and with the ability to control your use of services. Eventually authoritarian governments will have the ability to impose unrelated conditions on your access to services via a social score as in China. Naughty boys won’t be allowed to catch a train, buy groceries, or attend events.
Smart meters claim some benefits, but also are used in Australia to ration power in peak times by, say, reducing the cooling of your air conditioner at those times. EVs on charge can become communal batteries exporting power rather than charging overnight. My Chinese solar panels, I’m told, can be controlled by China if they want. I’ve seen videos from robot sweepers of women on the toilet. Who knew your helpful robot was recording everything inside your house and centrally storing it? Your smart phone, TV, security cameras, video doorbells, smart fridges etc all do this all day.
None of this removes the problem created by inefficient power generation caused by governments imposing CO2 reductions for no scientific reason - including decarbonising shipping. It’s fraudulent and it is meant to enslave you under central control. Utilities have lost their ability to freely operate in a free market. They are under so many state-imposed restrictions they have become captured.

I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you.
I sip Australian rum (Bundaberg) 
though it’s early on the day of rest.
Two of the most qualified scientists discuss climate change.
You may guess that decarbonising doesn’t fare well.

:I know you’re being patriotic here. First Circle Bundy is palatable but the general stuff would dissolve cast iron.
I have simple, unsophisticated, banana-bender tastes. My cast iron gut was first tempered with XXXX.
its sarcasm that if you run on free green power your cost of electricity will be going up dramatically.
In oz coal is 1/3 the cost of green power atm.
I have that Francis Cabrel album. Blast from the past -

Makes no sense. If it is “green power”. How can coal be 1/3 of the cost?
Besides, I thought you said “if you run on free green power your cost of electricity will be going up drastically”? If this is the case in Oz, then what are you paying for?
Oh I see, that is what you call “sarcasm”. Sounds more like a joke to me.
(Free power = More cost?)
Waves, tides and ocean currents is also used to produce “green power”.
The last two are intermittent, but predictable, while ocean waves are variable, but dependable in many places.
PS: None of which use coal in the process of producing “green power”.
Found an interesting presentation . Noticed that most participants/audience 
were abt Dr.Buuu.. hm, oh pardon -were older then me
There will be more interesting quotes if You care to view this clip. The adaptation of plants was fascinating.
Cheers

Coal is not green power but it is 1/3rd of the cost of the green free power
It should be considered as such. It frees CO2 from its solid sequestration to a gas that greens the world, an effect visible everywhere and from space and a positive good for all especially poor subsistence farmers.
As Eliza Doolittle sings here, “Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat”.
Pehaps the world just wants to go back to where it was happy for millions of years when all the carbon in the ground was in the air
Was a bit hotter thats for sure, till it wasnt

We’ve already had a couple too-much-carbon based mass extinction events.

In this episode, we discuss the impact of the delayed IMO deal to cut global shipping emissions and the resulting focus on the EU’s FuelEU Maritime regulation.
We hear about the political tension and uncertainty surrounding the IMO negotiations, the interim strategies for the maritime industry and the benefits and challenges of the FuelEU regulation.
We also look at the pooling process for emissions reduction, and the importance of fuel quality and certification.

I also believe the decarbonisation drive will weaken further … to net zero decarbonisation.
It was idiocy to start with and sensible people can see that it always has been.
Decarbonise if you want to … and inevitably drive up your costs.
