Since people keep mentioning that nameplate capacity is not the same as generation:

So we can sort of predict from the new capacity coming online how much new generation we'll get. Why is there not more nuclear? Cost and build times. Here's just one decade of generation changes in the US. Solar and wind are ramping at very high rates around the world.

There should be far more nuclear on that chart than there is and batteries shouldn't be included, they only shift capacity not generate more - unless somehow they are calculating the efficiency gain for solar which brings me to that question.. is this just total peak generation capacity? That is not a particularly accurate way to measure solar and wind... this feels like a nearly useless chart.

I really wish someone would do this kind of analysis looking at expected total generation rather than name plate capacity. The capacity factor is going to vary a lot for the renewables based on specific project and be much higher otherwise (though some natural gas will be peaker plants). The nuclear plants are likely going to be running at 95+% of capacity, the solar much less.

Also, I can't decide if I'm annoyed that this labeled 'generating capacity' when including battery installations that technically speaking don't generate anything, just time shift supply/demand. I can see the point (both ways), but still...

Does this only take into account assets for sale? Fifth third ceo said on cnbc today his bank holds all securities as available for sale. So does this chart penalize this banks while obscuring banks shifting securities to assets held to maturity?

I think your styling is hurting your story here. I believe the 'thicker' lines look that way due to an increase in data points. This leads one to believe there is a factor of something during this time.

I would try to find a way to better represent a cleaner story across your time axis unless there is an outside factor you want this graph to tell us. You could use a running average to reduce the variability or simply use the same timescale as your childhood years.

We shouldn't pretend that the meter is not arbitrary as well. The point shouldn't be that the feet is arbitrary. The point should be that imperial systems are highly inconsistent and isn't "nice" to work with.

Can’t imagine the “means testing” will be low enough to off set the increase they’d get from lifting the cap, since no one feels like “oh, hey, that benefit I’ve paid into for years? Yeah, don’t care, I’ve got enough” unless they’re really rich.

I know plenty of people who could live without the benefit, but they’re going to be enraged if their benefits get cut.
