Transcript/overview

Today we are talking to Paul Hessburg, Research Landscape Ecologist, USDA-Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, Wenatchee, WA.


Dawn/Investorideas.com:
Paul, thanks for joining us [again] today. It was September 2018 when we last spoke and we talked about the mega forest fires in North America; California and here in Canada. Now we’re witnessing a new kind of mega-fire in Australia, like nothing we have ever seen. Can you talk about the scope of the fires in Australia in terms of land mass/acres versus what our worst fires in North America have looked like?

Paul Hessburg:
Hello Dawn, thanks for having me on the podcast. It is difficult to take stock of the wildfires in Australia due to their rapid speed and the fires outstripping the available resources. The impacts are difficult to fully comprehend until the smoke and dust settles. New information to the outside world lags as the country is mobilized to protect people, property, and wildlife.

Sources currently estimate that in Australia hundreds of homes and more than 18 million acres have burned thus far. In the worst megafire years in the US, more than 10 million acres have burned, and thousands of houses have been consumed or damaged. But fires often number in the 10s of thousands during a bad year. In Australia in 2019, far fewer fires account for the acres burned. In recorded memory, this fire storm year in Australia sets a record for them in acres burned, and in fire severity, and it sets a record for most places on the Earth.
January and February are typically Australia’s driest months. 2019 was the warmest and driest year on record in Australia with temperatures exceeding 120 degrees F on individual days and averaging more than 107 degrees for days at a time.
Australia is currently feeling the impacts of one of the strongest Indian Ocean Dipole events on record. When the Indian Ocean Dipole is positive, the waters off Australia’s Northwest coast become cooler than average, and this effect moves moisture away rather than towards Australia, accounting for the current very hot and dry conditions. (See the figure below.)
So, it’s ordinary for this to be a time of wildfires in Australia and for it be the hot, dry time of year. But the current climate warming trend is not normal, and it bodes poorly for Australia’s future.




Dawn/Investorideas.com:
And following that-is there a different strategy needed for fires of this size?

Paul Hessburg:
When you think of it, few cities, counties, parishes or countries are designed to safely and rapidly stave off or mitigate the effects of worst-case scenarios when it comes to mega-disturbances (wildfires, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes and the like). We are playing catch up over most of the planet right now as we become more aware of this fact.
As with the other natural disasters, pro-action, prevention, and preparedness are keys to success. This is clear from the research literature. Results thus far with reacting to disasters have been poor, and costly in terms of impacts to human life, personal well-being, property, and after disturbances -- post disturbance economies. In the case of wildland fires, pro-action, prevention, and preparedness are the key as well. Research to date as well as human experience points to this fact.

Dawn/Investorideas.com:
CNN reporting on the fires recently cited that Bill Gammage, an emeritus professor at Australian National University who studies Australian and Aboriginal history, stated that aborigines “can feel the grass and know if it would burn well; they knew what types of fires to burn for what types of land, how long to burn, and how frequently.”

Further, they suggest that “Aboriginal techniques are based in part on fire prevention: ridding the land of fuel, like debris, scrub, undergrowth and certain grasses. The fuel alights easily, which allows for more intense flames that are harder to fight.”

“The Aboriginal people would set small-scale fires that weren't too intense and clear the land of the extra debris. The smaller intensity fires would lessen the impact on the insects and animals occupying the land, too, as well as protect the trees and the canopy.”

Can you discuss something, we talked about this, (something we talked about in our first interview) how controlled burns can be a preventative tool.

Paul Hessburg:
We did discuss this earlier, Dawn. Proactive burning was regularly practiced by Australian aboriginals during periods of moderating weather to reduce fuels, and to break up fuel patterns on the landscapes with barriers to severe fire flow in advance of the dry season.
In fact, research today shows that every native aboriginal culture we know of throughout the world practiced proactive burning. They harnessed the intentional use of fire to meet wildfire on an equal footing. Rather than take fire as it comes, they proactively used fire to diminish its most harmful effects on people and habitats, while deploying its beneficial influences on fuels and habitats.

Dawn/Investorideas.com:
Since we last talked are you seeing more of this being done?

Paul Hessburg:
Proactive or prescribed burning is not happening in most places with an active fire regime at anywhere near the extent needed. This is also clearly shown in the research literature. The contiguous US is ~2.4 billion acres in area. To resemble the amount of historical burning that moderated wildfire severity, we would need to see at least 50 million acres burned each year when you exclude large portions of the US that are developed and urbanized. We have more tools that burning alone to get the job done, but you get the picture. The contiguous land area of the continental 48 is like that of Australia.
Dawn/Investorideas.com:
I read that since fires are a big part of the history of Australia, (certain trees including the gum trees can recover and grow back) but that is under normal conditions. What do you think the future of forests look like there after this season?

Paul Hessburg:
Gum forests evolved with fire down through the ages, and they have lots of apps for fire. Reports suggest that many burn days have been unprecedented in their severity. After severe fires, gum or eucalyptus forests often regenerate from seed or re-sprout from buried roots.
One main effect of severe fire years is that many new forests are regenerated. That is good news for species that live in new early seral forests, but it is bad news for species, plants or animals that make their living in mid or late seral forests.
Where fires are moderate, gum trees often resprout for roots or lignotubers and burned stems. Their seeds are encased in a woody capsule, which makes them fairly fire resistant. Seeds are stimulated to germinate by fire, much like our own ceanothus species.
Dawn/Investorideas.com:
Turning back to North America, can you talk about your work since we last spoke and where are you seeing a more proactive vs. reactive strategy being deployed?

Paul Hessburg:
Far too few acres are proactively burned both here and abroad. Consequently, escaped severe wildfires are managing most of the acres. 
People don’t like smoke and there are a lot more people nowadays. When there is smoke made by intentional prescribed burning, folks make a loud fuss. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke gets a pass, and society is not asking, “Could we reduce this wildfire smoke and severe fire effects if we did more proactive burning?” Folks just want all smoke to go away.
In my lab, we are studying the factors that are most influential in creating and maintaining more fire resilient and climate adapted forests. Forested area has dramatically increased and so has its density in western North America. Our modeling suggests that the forested area and density of forests present at the time of Euro-American settlement will not likely be obtainable under climate change. We have work to do.
Dawn/Investorideas.com:
Let’s re-touch on a very important topic we discussed last time; the costs of being proactive versus reactive.

Paul Hessburg:
The costs of choosing reactive over proactive methods are enormous. They can be counted in eliminated forest habitats, forested areas that cannot be regenerated back to forest any time soon owing to burn severity, lost mid and late seral habitats, high human health effects, damage to property and ecosystems, and high postfire bills.
In the US, we often spend 5-6 billion a year preparing for and fighting fires. The postfire costs can be 10s to 100s of times that cost. Modern wildfires specialize in high severity. These are the fires that can escape initial attack.
We have many options moving forward to reduce the severity of many of the coming wildfires we will face. While a steadily warming climate largely influences annual area burned, it is live and dead fuel abundance and its availability to burn that drives the intensity of today’s fires, especially as they affect tree mortality, human health effects, and postfire expenses.
To reduce severity, it is critical to address the fuels that have accumulated over the period of fire exclusion. There are numerous methods that can be used:
·        Methods include prescribed burning alone, prescribed burning after mechanical thinning, mulching, and managed wildfire. The application is determined by the conditions, and by the social license available within the local community.
·        Sometimes the woody fuel accumulations are so great after a century of fire suppression and fire exclusion that fire-alone treatments are impossible because fire behavior will be extreme or unpredictable, even with prescribed burning. That is when prior thinning is needed. If there is no commercial opportunity, thinning would have to be subsidized or it is impractical.
·        In many cases, after naturally occurring ignitions, under moderate fire weather, fire managers can use these ignitions to burn up surface fuels and to thin out trees. Maintenance treatments usually involve Rx burning.
·        Mulching involves breaking up the shrub and understory fuels with a mechanical mulching head and mixing those pieces in with the soil. 

Dawn/Investorideas.com:
Our biggest fears are that the Australian fires will trigger weather patterns that play out globally and escalate or accelerate all the climate changes we are concerned with. Are you aware of anyone modeling forest fires globally and creating predictive models, and if so, what are you/they seeing?

Paul Hessburg:
Global climate change (GCMs) models are increasingly incorporating the effects of modern-day wildfires and increasing burned area on greenhouse gas (GHG) accumulation in the atmosphere, and the redistribution of carbon by pool continentally and regionally. Likewise, some individual nations are doing high quality knowledge discovery work to that end.  
Wildfires are no longer being given a pass in live forest carbon storage calculations, and some countries are beginning the work of revising those calculations. The reasons are that wildfires are no longer a background but a major landscape reshaping influence. Wildfires are burning lots of new area in the US and Canada, for example. We have a new project with a Canadian laboratory to do this work. The concerning detail now is that wildfire emissions have surpassed total fossil fuel GHG emissions in several recent years. It means that we may have significantly underestimated the contribution of escalating GHG emissions from wildfires to global climate change.
Dawn/Investorideas.com:
In closing, I ask again, what can we all do personally so we don’t sit back helplessly and watch this? 

Paul Hessburg:
Global climate change is ongoing and worsening and we have an opportunity to reduce our personal and local community carbon footprints. We also can support sound forest ecology and climate change adaptation efforts on state and federal lands to reduce the rate and magnitude of climate change in our country and world.
Climate change is a key. There many opportunities for us as individuals to reduce our contribution to the problem. We can reduce our Jet A footprint by flying less. For many of us, that is our primary contribution to our personal carbon footprint. We can drive less, recycle and reuse more, and drive smaller cars. We can walk more.


Thanks, that’s it for today. Do something good for this beautiful planet each and every day.

The Dawn of the #Solar Age and the Greatest Investment Opportunity of all Time

The Dawn of the #Solar Age and the Greatest Investment Opportunity of all Time

 

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, January 21, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering Cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues today’s Cleantech column at Investorideas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com with J.Peter Lynch.

J.Peter Lynch 

 




We are at an historic junction of human history in which we are transitioning from the age of fossil fuels to the age of renewables and distributed energy, in effect a true paradigm shift.  The tide has turned and the worldwide momentum is irreversible. This change is occurring all around the world and has been accelerating dramatically in the last 3 years.

 

One of the most critical factors in this accelerated transition is plain and simple, yet financially compelling – economics!  Strangely this is seldom highlighted in most articles


Renewables are in fact cheaper than all forms of fossil fuels especially when you compare all of the relevant factors – initial cost, timing of cash flows (cost of money), absence of any variable costs for decades, superior job creation by a number of magnitudes, no pollution, no huge resultant cleanup costs and few if any health related costs.

The truly interesting and significant dichotomy in this transition is that at this time the greatest threat mankind has every faced – Climate Change, is upon us and must be address immediately and at the same time Climate Change also presents us with the greatest investment opportunity of all time!

Climate Change must be addressed and by far the fastest and cheapest way to address it is with existing renewable technologies – solar, wind, biomass and working together connected to batteries when needed and distributed energy networks that are far more flexible, extremely resistant to disruption (storms, terrorism) and have a significantly higher proven reliability.

 

The investment areas include: solar, wind, batteries, electric cars, fuel cells and micro grid related companies are just starting to appear and present themselves and many more will arise as the transition accelerates.

           

It is important for the investor to understand that humans tend to think linearly (pretty much straight), whereas innovation and paradigm shifts are never linear they are always in an S-curve type of acceleration when it moves along on a slight incline (the decades of the change) and then takes off sometimes almost vertically. That is one of the reasons investors generally miss the inflection point where the innovation or paradigm shift starts its dramatic acceleration.

 

It will be the savvy and aware investors and corporations that will take advantage of this. Now that the economics are much more obvious this will spark the investment community and they will further accelerate the transition. It will become increasingly difficult to ignore the superior financial numbers of renewables and in the end the best investment for investors and for the planet will be the same – renewables.

 

You may hear about or read about how expensive it will be for the transition to renewables and yes it will be very expensive, but it will be far cheaper than repairing old and decrepit infrastructure and building new power plants that are actually obsolete before they are built and many will end up as stranded assets.

 

Why are renewables the Greatest Investment Opportunity in History?

Renewables will be a great and transformative investment because they have all the key characteristics of a great investment. They are simply: Better, Faster and Cheaper!

Better – it is clean energy, the only truly abundant energy source, available everywhere, has far less financial risk and is the only energy source that strengthens rather than weakens national security.

Faster - solar scales up as much as 15 times faster than nuclear or fossil fuel plants. There is simply no financial comparison when it comes to speed of building and the time value of money involved. (Money tied up in a project than takes many years (5-10) verses one that is built in 12 to 15 months.

Cheaper – due to recent dramatic decreases in price (62% for wind and 82% for solar) in the past 5 years. These decreases have continued in 2018 and are projected to continue in 2020 and beyond. Another fallacy concerning both wind and solar is that they take up too much land. As you can see below that is simply not true.


The intrinsic advantages of solar are dramatic and insurmountable

 

1.    
Solar is abundant, can be utilized in almost any size (a wrist watch to city) and available everywhere. One could say that it is the most “democratic” form of energy in existence.

2.    Solar is renewable and is not finite as are all other fuels and it is the only source of energy that can easily supply all our long term needs. ** The energy from approximately 2 weeks of sunshine hitting the earth is greater than ALL the energy stored in existing fossil fuels.

3.    Solar & Wind are the only energy generation technology’s that do not utilize (and pollute) vast amounts of fresh water. This is a key advantage that is seldom mentioned. However, it is without question, an advantage that is insurmountable.

4.    Solar & Wind are the only energy source’s that do not create or emit carbon and further contribute to climate change.

 

Why Investing is different when a ‘paradigm shift” is occurring.

One of the “old” contrary adages in stock market investing is: “this time it is different” – it is generally associated with novice investors who most of the time, lose money.

 

It is a true that most of the time – things are the same, but during a paradigm shift – the old rules do not apply and a unique & dramatically different playing field presents itself to investors.

 

It happened before when personal computers (distributed computing) supplanted main frame computers (centralized computing) and it is happening now with distributed renewable energy technologies overtaking antiquated, inefficient and costly centralized energy generation.

The risk of investing in huge power plants that have 30+ year lives when there is the distinct possibility that they could become negative cash flow nightmares quickly is simply gigantic. With efficiency improvements and solar and wind growth the electricity demand worldwide has been decreasing for the first time ever. This decrease in demand will certainly lead to dramatic decreases in revenues and almost certainly long term negative cash flows for central plants.

 

Likewise investing in assets (oil, coal, gas) that are in the ground also presents an unacceptable level of risk to any investor. These assets could become stranded as a result of climate change or simply because they will cost too much compared to renewables to extract.  In the U.S. there has recently been significant pressure for colleges and state pension funds to divest their portfolios from investments in coal and other fossil fuels.

 

Over the past year the S&P 500 index (SPX) has been up 28.88% Oil ETF’s have been down 10.50% Solar ETF’s up 66.04% and Wind ETF’s 27.8%.  The results over the past 3 years are similar. Why anyone would invest in fossil fuel related companies? I do not know what the investment strategy these analysts were utilizing, just let me just say that I am not familiar with that particular investment strategy and would never recommend it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end of the fossil fuel era is approaching and the trend is irreversible. It is simply another example of the capitalist process of creative destruction that has taken place in many industries over the last 100 years and has always resulted in a huge investment opportunity.

 

Mr. Lynch has worked, for 36 years as a Wall Street security analyst, an independent security analyst and private investor in small emerging technology companies. He has been actively involved in following developments in the renewable energy sector since 1977 and is regarded as an expert in this field. He was the contributing editor for 17 years to the Photovoltaic Insider Report, an early publication in PV that was directed at industrial subscribers, such as major energy companies, utilities and governments around the world. He is currently a private investor and has from time to time been a financial/technology consultant to a number of companies.


The next article in this series will cover each of the industries sectors solar, wind etc. It will also highlight (not recommend) the strongest stocks in each sector. These selections will be the result of my using of a system I use for stocks. It is a combination of a stocks relative strength and the individual volatility of each stock.
