Day 9: Logical Lines
逻辑导图绘制的思路：
- 其实第一眼看到笃师的逻辑图有一种蒙圈的感觉，因为不知道是应该从哪里看，所以看得很晕，到自己做的时候，做了一个下午，写了3页的笔记整理，才画出一个大概的逻辑图，因为这篇文章是chronology的写作顺序，所以刚开始在实在找不出作者逻辑的情况下，我就选取了小标题来做逻辑块，连接起来做逻辑图，所以还算比较的清晰。
- 文章最开始设置了一个背景（Wildpoldsried），在这个大背景中，作者讲了一个可再生能源带来的问题，就是由于它的penetration，utility的revenue发生了下降，从而导致了可再生能源自断其尾的现象。
- 接着就开始讲这种现象出现的过程和原因等。
- 首先是第一个小标题（Less deer, still disruptive）：在这个标题下，作者讲了政府大力推行可再生能源之后，所产生的一些影响，一方面使得可再生能源的成本不断下降，另一方面，就是打击了化石能源的投资，使得这些人都涌向了可再生能源，然而，可再生能源本身具有间歇性的缺陷，所以使得其他化石能源必须同时供应或者备用。
- 所以这就产生了下面的一个问题，也就是第三个标题说的死亡螺旋（From dull to death spiral）。由于可再生能源市场份额越来越大，使得其挤占其他的化石能源，并将一些高价的生产商挤出市场，然而可再生能源的价格也不是无限降低的，当可再生能源份额达到100%，理论上来说wholesale price会变成0，或者是负数，那么整个电力市场就会崩溃。
- 接着就是两个学者提出的两个现象，一个叫vicious circle（也就是政府越是加强可再生能源的渗透，这个政策本身的效力越低），另一个就是death spiral（随着自己能够发电的人越来越多，会使得utility提高其他需要依靠化石能源的remain的价格，这就使得这些remain很多都离开了Grid），也就是说，由于可再生能源的推行，一方面使得投资商的减少（因为价格实在太低），而不断降低的价格确实的资金的投资越来越重要，另一方面可再生能源的推行大大的减少了需求，使得其自断其尾。
- 而第三个标题（From dromedary to duck），则是通过具体的数据来进一步说明可再生能源的一些问题。同时也提出了一些相应的解决方法。
- 最后一个小标题（Waiting for enlightment）就是作者的一些感慨和期许。可再生能源确实带来了问题，但不意味着我们要放弃它，而是应该找到解决的一些方法。当然是有很多的挑战的，坐着也列举出了其中的困难，所以这个过程注定是缓慢的。
Day 10: Summary
1. 听完逻辑导图的讲解之后的总结
今天听了笃师的讲解之后，对比自己的逻辑图，觉得这一次的笃师的逻辑图做的真的是最棒的一次，真心佩服安妮。尤其是安妮讲的一个理念，就是将不变的东西先单独列出来，让读者明白整个运作的过程，再在这个基础上去画逻辑图，就会变得简洁很多，不需要在每个版块里都单独的再讲一遍，就可以让读者明白里面的逻辑（因为这个作者反复的在每个标题下在讲消费者, fosil fuel generators, renewables，grid and utility 和government之间的一些关系，所以当时真的很纠结到底要怎么总结出来比较好）。所以在听完安妮讲解完之后，我再去看了安妮的逻辑图，真的觉得一目了然，尤其是左边每一个框框里的总结，非常的精炼，而且又抓住了重点，感觉比我那个弯来弯去的要好得多。当然，当时我按照小标题的顺序来展开也没有什么问题，但是感觉不够简洁，一些小细节还要进一步加强，概括能力也有待提高。所以自己还有很大的进步空间，要继续努力~
2. 有关于词汇和语法上的思考：
安妮在讲解中讲到的一点，就是有些作者在写作时候的用词是和作者想要表达的一种语境或者画面有关的，并不代表这个词本身很高级或者很好。这其实是我一个最大的疑问，尤其是经济学人，有的时候，一些作者写的文章感觉非常的“掉书袋”，有很多的词语在查了字典之后，都会在词条后面，标注上【literary】，属于文学上的用词，所以我也不确定能不能用到自己的文章里面。所以今天在听了安妮的讲解之后，深有同感，有的词确实是在这一篇文章中特有的，作者为了表达一种自己的态度，或者描述一种比价文学性的画面所用的词语，要考虑相关的语境，有选择性的使用。一些很妙的用法，很妙的词，可以学着去鉴赏，然后去揣摩作者的意图或者态度，我觉得这样能够更好的理解文章，久而久之的，在写作中，自己也能够适当的运用一些类似的文学性的语言。
还有讲到的finance与fund的区别，这个发散的思维我觉得很好，因为我一般都是在查生词的时候，里面有相关词的链接，会去进一步的了解，但是听完安妮的讲解之后，感觉自己这个依赖性应该改掉，感觉自己想出来的，与自己学过的一些单词进行对比， 或者去进一步搜索出来的，印象会更加的深刻，也会对进一步的学习更有帮助，所以在之后的学习中会进一步加强这一点习惯的养成。
3. 三天的学习总结
这一次的任务3天的时间，感觉工作量好大，一方面是因为经济学人的用词造句比较的“艺术性”，使得我必须要进一步的去理解，所以摘录的单词短语很多，然后逻辑图又弄了大半天，然后第三天认真的听了安妮的讲解，感觉整个人都被填充的满满的，其实我之前也会看经济学人，但是没有像这样这么精细的做这些工作，所以之前多少会有走马观花的感觉吧，但是经过这3天的学习，虽然任务很艰巨，但是学到了很多的东西，也更深的理解了文章的内容。每次看一个Topic, 就增长了一些这方面的知识，比单纯的看，会更加的有深度，能够学到的也更多，会比较有成就感。
所以，接下来的任务也要认真的学习，继续的进步~
Day 11: 附加阅读任务
How to deal with the clean energy's dirty secrets?
1. 解决边际成本几乎为零的问题
政府对可再生能源的补贴应该视地域而定，对于不适合发展可再生能源的地域，政府减少补贴金额和相关的投资，而转而给化石燃料发电的企业给予相关的补助和投资，以此来平衡可再生能源在各个区域“独大”的现象。此外，政府可以指定可再生能源企业的税率与产量挂钩，而非实际消费量，以此来调整这些企业过量的生产，促使这些企业调整生产结构。
此外，政府应该对不同地区可再生能源与其他电厂的数量进行控制，以避免renewables generators 出现低效率运营泛滥的现象。比如A区不适合风力和太阳能发电的区域，应该规定这类发电厂的数量不能超过多少家，同时鼓励其他有利于风力发电和太阳能发电的区域中（比如B区）的化石能源发电厂进入A，从而将资源进行合理的分配。
2. 解决定价的问题
可再生能源由于边际成本几乎为零，所以价格低，破坏了市场运营的机制，应该破除可再生能源价格的垄断，建立不完全竞争市场，使市场价格能够反映真实的需求，从而使得可再生能源能够合理定价。此外，可以按照具体的天气情况采取“浮动定价法”，使得价格与频繁变动的天气情况挂钩，让其他非可再生能源发电厂能够在电力市场中维持一定的市场份额。
3. 解决可再生能源的intermittence问题
政府可以对那些能够根据具体的天气情况做出适当调整的消费者给予补贴，使得消费者减少对“guaranteed renewables”的需求。
其次，通过digitalization、smart meters and batteries来缓和需求，减少由于可再生能源intermittence所带来的不利影响。
