Got dragged to see Wuthering Heights thinking I would hate it and it was great. The whole cinema was full of gays and middle aged women swooning and steaming over Jacob Elordi, need a yorkshireman to run his fingers through my hair in the middle of the the foggy wilderness

UK Wind Power has rallied to 19.9GW this morning. With 0.9GW of Solar we are burning 2.3GW of Gas as well as exporting 0.3GW. Hydro is 0.3GW. Nuclear is 3.9GW and the awful Biomass 1GW The price of wholesale electricity over the past 24 hours was £66 per MWh. #renewables

Reframing Energy for the Age of Electricity We need to count energy from the perspective of the consumer in order to understand the changes sweeping the energy sector

If you want to understand the future of energy (and therefore of many sectors in society) you need to read this article.

You can see why the fossil fuel industry is fighting so hard and so dirty (literally and metaphorically) against this trend.

Tony Blair’s oil lobbying is a misleading rehash of fossil fuel industry spin Ex-PM’s thinktank urges more drilling and fewer renewables, ignoring evidence that clean energy is cheaper and better for bills

Tony Blair report claims #renewables too expensive.
But onshore #wind £72/MWh, #solar £65MWh - whereas £147/MWh for #gas.
Offshore #wind £91/MWh 40% cheaper than new gas. #Nuclear more than £133/MWh and would take many more years to build.

Former Lanarkshire coal mine to be turned into giant battery park Developers confirms £800m investment across two sites in Scotland to support the growth in renewables

And before y'all start with your "WhAt YoU GonNa Do WhEn ThE WiND Not BloWiNg" crap . . . we already have pumped hydro and Europe's biggest battery energy storage system for 3 MILLION HOUSES being constructed with more in the pipeline 🔋

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A great day for cheap power enthusiasts as 5GW of solar comes in at £65/MWh and 1.3GW of onshore wind comes in at £72.24/MWh. Both prices are in £2024 and are below the wholesale price, meaning that these projects will cut costs.
