No, it's not @greenpeace.org or @billmckibben.bsky.social, it's #WoodMcKenzie an UK Research Institute

(SMRs) small #nuclear reactors and conventional nuclear are the most expensive energy sources, closely followed by #GAS

#Solar - even + #batteries! - and #wind the cheapest ones

Wind power has cut £104bn from UK energy costs since 2010, study finds Reduction comes from energy generated from windfarms and lower cost of gas owing to lower demand

UK wind power benefits and costs 2010-2023 :

Lower energy bills through avoided gas: £14.2bn
Avoided infra & new gas generation: £133.3bn
Subsidies paid to wind power: - £43.2bn

Overall benefit to UK economy **£104bn**

Don't believe the wind power haters

Since tweets like this continue to travel and I get similar responses every time I post something positive about China, it's maybe good to point out where China's progress on clean energy is and isn't world-leading and/or game-changing. 🧵

Global wildfires burned an area of land larger than India in 2024 - Carbon Brief “Extreme” wildfires emitted more than 8bn tonnes of carbon dioxide during the 2024-25 “global fire season”, according to a new report.

"The researchers identify that, in some cases, the area burned by these fires was 25-35 times larger than it would have been without global warming."

Arriva la pioggia (tanta) ma non ovunque.

A partire da martedì l'anticiclone che da giorni interessa l'Italia e l'Europa occidentale, si indebolirà sul suo bordo orientale favorendo l'ingresso di masse d'aria più fredda in quota e alimentando un minimo al suolo sul Mediterraneo. 1/5

Greenpeace Belgium activists just blockaded a massive LNG hub to send a clear message: people in Europe no longer accept dependency on fossil gas, whether from Russia, the USA, or anywhere else.

Exciting developments in solar.

Just read this fascinating FT article on perovskite solar panels – the next-gen innovation that's lighter, more flexible, and up to 20% more efficient than traditional silicon ones.

Imagine panels turning everyday surfaces into power generators

...e può rimanere in atmosfera secoli. L'aumento della concentrazione di CO2 provoca un incremento della temperatura dell'atmosfera, cui si associa un incremento dell'evaporazione e quindi della concentrazione di vapore acqueo. Quest'ultimo contribuisce ad accelerare il riscaldamento.

Prima che si scateni la cavalleria, sappiate che il valore acqueo è un gas serra importante però a differenza della CO2 condensa, ha un ciclo di vita di 24/48 ore e il grosso si distribuisce per lo più nei primi 3000/4000 metri di atmosfera. La CO2 non è condensabile, arriva a 50 km di altezza...1/2

A new study shows the (future) US designed Small Nuclear Reactors would produce electricity at a much higher costs with respect to the already quite expensive new reactor AP1000.

Yet more evidence from @ember-energy.org that the global roll out of 'electrotech' is accelerating fast and will push fossil fuel demand into structural decline very soon. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519025...

Climate breakdown led to around 16,500 deaths in cities across Europe this summer

These deaths are on the hands of the companies profiting most from fueling the climate crisis

The EU and governments must turn this around, and one step is a serious #EU2040 climate target that respects the science
