Personal and independent views. The time to limit the impacts of climate change is rapidly running out. I have been doing what I can for 20+ years. Careers - engineering(weighing, public transport, comms), digital media, teaching, training, retirement

About 0.03% of installed wind turbines in Europe are Chinese, the majority are manufactured in Europe.

Far less than 8% I think!!!
Last time I looked there were just two windfarms with Chinese wind turbines. I think about 30 wind turbines.

I believe there are over 100,000 installed.

0.03%

I have listened/watched a number of Iranians being interviewed on the radio and TV (including film maker Jafar Panahi).

None of them believe the regime will fall as a result of Trumps and Israels attack.

Trump assaulted renewable energy. Now America is more vulnerable to Iran fossil fuel shocks Oil and gas prices are affected by global factors. Countries that invested in clean tech solutions are better positioned as the Middle East crisis escalates.

I'm delighted with my heat pump – but there are still too many barriers to get one installed The government is right to put heat pumps at the centre of its Warm Homes Plan. But affordability and convenience are key – as I learnt first-hand.

Heating has to be electrified, alternatives can easily be exploited by the fossil fuel industry and governments with a climate change denial agenda.

So we have to go down the heat pump route, engineering solutions rather than deliberately creating vegan distractions.

πŸ“Œ A reminder:

Most of the gas Europe imports is used for heat - to warm our buildings and to provide process heat in industry.

Only around 20% of gas is used to generate electricity.

Difficult to say exactly, but most domestic gas use is for space heating and hot water.
Government stats don't distinguish between the different domestic uses.

Ecotricity's Green gas is bullshit, it's Dale Vince's Vegan fantasy.

Apart from that heat pumps work in the majority of homes, even most less well insulated homes. The issue is generally poor installer training, Heat Geek are doing a lot of excellent work to rectify that.

I think Trump has ideas of conducting a crusade.
He has commented on thinking he won't get to heaven, he'll probably do anything to try and achieve his goal.

The sea is higher than we thought and millions more are at risk, study finds A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters.

Good news everyone!

The Trump regime chose not to notify our allies that we were launching a war across the middle East. Now, not only Americans are stranded, but so are our allies- tourists, diplomats, people who work in countries that became war zones overnight

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
