Hinkley Point C now expected to cost £49 billion.
Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.
I am a climate scientist and this is correct.
As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Please share. 💔
I had a preview of the Warm Homes Plan, and one thing that stood out was the clarity of direction it provides.
A simple word count already tells part of the story.

Data centres are very energy hungry and generate a lot of waste heat. In principle, using this waste heat makes sense.
That’s what I told the i Paper. In Finland it already heats homes; in the UK, schemes are emerging.

“Housing developers in this country have a track record of pushing back against requirements that enhance energy performance of homes. We have seen this with insulation, heat pumps and other technologies. Ultimately, it will be to the detriment of the homebuyer.”

2025 has been a historic year for clean energy in UK, with renewable project approvals reaching a record-high 45 GW — nearly double of 2024.
This surge was driven by an exceptional rise in battery storage capacity, which almost doubled to 28.6 GW, alongside strong growth in offshore wind & solar.
One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Patients are humans, not just bodies. Hear how our 'Spaces to Talk' in hospitals also remind clinical staff that we may be living with illness; first & foremost we are a human being @johnchown.bsky.social @jennyrees.bsky.social @barbarachidgey.bsky.social

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website.
No US government website can be trusted for science information.
Look at this chart.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
Great culture can save lives. Literally.
Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard
A small town installed solar panels on the school roof.
Now, the school saves money, teaches children about sustainability, AND powers nearby homes.
That’s the magic of community energy...everyone wins 🏆🌟
