I bow to @windycoys.bsky.social, but I think these decisions are sound as they prioritise player devt & don’t just keep players for ‘depth’ (esp if TF doesn’t actually trust them enough to select them now).

Prob only Moore and Vusko would’ve got any starts in the PL/CL & still way less than on loan

Britain’s air has become dramatically cleaner in the past decade as levels of two major pollutants have fallen by about a third, scientists at the University of Reading have found.

While extremes are the new norm, it's important to realise that this level of warming is not - the world will keep on heating up and becoming more and more extreme, until we hit net zero CO2 emissions.

State of UK Climate Report finds weather extremes now the norm in the UK | The Wildlife Trusts New report released today makes for stark reading. Ambitious action must be taken to tackle the dual nature and climate crisis

State of UK climate from the @metoffice.gov.uk shows that summer temperature extremes are changing twice as fast as average temperatures, winters are getting wetter, sea level rise is accelerating, and wildlife is being impacted across the whole country.

I remember the first time I encountered that the regulatory mechanism/DNO modelling had to assume that a co-located BESS (with PV) would be exporting at solar peak (i.e. a worst case scenario) - obviously absolutely mad, and maddening.

Good to see the DESNZ policy paper action on this.

Easy to focus on failures while taking successes for granted. Alongside those failed transfers, we’ve signed Romero (signed at 23), VDV (22), Son (23), Bergvall (18), Udogie (19), Kulu (22)

This is not to defend the strategy / quality of decisions, but this is a really distorting way to present it

Thought this was excellent 👍

Scheme to give heating engineers free heat pumps ‘boosts confidence’ in the tech The programme is to be rolled out to thousands of professionals after a small-scale pilot found it boosted technical knowledge and understanding.

Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan The UK's plan to create investment, growth, and good jobs in clean energy industries, as part of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.

The UK Government is putting heat pumps at the heart of its Industrial Strategy. Published yesterday the 'Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan' list heat pumps as one of six areas with the highest growth potential and commits to a 10 point action plan to grow the sector: www.gov.uk/government/p...

Cirkin please - seems to fit squad needs more than KWP. Most important thing is that Frank trusts and will use any returnees, otherwise it’s pointless

Congrats Chris

Interesting, will take a look.

Clearly, when supply is constrained there’s the possibility of spiky prices. Have you looked at how spiky they might get, especially in a world where FF supply is constrained but there isn’t initially the degree structural changes to FF demand (e.g. renewables, EVs)?

Putting solar panels on new build homes is a no-brainer. It cuts energy bills, reduces emissions, and sets us up for a greener future- built in from the start.

Rooftop solar for new builds to save people money New homeowners stand to benefit from rooftop solar and cheaper bills, with the Future Homes Standard being published this Autumn.

NEW

Solar panels will be mandated on 99% of new homes from 2027, government confirms as it promises future homes standard will be published in autumn

Who knows, but I’d expect that if Tel is the 9 then it’d be Son left and Odobert 10 rather than vice versa
