WALZ: “.. Donald Trump’s calling our Somali neighbors ‘garbage’ and calling the state of Minnesota a ‘hellhole’. I’m assuming it’s unprecedented for a United States President. .. We’ve got little children going to school today, their president called them ‘garbage’.”

All that is gold
does not glitter,
Not all those who

The old that is

Deep roots are not

51.5% of India's power came from renewables on 29 July - an amazing achievement so many said can't be done - while the country delivered 50 % of installed electric power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources 5 years early

Renewables are unstoppable

This was unimaginable just a few years ago: 15 GW of Saudi renewables hitting financial close in one go. That’s almost the entire solar capacity of Vietnam, 3× Thailand or Malaysia, 1.5× Chile, and 75% of the UK’s — signed off in a single shot. The scale of this energy shift is getting cosmic. #BESS

Clean tech spending may hit record high in US this year—DESPITE the political climate.

A structural shift: the transition is increasingly independent from temporary political will. Falling costs, long-term investment cycles & state-level momentum are driving growth.

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.

Carlisle Cathedral Organ Pipes. Walking the Cumbria last year, we dodged the flooding in Carlisle by one day. Amazing luck. Central part of the citi was unaffected and we toured the cathedral.

Pipe Organ in Carlisle Cathedral. Yesterday the Guardian ran an article on three smaller cities worth visiting in Britain, and Carlisle was one of them. The cathedral there is indeed stunning.
