The British electricity system was over 50% renewables last year

The system operator is expecting by 2030 grid companies will connect 34.5GW batteries, 32.1GW offshore wind & 29.9GW solar

Considerably more than any of those sectors has operating in Britain today

Britain’s grid overhaul means hundreds of energy projects unable to connect this decade

It's 25th anniversary of the 1st offshore wind turbine in the UK this week

Offshore wind now provides over 1/6 of UK power

Success was not inevitable, and it continues to be a battle against the fossil fuel industries

Greenpeace UK has been part of the fight

Powering Britain’s future: Greenpeace’s battle for offshore wind - Greenpeace UK
In 25 years, offshore wind power went from niche concept to the backbone of the UK's energy system. But this success wasn't inevitable.

A new record - on 5 December wind power produced enough electricity for 3/4 of UK homes

At 23.8GW it meant that even during winter peak demand, it was still providing nearly half the country's power needs

Still a way to go though....

⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.

Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.

We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

@mliebreich.bsky.social I see via some mastodon posts that Trump's anti-windfarm executive order has been knocked back. (Not sure if an appeal can be made to a higher court, perhaps even supreme Court where Trump would sadly win.)

Anyone know how American Football seeding works please? Even tho i find it oddly wonderful that #chicagobears are supposedly no.1 seed, and altho the #larams lost to the Panthers, the Rams have better points for & against.

Fascinating ep of Newscast with interviewee Helen McNamara who was in No.10 during COVID. The look on Paddy O'Connell's face (incedulity) when Helen says that there is very little that those at the top can physically actually do. As Paddy said so many similar failures during covid, tory & now Labour

Highlights suggest Washington and Chicago were both doing their utmost best to lose, but the Commanders tried a little bit harder and the Bears won as a result 🤦🤦😂

Was typing into Google "ameri...." and it suggests "football scores" which was what i was going for, but also DJ Konik - Americans. So... YT. I can definitely hear russia in "Russians", i get a sense of Europe in "europe" but how the hell does the US influence "Americans", i just can't hear it 🤔

@roisin85.bsky.social @speedyb.uk as I was getting ready for work earlier I had tv in background so I could see time but on mute, I caught last 5 min of 15 min segment “your voice, your questions” words to that effect, on vets & emergency charges. It was on 3.30-45. Check out bbciPlayer news channel

When Shazam gives me the name of a tune but when I look it up on YouTube it’s a 30 minute mix of several tunes, grrrrr! I thought Shazam found single distinct tracks, not mixes 🤷‍♂️ (“Frances Dj” often comes up, and his mixes are an hour or more!)

Whilst trying to find a makina remix of a Plumb track I came across the Gareth Emery original of Concrete Angel and altho its slow it's quite delightful (even for trance it sounds slow!) youtu.be/0dFz10R529g?...
