⚡ Breakthrough moment for UK’s energy independence
Today's AR7 secured a record 8.4GW of offshore wind capacity at a strike price of around £91/MWh (2024 prices)
Offshore wind ⬇️ wholesale power price by approx 1/3 in 2025 by squeezing out gas generation

Ana Musat of Renewable UK on why no matter what you think of government net zero targets, to boost the UK's pending generation electricity gap most quickly, we will need renewables.

"Offshore wind is still one of the best deals for consumers" Ana Musat of Renewable UK explains why in 1 minute.
Wholesale prices for new:
🏭 gas: over £100/MWhr
☢️ nuclear: around £128/MWhr
🌬️ wind: around £86/MWhr (below £94/MWhr they save money off bills, above are cost-neutral for billpayers)

IPCC AR6 reports #renewables now 10 times more efficient at CO2 mitigation than new #nuclear.
And given tragectory data, renewables much more efficient after 2030.

Trump admin sued for halting work on the US’s largest offshore wind farm
Dominion Energy is suing the Trump administration after the US Department of the Interior ordered five offshore wind projects currently under construction to stop offshore work on December 22 – including Dominion’s 2.6 gigawatt (GW) Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW), the largest offshore wind farm in the US.

President Trump posts an image and writes “Windmills are killing all of our beautiful Bald Eagles!”
The image is a dead falcon at an Israeli wind turbine, as seen in this 2017 Haaretz story.

Trump is posting more photos of dead birds and wind turbines today.
In one photo he captioned “Eagles going down!”, it’s actually a photo of a red kite from 2010 in Spain.
The other photo is from 2006 in Taiwan.
