Next time someone tells you that the energy transition cannot be done remember:
In 2012 almost 40% of UK electricity was coal.
Since 1 October 2024 it is zero.
This is the moment Britains last coal power plant shut down on 30 September - the end of 142 years of coal.

Tonight I think of all the old men who spent a lifetime screaming to everyone about Russians infiltrating America only to end their lives as ardent defenders of Russia.
A lifetime that is ending with a giant "NEVERMIND!!"

Instead of dams or altered waterways, “marine hydrokinetic energy” uses small, underwater turbines to generate power from free-flowing rivers and tides. The technology is considered promising for reaching remote communities that otherwise depend on diesel.

Portland company replaces diesel with hydro-kinetic energy to power remote communities | Mainebiz.biz
ORPC's technology generates power from the movement of rivers and tides. It's had success with a system in remote Alaska and is now getting interest from around the globe.

On climate protest, a superb point from @richarddenniss.bsky.social. If protest wasn't effective, govts wouldn't try to ban it. And as much as politicians like to talk about parliamentary logjams, as soon as fossil capital is threatened, they mobilise with extraordinary rapidity and efficacy.

In our climate emergency, two improbable things can be true at the same time:
Today is the hottest January 21 humans have ever experienced + it's snowing in New Orleans.
That's how the climate works.
