Astronomers of Bluesky, is anyone able to tell me what these stars (planets?) are please? I am aware that the big one is the Moon. I am convinced the bottom one is orange, although my eyes are old and decrepit so I may be wrong. Apologies for the terrible London light pollution.

Deep dive: How the UK plans to reach clean power by 2030
With my colleague Molly I've dug deep into the govt's 136-page action plan for decarbonising the grid by 2030
If achieved, it'd see offshore wind become backbone of power sector – in just 6yrs

This is important analysis showing how more solar and energy storage in UK (60GW by 2030) would cut bills with home grown energy.
Durham University finds tripling UK solar to 60GW by 2030 cuts costs, emissions, and gas reliance.
Why it matters:
- 12% savings.
- Jobs from rooftop & solar farms.
- 80% of homes pair solar with batteries.
🚧 NESO caps solar at 47.4GW—missing out.
🌞 Our call: Set 50-60GW targets & reform grid.
Clean Power 2030: Making the most of solar
The following briefing discusses the discrepancies between the National Energy Systems Operator (NESO) advice and Solar Energy UK's projections for solar

The thing that’s going to kill British print newspapers and magazines and drag down lots of news outlets is not losing readers due to death/boredom (that’s a nice predictable downward graph) but the collapse of the distribution network. Already happening! Can’t buy a paper at York station right now.

Not to sound like one of those awful cold water swimming evangelists, but that's exactly what I am, and having put myself through it again this morning I honestly can't recommend it enough. It's a higher state of being

Pessimists sound clever.
Optimists change the world.
I love this depiction of the energy transition by RMI.
