Embedded in the energy transition, living in China and the UK - importing renewables components while working to improve supply chain sustainability. I am a generalist (average at best at everything) and a resident of our world.

In the UK, #solar and #wind energy complement each other almost perfectly - in the summer, solar is king, but in the winter the wind is more reliable than the sun. Consider these two together when planning your #renewables energy projects

Wind power has saved consumers £104 billion in the last 15 years on energy costs.
It's that simple, more renewables reduces energy costs, unlike gas which is more expensive in the UK.

It's ironic that in the UK we have the results of a populist Brexit that separated us from our biggest trading partners, the EU. Now a populist government in the US is effectively bringing the UK and the EU and other countries all closer together in terms of both trade and security cooperation!
