Writing, Softwaring, Figuring, Photo-ing, Listening. Some sax playing. Trying to make sense of the time I've spent on this planet.

The same ceiling. Possibly even more astonishing in context

Bright and windy day. Nonetheless, remarkable that right now renewables are producing over 80% of the UK's electricity demand (and > 70% over the past 24 hrs). Not every day is like this, but it's almost 50% over the past week, 37% over the past year. A real achievement.
Thanks to grid.iamkate.com.

At the moment, renewables are generating almost 70% of the UK's electricity demand. Ok it's both windy and sunny today, but this is not unusual. In fact over the last week (nights included!) renewables have contributed > 50% of our electricity.
Renewables work, and are cheap.

Rose garden at night.
Strange how the camera sees colours perfectly well in the dark while our eyes tend to revert to monochrome.
