Definitely on reading list. looks great from the abstract...

Bright sunshine, autumn colours, thick river mist still in the deeper Neckar valley and wisps across the Rhineland. Heidelberg and Baden-Württemberg looking stunning this morning

Going to have a craic?

Meanwhile as consumer we have to move our energy consumption to electricity - much is already, but also transport (electric cars - they work very well) and heatpumps (how to heat homes, also work well). I am one out of two here, and need to get cracking on the heatpump change to my house.

Basically the British grid (Ireland... has its own grid) is in pretty good and improving low carbon heading to zero carbon shape. The last bit of year-long zero carbon operation is hard, but we should probably chill out+let this battery/storage revolution bed in not just in Britain but across Europe

More batteries - everywhere - in cars, in houses and across the grid in different locations - will allow buffering and allow everything to average out substantially more over both geography (interconnectors) and time (batteries)

Soon the British grid should be able to operate with 0 fossil fuel production (it will be interesting to see how this all works out) and in 2030 more North-South interconnectors from Scotland to England will be active, and more East-West with Germany.
