35 years in global energy generation. Badly broken long distance walker, ultra marathon runner, mountain climber and cyclist. Based in Greece and Northern Ireland.
2024 and 45% of German electricity came from Wind and Solar and no nuclear (GB 34% wind and solar)

Apparently adding more Renewables increases electricity prices.

A nice simple illustration of what GB Gas generation did to wholesale electricity prices this week.

Looking at the month on month sales information and what China, Japan, India, Korea and Tesla are doing it really is quite staggering that some UK politicians think the future of UK vehicle manufacturing is internal combustion engine technology.

Despite all the ranting this week about wind power and unreliable renewables and the usual blackout predictions by fossil fuel lobbyists and tabloid media.

Wind was No.1 generation source and unsurprisingly the grid was fine.

29% of the British population thinks that climate change is not the result of human activity.

That’s the power of fossil fuel lobbyists.

Very few Brits see COP29 as useful in tackling climate change. I am minded to agree while they are held in petrostates and filled with fossil fuel lobbyists

So the Conservatives have backed another Tufton Street sock puppet for leader. Kemi will turn Net Zero on its head to satisfy fossil fuel funders and kill the UK sustainable manufacturing and services industries given the chance. Economic and climate madness.
