Unfortunately the organisation looks like it is a genuine partnership between the Mayor of London (not a CC denier or anything like) and the local boroughs.

I think they just don't know what is being said in their name.

Let them know on X @ MayorofLondon

Shocked I tell you, shocked.

Was it salty or did it just burn ?

It's like the difference between someone buying a Tesla car instead of a Nissan Leaf. Both get you from A to B but unless you are an autocrat you will allow people to make the energy transition in their own way. Fine if they want to spend 3x as much for a car, or for their heating.

In principle it should not matter - if the electricity was 100% renewable it wouldn't be that much of an issue if people used incredibly inefficient resistive heating instead of Heat Pumps. In fact the extra money spent on e- might make the energy transition happen quicker.

Whilst three Gorges is mentioned this is nothing to do with Hydroelectric power. Xinjiang is high and dry.

If I was a betting man I'd suggest near the PV farm on the left, running off the 110 KV connection.

Here's the bit that I assumed would make it into the first post:-

Yep that would be really great for holding polluters to account. By the way where does this data originally come from - how often are the chemistry readings updated ?

Originally cryogenics and ultra-high pressure physics, then instruments for the same and now developments of flow battery energy storage in China

I was working with a Senior Professor in London who was keen to take a new NMR technique commercial - he spent two years trying to get permission from his 'innovation' department and and then gave up. I was lucky because I left before these new constraints.

Try orford ness as well

One slightly depressing point of view is that green technologies only get embraced when sufficient money has bought in to it - this of course is a pure western viewpoint. I've been interested to see how China was first silent on flow batteries but is now advertising new factories on a weekly basis.

As a physicist and engineer it's constantly frustrating to see what is essentially a problem in thermodynamics turned into one of geopolitics.

Sometimes it seems that well applied technology can circumvent these constraints - eg EV's got made 'cool' by Tesla. How can this be made to work again ?

I can answer "What is Bitcoin's role in the Energy Transition ?"

I left academia after 10 years and started a scientific instruments company some 20 years ago. Now I have much greater impact globally than I ever did before. Much as I try and encourage others to follow this path they are always hugely reticent, citing spent effort. I was lucky to get out young.

Don't worry Crypto is going down the pan because its a solution for a problem that doesn't exist

Another example of this sort of thing is when RWE stopped the world's largest flow battery development back in 2003
