It's really very simple:
Building more windfarms means relying less on gas (and coal)
This is obvious from my chart, showing the daily share of GB electricity from wind vs coal+gas since 2012 (darker colours = more recent)
Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm has announced that it's floating turbines have been generating power for the 1st time.
Kincardine is the UK's 2nd #floatingoffshore wind farm & will become the world's largest when it is completed in 2 years! #FOW18

It was fantastic to to be part of @ORECatapult Circular Economy and Renewable Energy Event. So many interesting conversations and technologies presented!
If you missed @Andrew_Hine's presentation you can check out the slides below.

It was great to listen to @Andrew_Hine speak at the @ETIPWind and @WindEurope Sustainability Group workshop early today and explain the advantages of our #rareearth free generator. A copy of his presentation is linked📋⬇️

#offshorewind#cleanenergy
Floating technology holds the key to the successful global deployment of #offshorewind. Very interesting to see that a US oil major is now getting involved.
So what? Well over the next 30 years western economies are ALL adopting #buildbackbetter strategies that are totally reliant on Chinese #rareearthmagnets. Is there a Plan B?
90% — How much of the process of turning rare-earth minerals into magnets that is under China’s control. That dominance gives Beijing sway over makers of various fast-growing technologies. 2/
Long-term #sustainability strategies are now increasingly important to serious #cleantechinvestors. The following article explains why technologies that can’t demonstrate clean supply chains could be exposed – #ESG compliance is now vitally important.
