Building Climate change, machine learning & startups

Last year we spent ~£1bn turning OFF wind turbines because the grid couldn't cope with the amount of wind energy in the system. We've been digging into how, why, and when this happens

@emollick How about the converse - did they try and create conspiracy theorists?

@climate_ben Love this cover image!

@Adam_Grant_Bell Thanks @Adam_Grant_Bell, pithy as always. How does the process of REMA being finalised work? How many consultations etc before this becomes reality, and how much wiggle room remains?

@Zapaman @GivEnergy @glynhudson @JeremyClimas @TrystanLea I’m a cofounder of Axle - as others have said, it's an alternative to saving sessions where we automate the battery behaviour.

Not such a big value add for an expert user such as yourself, but great for folks who don’t want to fiddle with their battery daily

@KitFitton I recall James, Piclo CEO being very keen on this

@tonyennis Love the logo!

@_HannahRitchie @AukeHoekstra @mark_lynas That's awesome - look forward to it. I attempted something similar in 2021, but I think things have moved on significantly https://t.co/uKZYNgK6fJ

This is extraordinary - the fact the car is electric is COMPLETELY irrelevant to this story. Surprised that the BBC is courting the gasoline lobby in this manner.

I didn't realise Truss had snuck all these in, thanks for looking out for us Rishi!

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.

We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.

[Archy de Berker 🌍🤖📊 @ArchydeB]

@heatfutures @twallin_james But at least all those renters are allowed to buy new petrol cars with all of that money their landlords will presumably bestow upon them. That's how trickle down works

[Archy de Berker 🌍🤖📊 @ArchydeB]

Who are all these people who desperately want to buy new petrol cars for the next decade, and how do they have so much political capital?

It's not even the car lobby, who'd rather sell you an EV!

[Tom Callow @au_tom_otive]

STRUGGLING FAMILIES ARE NOT BUYING NEW CARS!

STRUGGLING SMALL BUSINESSES ARE NOT BUYING NEW VANS!

[Archy de Berker 🌍🤖📊 @ArchydeB]

Kind of mind boggling to hear Sunak describing the success of previous green policies (wind, EVs) whilst tearing up his own

How can we better tell the story of how Canadian wildfires link to ULEZ in South East England?

On our side of the pond political capital for Net Zero is drying up; on the other side everything is drying out and catching fire

[Archy de Berker 🌍🤖📊 @ArchydeB]

@ACJSissons I just finished @EdConwaySky's book (Material World) - highly recommended. A sobering reminder that our quality of life is critically dependent upon our ability to dig stuff up and turn it into things.

And that achieving Net Zero means more material extraction, not less!

@a_Damien_Kelly @twallin_james @robhawkes Amazing, thanks Damien!

[Archy de Berker 🌍🤖📊 @ArchydeB]

Very interesting but I'm struggling to find details of what kind of curtailment is necessary in SE England, traditionally a place of great demand and little supply - any idea @twallin_james @robhawkes ?
