I often think that one of my biggest impacts as an academic is in training up the next generation of engineers to work in Sustainable Energy @SchoolOfEng_UoE

@nedboulting @Chris_Boardman Here's an explanation for why painting the Forth Bridge finally stopped 12 years ago thanks to glass-flake epoxy paint (also used on wave energy converters) https://t.co/id0jAygjYa

🤔 Still unsure what last week's #EnergySecurityDay announcements mean for the UK's #NetZero targets?

🎙️ Our policy experts are recording a podcast this week to delve into the detail.

The best thread I've found so far summarising #EnergySecurityDay. As far as I can tell so far, it is a depressing day for those of us who want a more affordable, secure and low-carbon energy future.

It's mind-bogglingly stupid https://t.co/Af7885YiAT

I haven't read the new strategy yet, but this take seems reasonable based on what I've heard. It's exactly what some people feared about CCS.

My name was on the letter that's mentioned, for what little that was worth...

[Dr Camilla Thomson @CamillaEnergy]

I don't agree that we need to move back to fossil fuels for better energy security. Bonkers. https://t.co/kRsj2F2kjt

@ericmigi Only just found this! Disagree a bit with your essentials - overall screen size is less important to me than screen width to avoid dropping a phone with my tiny hands. Last that worked for me was Xperia Z5 Compact (65 mm wide).

[Dr Camilla Thomson @CamillaEnergy]

@JeremyRBalfour @Edinburgh_CC @CllrScottArthur @NFBUK @RNIBScotland These are almost as dangerous for cyclists who can easily be knocked off and injured by pedestrians. The Leith Walk bike lanes are completely unfit for purpose and a waste of money. You only have to look at cities like Amsterdam to understand how to do safe, separated bike lanes.

A reminder of many happy hours spent backstage at this theatre, and look at the fun techie bits behind the "Do not go through here" door!! #savethekings

[Dr Alex Howard @alexwritings]

Want a sneak backstage peak of the beautiful Kings Theatre? Well my colleague and I have that covered…👑 🎭

It is so important to hold "renewable" energy to account for its claims. No energy production is zero impact, but systems are needed to properly monitor sustainability. https://t.co/gk11JTPaT9

[Dr Camilla Thomson @CamillaEnergy]

At first International conference in a few years #RPG2022. Enjoying the consideration of wider (non-carbon) environmental impacts in the discussion of the future of renewables and achieving Net Zero. @IETevents

[Dr Camilla Thomson @CamillaEnergy]

Ooh, this looks interesting.

@hannon_matthew And the status of the pedestrian and cyclist has dropped. In many places the car is now more important than the human, with space for parking prioritised over space for living.

@BobGooday @ammienoot The most beautiful thing about this is that the queue only crosses 1 road (Chambers Street).
