@Noahpinion Great piece, shame to see recent US results. Let’s support renewable research and technology organisations to develop new tech and make it circular too https://t.co/sq30nfrs21

@tomas_simovic @hajduspox @EdConwaySky @GeorgeTrefgarne Great article, while the numbers are now very out of date the argument mostly holds. I would agree transmission and integration is a challenge and is why the role of common standards and state cooperation for interconnectivity is so important.

@MrJoshua1275 @hajduspox @EdConwaySky @GeorgeTrefgarne Lots, and with the proposal of SMRs there will need to be a discussion over how comfortable the public is with de-regulation.

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@hajduspox @EdConwaySky @GeorgeTrefgarne Honest answer from a renewable fan. Yes it likely will. However the problem is it’s associated growing cost in LCOE and long lead time to first power. It works - but it’s slow and expensive.

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@Noahpinion Hi, have you written anything / would recommend anything on the future of nuclear? Some very divided views on nuclear LCOE v renewables & storage as well as the requirement to maintain a skilled nuclear workforce that’s currently ageing.

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@ThatcherUlrich @Lothario01 @channel_echo @Noahpinion https://t.co/m4g7b9hXqy an interesting read on your points with up to date numbers, renewables and storage costs dropping fast, nuclear still rising. Basically only internet in new build is to keep a skills base

@CarolineLucas @jonathonporritt The green hydrogen market is non existent at the moment. Similar to floating wind, is there not an argument for blue hydrogen from O&G majors being first movers and bringing overall costs down?

@TNCathRN @SBarutta @DenisonBe @leonardocarella A complicated topic, but a more up to date (and less biased)resource here https://t.co/m4g7b90mz0 .

@shashj US dependence was the reason for de Gaulles veto for EEC in 63, Wilson called it as neither independent or British in 64. Thatchers letters in 80 confirming operational capacity only in “supreme national interest”. Is it news to say it’s not as independent as the french system?

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@shashj Are you sure? McMillan wasn’t sure, thatcher wasn’t sure, Cameron wasn’t sure either... all tried to get that clarified, non succeeded. Britain holds nuclear weapons, not a nuclear deterrent.

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@shashj How independent is a system that requires US software to run and any maintenance to be carried out in the US?

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@Nigel_Farage I prefer to have sovereignty , rather than to be a subject of an unelected regime. I would have thought many here would agree?

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@DmitryOpines A substack would be good though....

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@gabbykaulitz001 @UniversalORL This is awesome work. If I was in any way successful, I would pay for stuff like this

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@Noahpinion My query is, should western/European nations do more at home to rewild before making requests of other nations?

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@bluewendysday @philipstephens Exactly, no shame in being a middle tier nation. I just want to see some positive thoughts about the way forward. Environmental reform? A more science focused military presence? What does brexit enable? We are stuck with it now

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@B1EMW @philipstephens You think it’s worth renewing? It’s a lot of money for kit that relies on US servicing and permission to fire...

[Dan @Dan_TheDanMan]

@anandMenon1 @ischinger @SimonFraser00 @IlvesToomas Having influence with the EU is useful to the US, without EU influence...a less special relationship

@iangray71 @stem_feed @engineers_feed Of course the concrete has C02 implications, but the structures these reefs are protecting have a huge net benefit over their lifetime. Removing the plastic from the current state of the art is a big step forward
