The @LordsSTCom report on long-duration storage is out today. Important stuff. My only critique is that this should sit within a wider debate on energy security: long-duration storage is necessary but not sufficient for a clean, affordable and resilient energy supply.

Excellent discussion of energy efficiency , Jeavons paradox effects and the miracle of LEDs-and their materials technologies

Universities are failing to boost economic growth https://t.co/3fn5zqJh6C from @TheEconomist... in short, Unversities need to focus more on turning ideas into cash... and not taking cash to come up with ideas!

The corollary must be that surely the UK must invest with every nerve in sinew in developing low-cost renewable energy… Not just for reasons of climate change, but out of economic self-interest?

[Kevin Bygate @KevinBygate]

We are being served a harsh reminder of a simple truth: most of what constitutes economic activity is actually a form of energy conversion. The real currency of an economy is energy!

Meanwhile in the uk we are thinking of softening the regulations on banning the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles and banning the installation of gas boilers in newbuid housing. We have workable solutions… Electric vehicles and heat pumps: we just need to get on with it!

Italy wildfires encircle Palermo as temp hit 47C. Ferocious storms hit northern Italy with trees brought down & hail damage around Milan. The Māyor said: “What we are seeing is not normal. We can no longer deny that climate change is changing our lives” https://t.co/fRs74Ryw5N

We spent £1m on electric chargers — but we don’t have the power to use them... so a better answer is to generate and store the power locally at the point of use, using solar panels and batteries.

Only governments have the power to cut demand for oil and gas, and their job has barely started

[Pilita Clark @pilitaclark]

Oil companies are no match for the gathering #climate crisis they helped to create https://t.co/Ijtq5bLD1H

Perfect approach to regeneration.

Here is a reseach paper that illustrates how investing in distributed residential
energy also stabilises the grid and reduces the need for investment in energy infrastructure. @EnergySysCat https://t.co/AIxiX7bePp

I despair. Is this the result of self vested interests, either directly or sub consciously… ? If we convert buildings to being energy positive that will be much cheaper. Will the energy system catapult please challenge this thinking... @guynewey

FT-Germany plans heavily to subsidise power-hungry industries? https://t.co/hyCLpAgqG4

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

First solar farm connects directly to national grid: why are we doing this... just put it on the roof close to where the energy is needed.. plenty of roof space on supermarkets, warehouses, and football stadiums!

Took this is the garden this morning… in the world full of daffodils, she was a blue bell- wild, fearless and rare.

The energy price crisis, climate change and the threats to energy security urge us to act now. In our latest blog, BIPVco CEO Jonathan Wilson, addresses the need for energy diversification in the face of global uncertainty.
