Didn't believe it at first so just reproduced it myself and this is indeed how wind and solar balance each other in OECD Europe according to the @IEA. Remarkable!
It means that increasing interconnectivity can be an alternative for seasonal storage for 100% renewable electricity.

@TMolomby @KetanJ0 I strongly support renewables (and nuclear), think he’s talking about the toxic waste from PV panels which are a problem. BUT it’s something the industry are aware of and investment will expedite a solution.

Treaty to ban nuclear weapons made official with 50th UN signatory : https://t.co/aamT1Id9GU - How pointless, the majority of the signatories probably don't have the resources or technology to develop them anyway while those who do haven't signed and are investing in new weapons.

It’s time to reject “I’m not a scientist” as an excuse for inaction. It’s time to send an actual scientist to the U.S. Senate. If you’re ready to put #ScienceInTheSenate, join me today at https://t.co/xwD90cXxwu.

Horrible! This video from Spain shows the horrifying amount of plastic trash in the stomach of a small fish. We need to demand companies do better.

@AssaadRazzouk Tesla is not just about cars, they have patented and invested heavily in R&D for battery / self drive technology. Private car ownership will fall but demand for their technology won’t, it transcends multiple industries.

Applications only become delayed because developers a) don’t listen to the local community b) they design to the minimum requirements of the regs and often argue when it’s ambiguous. If anything we should do the opposite, while turning the 1m+ unbuilt approved homes into reality.

England's planning reforms will create 'generation of slums' - Having worked at one of the largest developers in the UK for the first decade of my career I can tell you this is catastrophic. #PlanningReformDay https://t.co/VdXfSDn9mi
