Today we published of our proposed locations for new #FloatingOffshoreWind in the #CelticSea 🌊. With up to 4GW of capacity across four sites, that’s enough clean, #RenewableEnergy ⚡️to power around 4 million homes🏠. https://t.co/RxHo570657

Today we launch a new £3.5m project led by @RenewableUK’s Offshore Wind Industry Council with the aim to improve the shared understanding of options relating to offshore wind’s interface with #nature and better coordinate the process. Find out more: https://t.co/2kFs9OVgSk

OK here we go. Conceivably the greatest, most technical accomplishment in the history of natural history art: nearly 4000 glass models of flowers created by Rudolph and Leopold #Blaschka for @HarvardMuseum. None of the objects in here look like glass.
Readers, they're all glass.

Two of my #poems are in the Spring 2023 Issue of The Poetry Review. A total delight to have my work published alongside some truly *legendary* writers. Thanks to @PoetrySociety @hollawaynesmith

[Chris Stark @StarkClimate]

Today we publish our report on a reliable, resilient and decarbonised power system - over a year in the making @theCCCuk

We set out to answer the question: “can we rely on an electricity system based mainly on variable renewables?”

Yes, you really can

Latest @royalsociety report that replacing jet fuel with biomass would require 50% of the UK's agricultural land. In the midst of food shortages, does this mean zero chance of Jet Zero?

[Josh Gabbatiss @Josh_Gabbatiss]

Replacing the fuel in UK planes ✈️ with hydrogen would require more than 2x as much renewable power as the country currently generates.

This rises to 5x as much for other alternative fuels.

And we would still need a whole electricity system to power everything else...

VDL: "This Windsor agreement is good news for scientists & researchers in the EU and UK...I am happy to start immediately, right now, the work on the Horizon Europe association agreement". Good news all round

[Lisa O'Carroll @lisaocarroll]

BREAKING: EU to start ratification of the UK's associate membership of Horizon Europe.

UK had been blocked from the science programme in a tit for tat row over NI protocol.

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨

With 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺 raising the green economy stakes with the Inflation Reduction Act & Net-Zero Industry Act, the UK *must act now* to secure its role as the world’s leading net zero financial centre.

Key to this: clear & interoperable green finance standards.

Every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying.
