Last year we spent ~Β£1bn turning OFF wind turbines because the grid couldn't cope with the amount of wind energy in the system. We've been digging into how, why, and when this happens

@Adam_Grant_Bell Thanks @Adam_Grant_Bell, pithy as always. How does the process of REMA being finalised work? How many consultations etc before this becomes reality, and how much wiggle room remains?
@Zapaman@GivEnergy@glynhudson @JeremyClimas @TrystanLea Iβm a cofounder of Axle - as others have said, it's an alternative to saving sessions where we automate the battery behaviour.
Not such a big value add for an expert user such as yourself, but great for folks who donβt want to fiddle with their battery daily
@_HannahRitchie@AukeHoekstra@mark_lynas That's awesome - look forward to it. I attempted something similar in 2021, but I think things have moved on significantly https://t.co/uKZYNgK6fJ

This is extraordinary - the fact the car is electric is COMPLETELY irrelevant to this story. Surprised that the BBC is courting the gasoline lobby in this manner.
We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.
We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050.
@heatfutures@twallin_james But at least all those renters are allowed to buy new petrol cars with all of that money their landlords will presumably bestow upon them. That's how trickle down works
Who are all these people who desperately want to buy new petrol cars for the next decade, and how do they have so much political capital?
It's not even the car lobby, who'd rather sell you an EV!

How can we better tell the story of how Canadian wildfires link to ULEZ in South East England?
On our side of the pond political capital for Net Zero is drying up; on the other side everything is drying out and catching fire
@ACJSissons I just finished @EdConwaySky's book (Material World) - highly recommended. A sobering reminder that our quality of life is critically dependent upon our ability to dig stuff up and turn it into things.
And that achieving Net Zero means more material extraction, not less!

Very interesting but I'm struggling to find details of what kind of curtailment is necessary in SE England, traditionally a place of great demand and little supply - any idea @twallin_james@robhawkes ?
