Passionate about renewable energy...have operated large offshore windfarm...speak from experience...continuing to support renewables O&M. Views are my own.

SLEEPING ON THE JOB: Ahead of #COP30, Oxfam staged a Big Heads protest in Belem, Brazil to call out rich nations for their climate inaction❗️
After nearly three decades of climate talks, COP30 must not be another summit of lip service. The richest countries and the richest people must be held accountable.
Wealthy nations must submit ambitious climate plans based on their fair share and pay up the climate finance they owe.

Last winter, DFS was used 44 times and proved itself as a competitive balancing tool for Britain’s electricity network. 🏠See how the world leading service reduced or shifted enough electricity use over winter to power the equivalent of 12.7 million homes for an hour. �Last winter, DFS was used 44 times and proved itself as a competitive balancing tool for Britain’s electricity network. 🏠See how the world leading service reduced or shifted enough electricity use over winter to power the equivalent of 12.7 million homes for an hour. 👇

This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

@SPE_OE @Shell Shell have flip-flopped on #OffshoreWind so many times…divested London Array…slowing down on Scotwind…stoping future renewables development #ShameOnYou #ShellKnew #ClimateEmergency
Making excessive profit from the fuel poor and British tax payers..

@HereBeProof @XR_BSE @AdamBienkov @RachelReevesMP @greenarteries Even for a large offshore wind turbine the emissions caused by its manufacture and installation take much less than one operating year to “pay back” then a lifetime of carbon reduction.

@dsear_pda @Adamski250567 @afneil This is how the electricity grid is managed…30 minute periods. This system of 30 minute periods has kept the lights on for decades…

[Sally @gener8ingbetter]

@DrSimEvans @Jennife15046404 Wind is not unreliable. We predict (pretty accurately) what we can produce each half hour period of every day. This reliable generation then allows the grid engineers to balance the grid.

Love this…we need more fact checking :-)

(And less BS)

[Kate, Florence and James @KateFantom]

I don’t want to say ‘middle-aged, white man’, but I’m definitely seeing a trend in the bullshido and absolute lack of knowledge when it comes to net zero.

Ok, let’s fact this out.

The particular mower, a 36v Ebauer will run for 80 mins on a full charge and consume 360Wh/0.36kWh in the process. At today’s cost of 33p/kWh it would cost 11.88p.

On that particular day the grid intensity was very low, and despite what Lee said, Ratcliff doesn’t run on gas, only coal and coal mix.

The emissions for his area were 99g CO2/kWh, so if he used the full battery, he’d have emitted 35g/CO2.

The most fuel efficient B&S push along mower will burn approx 1.66 litres of fuel for the same time, (I’ve under quoted this as the figures are tricky to pin down)

Burning 1 litre of petrol produces approx 2.3kg of CO2, so the B&S mower would emit 2.875kg for the 80 minutes and a host of other emissions. PM, CO, NOx, SO2 to name a few. (In his street)

https://t.co/0m6epiAx6j

The cost in petrol based on a 5hp B&S mower of 1.25l/hour would have been £2.39 for the 80 mins.

Emissions
33g for electric
2875g for petrol

Energy use
0.36kWh for electric
16.6kWh for petrol

This chap has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. If he can’t square away the basic figures of a lawn mower, what else do you think he’s going to struggle with.

Think about it 🤔

Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds. 😞 the most important question (not asked or answered) is whether this tipping point is now baked in or can it be reversed (and what would that take) ? https://t.co/upGuBYcmPx

@EYAlliance A £6.5m campaign….what’s the cash being spent on? Interested to know how many £1000 grants there are - or is most of this being spent on ad agency fees and management consultants??

@CarolineLucas @UKLabour @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer the last reason I had to vote Labour has disappeared. The cost of doing nothing (£, social, poverty, health) is so high you are nuts to water down your green policies 😞

@Telegraph We’ve had this service in Scotland since 2020…why has it taken so long for England and @RishiSunak @Conservatives to decide to do this? 👀 electioneering not caring reasons???
