@James_BG This has been a big concern of mine. The ceiling is too low, the budget increase does nothing. In theory even if offshore wind were to all bid in, we could only procure 3.6GW. Bear in mind, to meet the offshore wind target, we need 7GW average per CFD.

@KnightRustyArm@James_BG 2012 or not, its too low anyway. all the results contained in the CFD are all done based on 2012 figures anyway, and tracking historic bid as well as what the average wholesale power price was at the time, there is no defending the strike price is pitiful and not fit for purpose.
Just struggling to comprehend that the @guardianopinion editors must be all ‘har har har we’ve really triggered the wokerati EV mob today’, Telegraph style.
YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE GOOD GUYS.
@ZVaska@TimLloydArts@FissionPhil destroying gas facilities is the same in terms of why they are doing it yes, crippling supply to Europe. so in this context, no there isnt.
@ZVaska@TimLloydArts@FissionPhil Not a well thought through question. Why not look at all the rest of the energy security lost in this war. because it cripples northwest europes economies.
Lots of people talking about #fusion as a silver bullet. Bullets however are generally thought of as quick. No sign that fusion will be at commercial scale in anything like the timescales necessary to tackle climate change.
We’ve been working really very hard on new music and we can’t wait to share it with you. In the meantime, we’ve signed a handful of records (Stranger Today deluxe albums plus the last 4 live at St Pancras records) and we also have some CDs and tees going !!
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser Are those practices being widely used? No would the replacement of those practices with crop be better for land use, freeing up spare land to be more biodiverse/increase sequestration? Yes
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser Why would I want to complete a cycle back to butchers? Red meat is an awfully unsustainable resource, you are describing a negative process.
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser It is of course possible with changed infrastructure and changed diet but at the moment, no london would not be able to eat local, all cities are a net sink for resource, due to density. Of course you can with changed and heavily reduced diet variety
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser That just isnt the case when you scale it out to everyone, they did a recent study of lond9n in particular (hold for link). And it doesnt reduce carbon as the distance for packaging feed and local transport (cars, vans) are so much more inefficient for carbon vs shipping.
@philip_crawford @dwmiller88 @MaxCRoser The reality is regardless of the farming, if anyt farming practice is used, red meat will always be more carbon intensive, its just logic. it essentially the same reason petrol cars are inefficient, you have to change the state of something to then get energy out of it.
@philip_crawford @dwmiller88 @MaxCRoser its not naïve at all, if you read the sources of the data they take practices that are most common. In fact Ill go one further. most products we eat in the UK aren't native and we have very carbon rich soil, so in cases food from other countries in the right climate is better
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser I agree not local but authentic business is a good place to spend your buck, though I fear your comment is a rebuttal of Max's post. You can buy local but buy local, low carbon food by changing diet too. Why would you want business to survive that isnt sustainable/cost effective?
@cashandcarrots@MaxCRoser Most people are not able to do that due to living in cities, and few family run farms are able to support the number of people needing those sources, not to mention the corporations they use in order to provide fertilisers and prefarmgate materials. 1.
@Mining_Atoms@Cyclonebuster@BrianGitt yeah you are right, lets never build anything new again, but that includes new petrol vehicles too. what a stupid comment.
@NatureFoodJnl It seems like there is something (or a range of things) in their model which inflates all estimates of freight emissions.
They're just way too high.
If this is the case it undermines the entire output of the work.
