In Parliament this week I asked the Chair of the Bar Council what he thought of the Government's plan to automatically terminate 1000's of laws at the end of next year- I think I got a pretty clear reply

@AndrewRTDavies Shall we look at NHS satisfaction rates just after Labour stopped being in office in 2010 and NHS satisfaction rates now?
... shall we?

Though not

Making good progress on an interactive (website) version of the wind farm "live" generation map.

Wind farms that report generation are in green on this image, and I've also added all the other wind farms that don't report (in blue).

More updated to come so watch this space!

@bobbyllew Winner of Tweet of the week!

For "when the wind doesn’t blow" the UK needs energy storage
@HighviewPower liquify air and store it & when the liquid air is released, it rapidly expands back to its gaseous state, turning a turbine to generate electricity

Without #longdurationenergystorage the UK can’t achieve #netzero according to a recent BBC article. Despite offshore #windpower leadership, #cleantech like #HighviewPower is needed to store #renewableenergy for periods the wind doesn’t blow. Read more: https://t.co/mp0iuTAmVw

@FullyChargedDan Be nice if there was a Mastodon instance for Clean Energy tech. I'm hoping enough start jumping ship and posting via Mastodon.
Sure it's not a smooth as Twitter but unless people *actually* move and actually en masse stop tweeting, EM has got everyone by the 🥜s

[Tom Ormiston @tom_ormiston]

@robhawkes Interesting 🤔...
Have you got a Git repo for PR's for your side project?

[Tom Ormiston @tom_ormiston]

@JuliaLight92 @starlinguk @richardosman Set myself up on https://t.co/aG29gbJeJS it took about 8hrs to get the email reply. Seems the Musk effect has made all the Mastodon instances do a bit of overtime, so a little patience is required at the moment.
The rest pretty standard.
So far so good

[Robin Hawkes @robhawkes]

This is getting interesting...! 👀

Been plugging away for a while on a side project to display actual and historic generation from wind farms, solar, etc.

Finally got to the stage where I have wind farms (well, BM units) displayed on a map showing their "live" active power.
