⁦@leenorganics⁩ Leeks looking good this year on the other hand.

[WIND WATER SOLAR @WindWaterSolar]

@leenorganics Very slow this year, we’ve picked just one so far, rest still forming heads. In other words, not great!

@leenorganics Monoculture!

Don't know at what level it is running at the moment but, when producing it's full 900MW, Moneypoint devours up to 7,000 tonnes of coal per day. It's consumed that every day for the last 30years. That's a lot of coal!

@leenorganics Same to you Jason.

Critics say any federal support that props up the growing U.S. LNG industry will doom efforts to reach international goals to contain the climate crisis. https://t.co/Kxdd93zCvJ

There's just been an absolute whopper of a grid event on the Irish electricity system. Grid frequency floated around 49.75Hz for ~15 minutes! Back @ 50Hz now..

(I now see Coolkeeragh CCGT 425MW was the cause)

Never seen this (the duration of dip) in my 11yrs of working on grid

This is such a chilling story. Have a listen to this man...

Nature is being left behind in the rush to develop offshore wind - we're urging @EamonRyan to act with the same urgency to create MPAs as he is to decarbonising the economy 🐳

This is an important debate - including for Ireland.

The Guardian just published an article on my "Kafkaesque" house arrest in America after beating Chevron in court. Now 600 days without trial.

Surprising that we make so little use of the power of falling water in the country. It is not as if it is in short supply!
Tiny battery charging turbine shown here is producing 75w electrical with just 0.5lts/sec flow and a head pressure of 3 Bar.

Dürfen die indirekten Emissionen der fossilen Energiewirtschaft vernachlässigt werden?

Nein - ganz und gar nicht:

[WIND WATER SOLAR @WindWaterSolar]

Interesting that one of the proposed solutions to grid collapse mentioned in the article is 'encouraging homeowners to install battery backup systems'.
In other words, distributed generation. https://t.co/BZjWeAfKX3

Kerry Woolen Mills hydro project progressed well in 2020 in spite of Covid. Ready for arrival of Kaplan turbine from Czech company Hydrohrom in March, travel restrictions permitting.
