Beyond excited that I won the Rising Star of the Year at BusinessGreen awards last night 💫 Huge thanks to whole Ripple for all the support 💚

.Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall saying what everyone is thinking this morning Hard to comprehend how Gov are back tracking on this again when over 80% of people support onshore wind 👀 Almost like cheap, green power is a good thing. (📷 from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Instagram)

The heatwave in southern Europe intensifies further today/tomorrow Here are some of the forecast peak temperatures Many coastal areas will remain a touch cooler. Nights remain hot too bbc.in/3DgzlIl

Attempt 1001 at getting the gov to see sense on onshore wind. Kind of like cheap, green power isn’t such a bad idea. independent.co.uk/news/uk/alok-s…

Back in Scotland on the way to Kirk Hill Finding the views of wind farms from the train quite reassuring given the state of current energy / climate news

Big progress being made at Kirk Hill, exciting to watch the wind farm materialise!

Name a better pair of socks for filming the Ripple wind turbine arrivals

Advantages of being up in Scotland for work means weekends spent in the Highlands 😍 Even with dodgy weather, it’s one of my fave places ⛰️

I thought the last few weeks of energy news were bad, but this is really something else 🥴🥴🥴 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Back at Kirk Hill. It’s a very exciting week for Ripple members. Lots of exciting updates coming soon 👀

Say it louder for those at the back

2000 words later and still find it mind blowing that we’ve managed to create floating wind turbines. People are so incredibly clever

Fab week hiking in the Swiss Alps but oh my, the level of glacial retreat was really terrifying. The last few decades has seen these glaciers retreat by 100s of meters. And will likely disappear in my lifetime. Humbling and heartbreaking in equal measures.

Hard to comprehend how short sighted and generally awful this decision is 🙃 theguardian.com/business/2023/…

The Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme has been a great success in supporting renewable expansion but after no bids from offshore wind projects in the last auction, we need to catch up. Read our briefing energy-uk.org.uk/news/offshore-…🧵
