Thanks to all those that attended and helped to make the event possible. Presentations from Norfolk Rivers Trust and Norfolk Wildlife Trust were excellent. Great to interact with some of the organisations that had implemented projects through the small grants fund The National Lottery Heritage Fund Defra UK

Started Father's Day with a terrific breakfast, then in the afternoon off exploring a section of the Fife Coastal Path. Great day!

If you think #StormBabet has been a once in a blue moon event you may be disappointed. Northern Hemisphere ocean and air temperatures ridiculously warm and El Niño gearing up, all adding energy and moisture to the atmosphere. Climate change is getting real to more folk.

The fastest roll out of a new energy system in history: Renewables have already reached an “irreversible tipping point” and will dominate electricity markets by 2050 without any additional policies What we need now are policies to go faster bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #climate

"Electrification is efficiency". The energy transition will reduce final energy demand (and primary energy too). Here's the transition for transport 👇 My new post on this: sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electrificat…

The rapid growth of renewables like solar & wind is a key part of clean energy transitions. But grids, which bring the electricity to consumers, aren't keeping up. Investment in renewables has nearly doubled since 2014. For grids, it has barely changed 👉 iea.li/492BKoS

The last decade was about driving down the cost of low-carbon technologies to make them competitive with fossil fuels. This decade is about building them as quickly as we can. Build, build, build. [note that this will drive the costs down even more]

It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization. There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/presentations

Welcome to Norfolk Coast Protected Landscape. We're home to a special collection of protected sites on the Norfolk Coast on land and at sea. This is a landscape like no other, where big skies stretch across endless beaches and bird cries echo across saltmarsh creeks.

Worth a read, includes a bit about the scaling solar programme and how it worked against Nigeria's efforts to get utility scale solar off the ground. open.substack.com/pub/toddmoss/p…

I don't think people appreciate the dimensions solar is improving in. Conversion efficiency isn't the full story. Yes, conversion efficiency doubled (~10% -> 20%) in the last 20 years, but silicon use per watt fell by 87%! (16g/W -> 2g/W) Longi now has cells that use just half

Here’s some good news. The International Energy Agency says we need to be installing 650GW of solar each year by 2030. It’s quite likely that we hit that THIS YEAR: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Rainfall anomalies for 4 out of the last 5 Februaries. This is just the start as already locked in heating will lead to greater extremes. We’re not coping very well with what we’ve already got, let alone what’s coming.

The expansion of the Synchronous Condenser market is one of underreported stories in energy, primarily because it's about spinning bits of metal hidden in sheds with no exciting planning battles involved. /1
