Yesterday the GB power market came within 580 MW of demand control or a blackout on what was the tightest day since 2011 or before
@neso_energy issued its first Electricity Market Notice of the winter and third (quickly cancelled) Capacity Market Notice
Stunning.
@Ford CEO @jimfarley98 "visibly shaken" when he saw Chinese EV progress, and shipped one to the USA where he's driven it for 6 months and "didn't want to give it up"

Holy shit.

Seriously, you're going to wake one morning in the 2050s in a home warmed by your wind powered heat pump, open the dividend from your solar farm share, ride to work on an electric bus passing fields of agroforestry brimming with wildlife, and wonder what all the fuss was about.
You’d hope though ideally we could look to ban coal burning stoves at least. Air quality alone is a major problem with them but also terrible for the environment. Scottish government buildings are burning coal still even.
The time is almost here for Kirk Hill Wind Farm 🍃 We're so excited to share that energisation of the first of 8 turbines is coming this month. Over 5,000 Ripple members have made this happen. This is what people-owned renewables is all about. The big switch on is coming soon - watch this space for updates! ⚡️

Even the Scottish Fiscal Commission thinks that £45 million of the potential £53 million raised from an additional 1p on the top rate of income #tax will be lost in the first year due to behavioural changes (and the % lost will increase over time).
