Feeling excited to have finally banished the fossil gas connection from our home.
We're fortunate to have been able to install solar panels and an air-source heat pump. Now, with the removal of the ageing and probably dangerous gas hob (stove), we can finally say goodbye to gas and with it a significant source of indoor air pollution and methane emissions.
St Petersburgs's legal agreement with Duke is coming up for renewal next summer for the first time in 30 years, creating a rare window of leverage to form a city-run utility.

"As a former teacher teaching science curriculum, it mentioned #ClimateChange but the connection to the fossil fuel industry which provides the fuels, which are then burned, which then causes the carbon emissions, and that's what's climbing and causing climate change, that connection was missing."
The UK’s energy system operator #NESO has just announced a new record for solar electricity generation of 12,200 MW! Quite amazing for a country almost completely north of 50° latitude. #renewableenergy #solar #energytransition
We found discussion to be dominated by #geopolitical and #SocioEconomic concerns, sidelining #climate and #biodiversity.
In fact, climate change and biodiversity were barely mentioned, and when they were discussed, it was mostly about side effects of the #EnergyTransition
#ClimateChange #Biodiversity #EnergyTransition - Scientists’ warning on fossil fuels - "The evidence is clear that fossil fuels—and the fossil fuel industry and its enablers—are driving a multitude of interlinked crises that jeopardize the breadth and stability of life on Earth. Every stage of the fossil fuel life cycle—extraction, processing, transport, and combustion or conversion to petrochemical products—emits planet-heating greenhouse gases and health-harming pollutants, in addition to causing widespread environmental degradation." - Shaye Wolf, Robert Bullard, Jonathan J Buonocore, Nathan Donley, Trisia Farrelly, John Fleming, David J X González, Naomi Oreskes, William Ripple, Robin Saha, Mary D Willis, Scientists’ warning on fossil fuels, Oxford Open Climate Change, Volume 5, Issue 1, 2025, kgaf011, https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfclm/kgaf011
"It needs to be in the public sphere & we need to get corporate #FossilFuel influence out. We need our governments to step up on this with full transparency and accountability to really address the trajectory we're on and the critical need to change course. It's URGENT."
The electrical grid is the world’s biggest machine, and it’s remarkable that it rarely breaks down. When it does, it can have spectacular impacts, as the shutdown of London’s Heathrow airport last week clearly showed.

"The importance of evidence based #ClimateChange education is all the more critical considering the corrupted information sphere in which we're all living. #BigTech funds algorithms that fuel messages to young people. It's really hard for young people to navigate this corrupted information sphere."
Tesla is a brand built on good will and practically no competition. Now the good will has been spent and the competition is accelerating, raising new challenges for Tesla's in the energy storage business as well as its cars.
"The Alberta government's 2024 curriculum appears to have been developed with #BigOil involvement, directing teachers to discuss the benefits of #OilAndGas & their role in Alberta's economy. A recent report found an industry funded nonprofit lobbies to include this content in the curriculum."
If you're paying attention to Australian politics at all, you're hearing a massive load of anti-transition, far-right propaganda being amplified by a gullible/corrupt media. If you want the real story on what government is doing in its #energytransition and why it's the right strategy, listen to this!
"We're seeing a failure of government leadership to fully fund #ClimateChange education curriculum development, the resources & training teachers need. It needs public funding so it's accountable to us, not to a board including #FossilFuel representatives protecting their interests over those of students & teachers."

All this story of energy transition is because we have projected on the history of materials a history of technology. In the history of technology you sometimes have substitution, technology do become obsolete, but raw materials never become obsolete.

As the coal industry rebounds, we must question the narrative of a swift energy transition. Are we clinging to the past while the future demands innovation? The absurdity of it all! #EnergyTransition #AI
"We know young people are really suffering anxiety about the #ClimateCrisis. We have to be honest and we have to address this. With good publicly funded, #ClimateChange education."
“There is simply no physical way that wind, solar and batteries could replace the myriad uses of natural gas,”
- Energy Secretary Chris Wright
