📣 An exciting day today at The Northern Eco - a new writer for this new year! @tom-s-bray.bsky.social joins the team to bring subscribers a monthly look at reducing carbon emissions. thenortherneco.substack.com/p/turning-am...

Got a couple of meetings in London on Dec 10th - would love to fill the day, any Blue-Sky connections around to say hello?

I am hosting a Low Carbon Book Club and our first session will be at the end of this month (date TBC) - more details here - www.sb-energy.co.uk/bookclub/ Sign up to join a group of people discussing the new book from Bill McKibben!

Visit to a client in Stockton today took me via two new Solar Farms on the edge of County Durham From what I can tell they are separate ~49.9 MW developments within a few miles of each other Significant projects near us!!

What are you planning this weekend? The weather forecast is for wind in Scotland So maybe charge your car overnight on Friday. Or bake some bread on Saturday Or boost your hot water And if you are on Octopus Agile… you might be able to do all that for free

Watch @tom-s-bray.bsky.social go through the latest data showing the world's trajectory for solar power, drawing on some of the best of Ember graphics 🌐☀️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HawMm1GqVec

I am about to start a mailing list, trying to share Good Energy about the climate transition to my community. Please do sign up! sb-energy.kit.com/29da4f1850

Bit of a good news story to end the weekend- youtu.be/HawMm1GqVec?...

Thanks for sharing @manmademoon.bsky.social!

Friends in @teamlabouruk.bsky.social - what’s the plan to decarbonise homes if gas boilers are welcome?

youtu.be/meT2ajysHHU?... 4 positive climate stories from 2024 from @tom-s-bray.bsky.social

Just watched Al Gore’s talk in Baku this month youtu.be/_w2d-SnjXsU?... The climate trace.org is extraordinary (and addictive to explore!) - it is fairly shocking and detailed what you can find

Methane emissions Lots has been said about reducing methane emissions quickly has a quick & short term impact on warming. One thing I think is often missed - methane breaks down into CO2 and water. So reducing methane emissions and impact of reducing CO2 concentration in the long term too.

Ian Hislop, "Farmers didn't pay inheritance tax at all, and now they're going to pay half of what everybody else pays.. Jeremy Clarkson who originally bought his farm in order to avoid paying any tax on it" HIGNFY play the clip where Jeremy Clarkson denies buying his farm to avoid paying IT

This is a key point, we have a lot of emissions that could be captured today through CCS, not to facilitate more emissions in the future. The Net Zero Teesside project near me is an example of imperfect CCS, a NEW fossil fuel power station, with CO2 captured, with potential to capture more one day

Hello world! 1st post on Blue Sky - I am someone that has got an awful lot of value from a Twitter community over the last 15 years, increasingly that has been inspiration around the energy transition. So moving over here, I’m hoping for more of the same. Looking forward to it!
