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

Friends in @teamlabouruk.bsky.social - what’s the plan to decarbonise homes if gas boilers are welcome?
There had previously been an aspiration to end the sale of gas boilers by 2035 but nothing was legally in force. However, without such an end date, which can provide long-term market direction, it is unclear how decarbonising heating by 2050 will happen. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
UK government scraps plan to ban sale of gas boilers by 2035
‘Future homes standard’ will not mandate replacing boilers with environmentally friendly alternative

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.

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

For the tiny increase in operational, it comes from the awful Petra Nova coal CCS, where captured carbon is used to dislodge more oil from extraction
Most new construction? Fossil gas extraction projects.
Wherever CCS is growing, it's growing to enable more fossil fuel extraction, or usage.

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!
