Data centres want 50GW of power, which is 5GW more than the UK's peak use. This is a big increase compared to current needs.

We can have hope for #pluginpv progress in the #UK: Energy Secretary Ed #Miliband will/has/is:

“Announcing that “plug-in solar”, low cost solar panels that families can buy at supermarkets and put on their balconies or outdoor space, will be made available in the UK (…) The Government will work at pace with the relevant bodies, consumer groups and industry to introduce new standards and amend regulations to get these onto the market as soon as possible.”

If you ask, we are ready to support the work for such standards!

Il Tempo: Iran, Londra valuta l'invio di dragamine per riaprire lo Stretto di Hormuz

La Gran Bretagna sta valutando diverse opzioni con gli alleati per pcontribuire alla riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz, bloccato dall'Iran. Lo ha annunciato il ministro dell'Energia Ed Miliband, con l'obiettivo di permettere il passaggio alle petroliere e regolarizzare il flusso di carburanti dal Golfo Persico, evitando l'ulteriore aumento dei prezzi al consumo. "Ci sono diversi modi in cui possiamo rendere possibile la navigazione marittima. Stiamo esaminando intensamente cosa si può fare perché è fondamentale riaprire lo stretto", ha dichiarato Miliband in un'intervista all'emittente Sky News. Tra le possibilità l'invio di dragamine o droni per la ricerca di mine a Hormuz. Teheran ha affermato nei giorni scorsi di aver minato lo Stretto proprio per impedire il passaggio delle navi. 
Il presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump aveva chiesto ieri a Gran Bretagna, Francia, Giappone, Cina e Corea del Sud di intervenire insieme agli Usa per riaprire lo Sttetto di Hormuz, dove transita il 20% del petrolio mondiale. Al momento soltanto il Regno Unito ha risposto e sta mettendo a punto un piano operativo. Con la guerra in Iran e la contrazione delle forniture il prezzo del greggio ha superato i 100 dollari al barile.

Iran, London considers sending escort frigates to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The United Kingdom is assessing several options with allies to contribute to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran. Energy Minister Ed Miliband announced this, with the goal of allowing passage for oil tankers and regulating the flow of fuel from the Persian Gulf, avoiding further increases in consumer prices. “There are several ways we can make maritime navigation possible. We are intensely examining what can be done because it is fundamental to reopen the strait,” Miliband said in an interview with Sky News. Among the possibilities are the deployment of mine countermeasures or drones for mine detection in Hormuz. Tehran had stated in recent days that it had mined the Strait in order to prevent the passage of ships.

U.S. President Donald Trump had yesterday called on Britain, France, Japan, China, and South Korea to intervene alongside the U.S. to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil transits. Currently, only the United Kingdom has responded and is developing an operational plan. With the war in Iran and declining supplies, the price of crude oil has exceeded $100 per barrel.
