‘Zombie’ electricity projects in Britain face the axe to ease quicker grid connections.
The UK’s energy system operator is pulling the plug on hundreds of electricity generation projects to clear a huge backlog that is stopping “shovel-ready” schemes from connecting to the power grid.
The backlog will be cleared with the aim of building a virtually zero-carbon power system by 2030.

🌿 Giữa nhịp sống hối hả của châu Âu, một ngôi làng “trong mơ” ở London với 250 cư dân đã đạt 0% phát thải carbon: không khói xe, không máy sưởi lạnh giá, và không một chiếc ô tô nào trên đường. Mô hình sinh thái này minh chứng cho lối sống #NetZero thực tế, mở ra hướng đi mới cho đô thị bền vững. #London #SustainableLiving #ZeroCarbon #GreenVillage #MôiTrường #EcoFriendly #BảoVệMôiTrường

Advice please! We think we have enough money to either a) swap out our gas boiler for an air-source heat pump or b) get solar. Which one is the best to prioritise? We're in the UK.
@bakuninboys the problem with this argument is that we literally can't replace the world's entire fleet of fossil fuel vehicles with electric vehicles made with zero carbon materials quickly, because we don't have sufficient zero carbon steel smelting plant (and other strategic materials). So when we stop tolerating carbon fuels — which we must — private cars will again be only for the rich. Pretending this isn't so is dangerous.

From the discovery of iron working techniques, about 3,200 years ago, up until the widespread exploitation of fossil fuels, about 250 years ago, iron and steel were rare, precious materials. The average person, across the whole world, almost certainly had less than 500 grammes of it. A knife, probably; some tool of their trade, possibly. Even members of the elite — warriors who fought in full armour, for example — probably owned no more than 30kg of iron and steel.The use of fossil fuel changed all that, of course. There's about one car for every two people in the UK, and the average car now weighs 1857Kg, so that's almost a ton per person in cars alone, not to mention all the steel we now have in buildings and infrastructure. But it's fossil fuels that have made that possible. In future, we can't use them. So how much steel will we have?

“The surprising thing is #China is building a portfolio of #ZeroCarbon resources that are designed to not perfectly complement each other, but to work alongside each other to reduce reliance on #FossilFuels,” Harper added.

The scale of the transformation now required is staggering, but so is the cost of delay...
A baby born today should see the turn of the next century, and they’ll be living with the consequences of the first half of this one.
