Three of the top five British grid electricity records smashed in 2025!
This is a huge success story, despite what Russian bots and U.S fossil fuel shills scream on X.
Every unit of clean domestic energy we produce means a safer future for our children…🥳
It’s the final part of the Goat Ritual.
I told you about it before.
Next Christmas season, I hope to show and tell you more.
I love how Ukrainian traditions come to life.
it looks like the rain will break midday so i can go for a bike ride. i try not to get wrapped up in resolutions, but i like to Do A Thing on new year's day that sets direction or priorities or some third thoughtful thing. like, let's start this year on a bike ride, see where that takes us.
People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles along protected and dedicated cycling infrastructure on the streets of central London on a sunny autumn day.

London is fast becoming a cycling city. As each new piece in the network appears—which has more than quadrupled from 90 to 431 km since 2016—so do new cyclists. Its infrastructure now sees a stunning 1.5 million daily users—a 43% spike since 2019—moving nearly half as many people as the Tube below.🧵

As we continue to expand London’s cycle network, the number of daily bike trips is soaring. Cycling has risen by more than 40% since 2019 to 1,500,000 trips every day.

I actually just liked the look of it - though I agree that scooters should keep off the path.
Gisteren een nieuw NL record wind-op-zee: 105 GWh.
Daarvoor moet alles kloppen: (1) de hele dag veel wind, (2) van de Zeeuwse kust (Borssele) tot boven de Wadden (Gemini) en (3) beperkte productie uit zon en wind op land, zodat niet afgeschakeld hoeft te worden.

Women, dogs and scooters on the riverside cycle path - Yilan, Taiwan last week
I hate to fly because there's no solution to planes' global warming and none forthcoming.
But if you have family who live across the sea what do you do?
To see them I fly. I will at least take pictures out of the window. This shows in the distance the power grid near Incheon and Seoul, Korea.
This footbridge crosses a main road in central Taipei. The alternative is zebras at street level, waiting nearly two minutes for the lights. Out of a crowd, only two took the footbridge. I know why they built them (in Richmond too, where I live), but why do we hate them, and why didn't they know?

No wonder airports are being expanded.
Running on the beach after sunset last night at Châtelaillon-Plage, France

Due to winds, the ocean covered the sand at Jones Beach, NY. This is the day after, Aug 22 - the winds were still heavy. the ocean is hitting the beach fencing that has been partially covered with sand.

Bar chart showing that 70% of people want the rail system to be upgraded, and only 6% say expanding airports should be a priority.
Expanding airports should not be a priority. More people want to see investment in rail. Help us tell the government not to expand airports!

Port du Loiron, Angoulins, France, yesterday afternoon. A dozen cabins facing a little harbour, an umbrella pine.
I love France but... a charge of €49 to change your internet provider, apparently applicable to everyone, does not seem compatible with the idea of promoting competition.
If EU is not willing to abdicate its energy sovereignty, and keeps pushing for…
There are still 5 hard energy policy constraints that cannot be bypassed.
Ronnie and I remind you that core reality

Opmerkelijk weinig uren met negatieve (en zeer lage) stroomprijzen in juli.
Nauwelijks zomerse dagen en weinig (zee)wind speelt parten.
Het leidt tot een gemiddelde stroomprijs deze maand, maar liefst 30% hoger dan in juni (en in juli '24).
