Why We Went ExtinctIn <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nl</a>, big energy companies stop their investments in offshore wind, effectively halting the green transition. Due to big companies not moving away from fossil fuels, the demand for green energy is too low to guarantee that the increasing investments will be earned back. For the Netherlands, investments in offshore wind are necessary to meet their climate goals.

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayIf any part of the green transition depends on the global recycling of plastics, then we might s well give up right now.... nearly half of all plastics are dumped in landfill, while less than 10% are recycled. Around 20% or more (including some of the 'mismanaged') are incinerated, no doubt adding more pollution to our degrading atmosphere.We need a better solution to the one we are currently practicing!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GreenTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenTransition</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/plastics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastics</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recycling</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayWhile we are certainly seeing a shift to green energy in the UK, unfortunately because storage issues remain largely unresolved, we still contract for significant back-up capacity when normal (renewable) sources of power cannot meet peak demand.And those 60% of those back up sources remain fossil fuel assets....If you needed an argument why investment in network storage is required, this would be in it!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GreenTransition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenTransition</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/GreenEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenEnergy</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fossilfuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fossilfuels</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/28/uk-energy-bills-fossil-fuel-power-plants-capacity-market" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/jan/28/uk-energy-bills-fossil-fuel-power-plants-capacity-market</a>
