Community ownership - protecting Scotland’s renewables from ‘harvesting’ by outside interests
A good start - or in 50 years a new variant on the McCrone report will be revealed - too late for us.

The McCrone report - for those who are not aware; a second rush for Wasteminster to grab and ship electricity south at a discount in underway.
Dominion Energy executives say they expect the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project to be completed and operational next year, despite efforts by the Nazi Regime to halt wind energy projects. #renewables #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #wind #ClimateAction

State lawmakers will try (again) to stymie renewable energy in Texas.
"AI Needs Your Help
Artificial Intelligence is facing a crisis: humans are consuming far too many precious resources that AI needs to thrive. Every sip of water you take and every light you turn on could be sustaining the AI systems that uphold your digital conveniences."
"States are moving forward with Buy Clean policies despite Trump reversal"
China Supercharges Clean Energy
Latest research by The Carbon Brief has shown that China’s clean-energy sectors – renewables, electric vehicles and batteries – drove a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product growth in 2024. Worth a whopping $1.9 trillion, the clean energy sectors have overtaken real-estate sales in value. This is expected to rise even further in 2025.
@kudra
They said they had too much power in the middle of the day
because of solar panels
Not one of them even suggest moving the offpeak hot water to the middle of the day
already exists and is a form of storage?
A battery isn't any benefit to a renter
cheaper power to heat the water at lunchtime
offpeak power is almost half my bill
would be a greater benefit to renters

Well, this will be a shoe-in. Great election promise, and likely will help Federal Labor too, because it's a very smart scheme and will bolster general support. Great to see.

Good to hear on the Environment Variables podcast with @mrchrisadams that there are organisations out there like Energy Tag who are pushing to fix our broken energy system.

Essentially the existing crooked accounting system allows energy companies to trade certificates so they can say to their consumers that their energy comes from renewable sources when the reality is they don’t and physically cannot.

Study: Countries across the world use more land for #golfCourses than wind or solar energy
- the good news: this means they can easily double their #renewables by putting #wind and/or #solar installations on every #golf course?! Starting with those owned by drumpf?
