Coal is becoming less #efficient 📉
Its increasing Energy Return on Investment (or EROI) means that a higher energy input is needed to generate electricity!

53.4% of all voters said they think the Government should be doing more to tackle #climate change
This was consistent for swing voters, Red Wall voters, and slightly lower for Conservative voters.

As more than $1B (just the start) is being committed to a new reactors, critics say #nuclear’s cost overruns, construction delays and safety concerns outweigh its benefits. /2

Today and tomorrow, @G7 #Energy ministers meet in #Japan – a country, often considered a “laggard” on #energytransition. What is 🇯🇵’s energy system like and why is it so reluctant to step up #decarbonisation of its economy? A 🧵 1/19

The “usual” arguments by the 🇯🇵 government when confronted with lack of both action and ambition on #energytransition:
1. #Japan is resource-poor
2. Japan’s geography limits #renewables build-out
3. Technologies & Innovation will solve the transition
How true are they? 2/19

Japan is indeed poor in some resources, most notably #fossilfuels. Fossil fuel based, its energy system is 88% dependent on #oil, #LNG and #coal imports. It has one of the least self-sufficient energy systems, dependent on #oil & gas from #MiddleEast & #coal from #Australia. 3/19

Little 🧵about #climatechange
I consider myself non-politically aligned; because I want to be able to talk to everyone about issues that I think are important. I do seek allies, and I have many. But they know, I'm willing to reach out to other people.

About #climatechange I do think it is serious, but I have actually read all the literature to be able to explain why. Most just yell stuff into the void.
I am worried about the tropics. couple billion people live there. Worried about water & Crops.

#climate for those who don't know, isn't just a sunny day in December or Frost in April... You see people post stuff like, how can it be #climatechange if... and then you see a picture of snow.

Of course, if these plants continue to burn fossil gas in 10-20 years, your successors will be the ones to blame, because they won't have implemented all the necessary measures to switch to H2.

Hey everyone, let's talk about the business model of #AdaniEnterprises! Adani is a diversified conglomerate with interests in a wide range of industries, including #energy, resources, #logistics, and infrastructure.
One key element of Adani's business model is its focus on infrastructure development. The company has a strong presence in the construction and development of #ports, #airports, and other transportation infrastructure.
Adani also has a significant presence in the energy sector, including #coal mining and power generation. The company has invested in a number of coal-fired power plants and #renewable energy projects to meet the growing demand for electricity in India.

1/ With all the talk about France's latest law on mandatory #solar roofing of car parks above 80 spaces, we think it's time to start talking about other symbiotic solar relationships 👇🧵
2/ Although car parks and roof buildings are optimal unused space in urban areas, there is also the need for #offgrid electricity ⚡ in rural areas which often rely on diesel generators when solar 🌞 PV isn't available.
3/ Also, climate change 🌎 is making #farming yields increasingly uncertain, and many farmers want to diversify their earnings to become more resilient

I often hear that #nuclear power and #renewable energy can't work together.
In reality: they can, they do, and they will.
And they must.

Nuclear power is learning new tricks to adapt to electricity grids with high wind/solar fractions. Let's talk about a few:
One of the core features of nuclear power is that a reactor can run at 100% power for 12-24 months without interruption. It's baseload power.
But reactors change power level all the time - for maintenance and when the grid requires it. And the modern grid *will* require it.
But reactors change power level all the time - for maintenance and when the grid requires it. And the modern grid *will* require it.
The nuclear industry calls it "flexible operations." If power prices are very low a reactor can reduce its power level to minimize grid congestion.
No control room in the world wants to change power if they don't have to, but nuclear (and coal) are learning to be flexible.

#Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2021 from @IRENA is out
