In 2018, turnover in the UK low carbon and renewable energy economy was £46.7 billion. The number of full time equivalent employees working within this area of the economy was 224,800 ow.ly/XmKm50xWQ3C
Accounting for around a third of turnover (£16.7 billion) and around half of employment (114,000 full-time equivalent), the energy efficient products sector remained the largest component of the low carbon and renewable energy economy ow.ly/7Oa330q9Tvx
The low emission vehicles sector accounted for 59% (£3.1 billion) of all UK low carbon and renewable energy economy exports (£5.3 billion) in 2018 ow.ly/3GsE30q9TwN
Total investment in the low carbon and renewable energy economy increased by 48% between 2015 and 2018 to stand at £8.1 billion. This was mainly due to a rise in acquisitions by the offshore wind sector - up £3.5 billion ow.ly/fW3d30q9TxP

OFGEM - the UK Government's energy regulator - are the biggest obstacle to making full use of #Scotland's #renewable #energy resources.

Energy policy is reserved to the UK Government, so there's absolutely nothing the Scottish Government can do about #Ofgem.

Thread: 1/x
Here's a BBC article where Ofgem have supposedly given the "green light" for the first ever grid connection to Shetland.

(Believe it or not, we're in 2019 and the UK has never bothered to connect #Shetland to the National Grid.)

2/x

Unfortunately, approval for the grid connection to Shetland is conditional on the UK Government funding a wind farm project there, which will in turn be conditional on being able to transmit power to the National Grid.

Catch-22.

Have just looked at the terms of reference website for Victorian Mental Health Royal Commission & wanted to share some thoughts about the proposed priorities & what I see as some gaps. I’ll make a thread here. engage.vic.gov.au/royal-commissi… #MentalHealthRC #SpringSt
Perhaps I should start by saying that just about everyone in Australia will have spoken, or will speak, to a health professional or counsellor about mental distress, so this is not a fringe issue or something relating only to those with severe mental health conditions.
Alternatively, most or all will support someone in mental health crisis, or indirectly experience the impacts effective or poorly-functioning services during encounters with neighbours, friends, schoolmates, workmates, etc.

Hi guys! @AtteHarjanne and me just published a paper "Abandoning the concept of #renewable #energy" at Energy Policy. In it, we argue that the concept of #renewableenergy (RE) is outdated. 1/

First, a link to the paper that should work until Feb 14:

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
What we argue here is that using what is basically a 1970s-era definition of renewable energy, and conflating "renewable" with "sustainable" or even "clean," is becoming more a hindrance than a help in meeting the main challenge of the early 2000s - #climatechange . 2/
We argue that the concept of RE was largely set in stone well before the magnitude of #climate challenge, and actual problems with some sources that are technically renewable, was understood. This has resulted to, e.g., using the "renewable" label to cover all bioenergy. 3/

I am going to keep on saying this at every opportunity in 2019
"It's not a plan without a workforce plan"
Where is the workforce plan for this?
From the Observer Columnn "The number of full time equivalent midwives working in the NHS rose by only 67 last year. In England, last year, almost 3,000 existing midwives left"

Last week, the prospectus for Springer Nature's upcoming IPO was published. Some high level coverage appeared here for example. ft.com/content/1d43d9… I'm scanning the underlying document this afternoon and will post a few key excerpts.
"...cooperation with partners includes our long-standing business relationship with Digital Science...with respect to software for the simplification and streamlining of the research process." [page 57]
"Holtzbrinck Publishing Group may also compete with Springer Nature through its entity Digital Science, which is its strategic growth division investing in early stage ventures in the research and science industry. All the businesses of Digital Science are publisher agnostic..."
