Today is the launch of #NESO (#carbonfree #UKGrid). The key elements of its #strategy must be; 1/ #Decarbonization of all #Generating sources.
2/ #Electrification of Everything in our lives.
3/ Fostering #BehavioralChange in respect to Consumption, Efficiency & Sustainability.
Will they succeed with so many #grifters still in the picture?

#Ember are simply wrong about both history and the future. If the #UKGrid continues to be dominated by #Gas, #Nuclear, #BioMass etc., then all is lost in terms of the benefits of #ZeroCoal. It’s #Renewables (#Solar, #wind & #Ocean) and #BESS or nothing going forward. The #NewGrid is the only plan to #Decarbonize and #ElectrifyEverything in the #UK.

The Political Courage & Moral Leadership required to #Decarbonize the #UKGrid has simply not existed for decades. The #Tories are #CarbonGrifters, much less #Nihilists. Even with the huge financial benefits that #RenewableEnergy brings they could not break their allegiances to #FossilFuels, #Nuclear & #Hydropower. Will #Labour do better? Color me Doubtful.

Is this really the problem? In #truth, the #UK exports much of the #Electricity that it creates from #RenewableEnergy. You will not have a #NewGrid in the #UK until you stop this behavior. #ProTip: #OnshoreWind, #Nuclear, #Hydro, #BioFuels, #GeoThermal, #HydrogenGas ... will not solve it either. Throwing out the #Tories will go a long way however. #UKGrid.

While I get my head around things, here's the state of Gas Storage in the UK today.
(including Rough - which is 41% full)
