UK Winter Power Supply Stable But Early December and Mid-January May Strain Grid

Britain faces its lowest winter blackout risk in six years, according to the National Energy System Operator (NESO). This improved outlook is largely due to increased battery capacity that can store and release excess renewable energy, such as wind power, and the commissioning of a new subsea power ... [More info]

I remember many people (mostly white folks) telling me that I'm crazy & have no idea what I was talking about - when I told them that while Global North kept ignoring opportunities for shifting to more #SolarPower & more #WindEnergy to move away from #FossilFuels as part of longterm #EnergyProducing plans/infrastructure, China was going to kick global ass with their full investments on wind & solar #AlternativeEnergy. I said that in 1996.

China became the world's leading installer of #photovoltaics in 2013. China surpassed Germany as the world's largest producer of photovoltaic energy in 2015 & became the first country to have over 100 GW of total installed photovoltaic capacity in 2017. As of 2024, Chinese firms are the industry leaders in almost all of the key parts of the solar industry supply chain, including polysilicon, silicon wafers, batteries & photovoltaic modules.

#WindPower remained China's 3rd largest source of #electricity at the end of 2021, accounting for 7.5% of total power generation.
China is forecast to have 1200 GW of combined #wind & #solar capacity by 2030 as part of the government's pledge to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary #energy consumption to around 25% by that year.

Both wind & solar energy industries in China have created thousands of sustainable jobs as well. They have boosted the Chinese economy from within.

Where can I buy a machine that harvests energy from the movement of water molecules in the air?

"The shifting messages — in some cases, claiming the exact opposite outcomes — is baffling state officials and energy industry professionals, as projects once hailed as a benefit to the American people are now being targeted by the same agencies as a waste of taxpayer money."

#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.
