Aled Singleton @aledsingleton.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Energy supply is a huge issue, but it's hard to grasp what could actually happen in Wales and who could own it? These free workshops use serious games and participatory mapping to visualise energy supply. The second workshop will link up with northern Pakistan. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/visualisin... 010

Aled Singleton @aledsingleton.bsky.social · 12/05/2025After @welshcrucible.bsky.social Lab 1, I feel a clearer need for geographical research with a keen eye for the social and economic. There is a mission to help to explore renewable energy generation, how it is transmitted, and the dimensions of storage and end use. We have huge potential in Wales. 031
