100% agree with you on this. Nothing winds me up more than people like Musk and Thiel contorting LOTR for their own attempts to dominate others. Thank you for writing it.

Their strategy hasn't been great politically. Focus has been on 'big stuff' offshore wind, CCUS, SMRs, pylons, NSIP solar, but 12 months have been wasted with no movement on the Local Power Plan. Thousands of communities could be progressing onshore wind, solar and smart supply with right support.

030

coppicejt.bsky.social @coppicejt.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

I just want them to announce the Local Power Plan details. There are thousands of communities wanting to be part of the solution being left on the sidelines. If there's bottlenecks with grid transmission and offshore wind, trust people and give them the resources to do community wind and solar.

coppicejt.bsky.social @coppicejt.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

It needs to be both at the same time of course, but people won't electrify if electricity is expensive.

030

coppicejt.bsky.social @coppicejt.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

I'm not so fussed. The fastest way to bring overall household bills down, and to save CO2, is for people and businesses to adopt EVs and heat pumps, rather than squeezing a few more % off grid carbon intensity. Grid is already clean enough for big savings if we ramp up demand side electrification.

How much of the food and eating out increase is secondary energy inflation? Energy input component of diesel and fertilisers, tractors, delivery vans, gas hobs, heating venues, electricity?

coppicejt.bsky.social @coppicejt.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

A lot of the light industrial manufacturing I've seen closed recently often haven't had any onsite solar or wind power. I wonder how much this would have made a difference to their viability?

Community energy allows local people to produce, consume and own energy where they live, together. It is incredibly positive to see community energy continue to feature so prominently in the delivery of the Clean Power Mission.

Already had solar farms in The Detectorists. Community Energy has better anecdotes. Better story is nimbys Vs NSIP solar farm developer for the jeopardy resolving in a shared ownership arrangement with nice BNG uplift.

100%. Trump getting elected didn't change the physics of the planet's atmosphere, nor the UK's geography of heavily depleted north sea oil and gas reserves and an abundance of renewable energy potential. Delivering climate action that benefits us all is how the UK will prosper.

Fun being invited on BBC Radio 5 Live this evening to discuss the news that Govt are considering grants/cheap loans to enable more people to install solar. It's welcome as a move to democratise energy; I'd be keen to see it part of a wider policy to involve insulation /heat decarbonisation though.

Love this image of the Bro Dyfi Community Renewables site. This was the first community owned wind turbine in the UK, and they've now added 300kW of Solar PV to the site. Every town and village in the country should replicate this combo.

A wind turbine stand next several rows of ground mounted solar panels, on a green grassy hilltop in Wales with hilly peaks in the background and a clear blue sky.

Incredible analysis of where the profits from the global fossil fuel crisis flowed to. If we repeat the same ownership pattern with renewables then the outcome will be the same. This is why community energy is so important!

Yes, typical annual energy needed to run a heat pump and an EV, and other home appliances. You'd probably need around 9kWh of batteries and a proportion of back up (bio)gas generation to manage the troughs and peaks.

Yes that'll be needed to match and smooth it out hour by hour @trystanlea.bsky.social has done some more detailed analysis including battery and gas back up here. Probably a 9kWh battery is enough? trystanlea.org.uk/communityene...

How much wind and solar do you need to power the average UK all electric net zero lifestyle? 🌍⚡ 2500kWh 10k miles of driving 2000kWh home use 4500kWh home heating 9000kWh total 3kW solar PV = 3000 kWh 2.6kW share of a wind turbine = 6000 kWh Around £5,600 worth of kit.

Might as well come out with it here on the samizdat site. I have a 500-ish page book on the carbon cycle over all of Earth and human history coming out next year. The cover looks like this. Will have more to say about it once I finally wrap it up soon and the publisher takes the bounty off my head.
