I find this quite astonishing! this chart shows the electricity produced using gas power stations from 2016 to 2024. Red means lower use of gas than green.
1⃣ Gas use has been dropped dramatically over the last 18 months
2⃣ Look at the impact of the pandemic in 2020
@NKniazhevich Our startup, Catalsys, is developing an off-grid power generator that uses green ammonia as a fuel to give zero-carbon power. We are targeting the construction industry but this would also be a perfect solution for power and cooling in data centres.
Investors looking for a unique way into the stock market’s artificial intelligence boom are finding an intriguing bank shot in what’s traditionally the most boring corner of the equities universe: utilities.

GB : Sutton Bridge is back !!! Starting commissioning today. Sutton Bridge is one of the Calon Energy plants that went into administration and stopped operations on 23rd July, 2020. It is planning commissioning runs this winter and then back to full operation in September, 2024. The exit of the Calon units (Baglan Bay, Severn Power and Sutton Bridge) removed around 2GW from the market and put a large hole in the generation mix of GB. With Severn Power scheduled to come back in April 2024 too this will provide useful extra MWs. ^PH

The smartphone market is in long-term decline. And companies are responding very differently to the downturn. Samsung is adding features such as ‘foldables’. But Apple is building services business to provide annuity revenue for the future. new-normal.com/consumer-deman…
Folks, it was not to be.
The Grand Central to Bradford I had been aiming for earlier had been cancelled, not merely started from Doncaster, due to vehicle issues.
I could make the 14:50 back, but it was cancelled too.
The Sunderland route had no good timings either.
Damn.

#OnThisDay 1920 Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher died aged 79. He joined @RoyalNavy in 1854 & over his stellar career was famous as an innovator. He revised tactics, introduced the Battleship and created the phrase OMG. He left after his second spell as First Sea Lord in 1915.
In 1990, the windshield of British Airways Flight 5390 came off at an altitude of 17,000 feet. This triggered a sudden decompression in the cockpit, resulting in the captain being partially ejected out of the aircraft.
As luck would have it, Nigel Ogden, a flight attendant, was on his way into the cockpit at that moment. He managed to grab hold of the captain and maintain his grip for over 20 minutes while the copilot attempted an urgent landing.
Although the majority of the crew presumed that the pilot had already lost his life, Ogden did not let go.
There was a prevailing fear that if Ogden did release his hold, the pilot's body might strike the plane's engine, wing, or stabilizer, causing even more chaos. All Ogden knew was that the pilot was gradually slipping more and more out of the window and his head was continuously being battered against the airplane's body.
Finally, after a distressing 20-minute flight with a gaping window, the aircraft was safely brought down at Southampton Airport. In the course of events, Ogden suffered from frostbite on his face, damage to one of his eyes, and a dislocated shoulder. In a miraculous turn of events, the pilot survived the ordeal, although he had frostbite and multiple fractures on his arms and hands.
