"German electricity grid is today more weather dependent than ever" When no wind and sun, Germany sucks the power from everyone else, driving up costs Norway, Sweden, France, Austria, Poland sick of "paying the cost of a failed German energy policy" x.com/i/web/status/1…

No significant metro system? You simply don’t matter. You’re totally irrelevant.

Thank you for this one @British_Airways, you completely understand me. I will book another one. And another. And another. 😍✈️❤️

@WasteBadger Not 100% right but better than the absolute click bait dross written by an intern which BBC pumped out.

#BurningWaste is a dirty way to generate power – but it’s the least bad alternative to England’s broken #Recycling system buff.ly/3DQr4yv A much more informed article compared with most in this topic; but is it 100% right? #EFW #EnergyFromWaste #WTE #WasteToEnergy

But … but… you’re still one of the “Young ones”? Surely? …..

@CityWestminster @VeoliaUK I have added a few photos to this post from the early 2000’s when I started as a rookie.

@CityWestminster Of course this post would not be complete without mentioning my ally @VeoliaUK , the largest waste management company in the world, who were there with me every single step of the way. You had my back and allowed me to fly high. Higher than I ever thought possible.

And today? Today we celebrated this “little huge dragon’s” 20 years with the city. Today, the city and I looked back at a fantastic two decades together. The sun was shining and provided the perfect backdrop to the ceremony on the top floor of City Hall. 🧵
