The renewable revolution continues the long arc of energy history: efficiency beats waste, technologies beat commodities, and economics beats ideology.
Egy orosz tank, amely szó szerint kétszer is háborúzott Európa ellen – 1956-ban Magyarország, 2023-ban pedig Ukrajna ellen. Orbán eközben barátjának tekinti Putyint, és a Magyarország határain vívott háborút „valaki más háborújának” nevezi🤦♂️🤦♂️
Pete Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America.” A new strategic map — from Greenland to the Gulf of America — claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter.
We’ve built cheap energy but we’re still pricing it like it’s expensive. The UK uses a marginal pricing system, where the last (most expensive) generator sets the price. That’s usually gas. So even when most of our electricity comes from cheap wind and solar, households still pay gas prices. That’s why bills haven’t fallen. Getting off gas pricing is about fixing the system by reforming the electricity market so gas no longer sets the price, building storage so we don’t rely on gas for backup, reconnecting with European energy systems to smooth supply, reducing gas demand through insulation and heat pumps, and continuing to expand renewables so gas is needed less and less. Until we do that, cheap energy will keep being priced like expensive gas.
@CorbettDT @LizWebsterSBF @SarahLudford 1st, one needs to understand the concept of “marginal cost”. The electricity pricing model is built entirely around this idea and the economics behind it. So what is marginal cost?
