When will GB electricity prices fall? I asked ChatGPT at what percentage of gas generation GB power prices start to drop and when that happens. The answer is from 2028. Gas still sets UK power prices most of the time even though it was only about 26.8 percent of generation in 2025. That keeps bills tied to volatile fossil markets. The shift comes when gas falls into the 10 to 15 percent backup range and when renewables and storage begin to set the marginal price instead. Wind rises from 28 percent in 2023 to about 52 percent by 2030. Storage grows from 7 GWh in 2023 to about 100 GWh by 2030 which is about 12 percent of daily demand. Gas falls from 33 percent to about 8 percent by 2030 and then drops to about 5 percent by 2032. At that point gas no longer drives wholesale prices. Projects like Thurrock which combines a 300 MW 600 MWh battery with 450 MW of flexible engines show the direction of travel. Clean. Reliable. Flexible. Wind is now the UK’s cheapest new power. With storage it will undercut gas entirely. Ninety five percent clean power by 2030 is credible. It is practical. It is affordable. It is already underway. The blue band in the chart marks the point where gas falls below the level that sets prices which is when GB electricity prices will start to decline. #NetZero #Climate #Energy #EV #HeatPump #BESS #CleanPower #OffshoreWind #UKEnergy

It was hotter in 1976 than it is now so these people spewing this nonsense need to sit this one out. Who remembers the heatwave in 1976? We had fun & lived to tell the tale

Just checking that most of us are still alive after a whole bank holiday weekend of hot weather? Please do check in and confirm that you and your loved ones have survived the heat apocalypse.

@ClimateRealists You're actually sounding quite desperate now. 13 weather stations surpassed the previous all-time UK May temperature record so are you going to quibble over all of them? What evidence will you accept that our climate has changed?

Whether it’s Kew Gardens or Heathrow Airport, they are both placed in the same Urban Heat Island vicinity. It’s just a question of one or the other, being hotter than the other.
Met Office@metoffice

Today has been the hottest day in May on record with Kew Gardens provisionally reaching 34.8°C - exceeding the previous highest May temperature in the UK by a full 2 degrees Celsius🌡️ This heat would be exceptional in the UK even in mid summer, let alone in May📈

@mwt2008 Not really Australia forgot about coal, focussed media on Methane and LNG and now most states can't decarbonize with EVs or Heat Pumps and simply increase emissions from coal. China has big interests in coal generation.

Gas provided the largest share of generation on Sunday at 23.6%, but there is an important bit of context: wind and solar combined already delivered 36.2%, around 1.5× more than gas. Now look at North and South Scotland at 0 gCO₂/kWh. That highlights an important point: parts of the UK can already produce more low carbon electricity than local demand requires. Scotland was already exporting heavily, but transmission constraints can still limit how much of that power reaches demand centres further south. As East Green Link 1 and 2 come online in 2029, another 4 GW of north to south transfer capacity will allow more Scottish wind power to reach England, reducing constraints, lowering curtailment and cutting gas use across the wider GB system. This is exactly why grid expansion matters. The clean generation already exists. The challenge is increasingly moving it efficiently to where demand is. The UK is also planning 94 transmission reinforcements to support around 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030. Coordinated network planning is expected to reduce constraint costs by ~£13.1bn while strengthening the system. The story is not that gas “won”. It is that the grid is still catching up with the pace of renewable deployment.

On Sunday #gas produced 23.6% of British electricity, more than imports 22.6%, solar 18.2%, wind 18.0%, nuclear 8.6%, biomass 5.9%, other 2.0%, hydro 1.1%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

@GeeksGolfers @apexncdaddy Deaths linked to coal PM₂.₅: A U.S. study (1999–2020) found that fine particles from coal plants caused 460,000 premature deaths among Medicare recipients, with coal-generated PM₂.₅ being about twice as lethal as other types of PM₂.₅ hsph.harvard.edu/news/particula…

Right. Just so we’re all clear. Farage and Reform tried to put me in prison because I backed the mass deportation of Pakistani child rapists and their foreign wives/relatives who allowed it to happen. My home was raided by armed police late on a Friday night as a direct result of Reform’s allegations. My guns were seized. They tried to ruin my life. In every way. Farage admitted on national television it was all because I backed mass deportations. He said that was the moment they realised they ‘had to get rid’ of me. Not the bullshit allegations they went to the police with, but the fact I want the Pakistani rapists removed from our country. He admitted it. That all happened. Fair enough. I took it on the chin, and planned out our next step. I founded Restore Britain to give the British people the democratic option to agree with me. Restore Britain will, without apology, deport every last foreign rapist and all foreign accomplices who knew it was happening, yet failed to act. If that means entire communities go, that means entire communities go. I really don’t care. We will rid Britain of that cancer. Now Reform are incandescently angry that we are giving the British people that choice. Deploying increasingly desperate smears against our movement. If people don’t agree, they can vote for someone else who won’t deport. There are plenty of options - Reform, Labour, Tories. Take your pick. Go for it. But if you want those evil scumbags out of our country, along with every foreign coward who enabled it? You now have that genuine option. Restore Britain.

Electric car sales rose to new records in nearly 100 countries in 2025 – and close to 30% of all cars sold globally this year are set to be electric Battery price declines & policy responses to the current energy crisis can add to EVs' momentum More ➡️ iea.li/42ODQXy

It’s been a really hot day in #Brinscall and many people are opening windows tonight to cool bedrooms down. PM2.5 levels have now jumped locally and it appears there may be a nearby smoke source, perhaps a wood burner, fire pit or garden fire. Whatever the source, fine particle pollution does not stay inside one garden or one house. It spreads through the neighbourhood and everyone ends up breathing it, including children and people with asthma or heart and lung conditions. #AirPollution #Health

Everything in the economy is downstream of just two things: Energy and Labor. When Solar + AI make both of them superabundant, we will see a "prosperity explosion" the likes of which humanity has never seen...We're just a few years away from a stellar future. Are you ready? ⚡
