"From 2010 to 2023, wind power delivered a benefit of £147.5 billion — £14.2 billion from lower electricity prices and £133.3 billion from reduced natural gas prices. If we offset the £43.2 billion in wind energy subsidies, UK consumers saved £104.3 billion compared with what their energy bills would have been without investment in wind generation.
UK wind energy production has transformed over the past 15 years. In 2010, more than 75% of electricity was generated from fossil fuels. By 2025, coal has ceased and wind is the largest source of power at 30% – more than natural gas at 26%."

SolarCloud is here!
If you always wanted #Solar panels but couldn't afford them or didn't have a roof to put them on, no worries, you can use SolarCloud.
Customers can buy one or more panels, starting at $139 each, and monitor generation 24/7 via SolarCloud’s online platform. Credits are applied directly to any Australian energy bill and remain transferable if users move or switch energy providers. #Australia #Solar #SolarPunk #Renewables #Climate

Chinese producers of polysilicon for solar panels signaled a turnaround in the industry after years of steep losses. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/27/tech/china-solar-silicon-makers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #solar #renewables #semiconductors #chipmakers #china
Green tech provides the cheapest energy? Great, we'll use it to pull more oil from the ground.

Rondo’s heat batteries require only six hours of the lowest-cost electricity each day to provide 24/7 heat.

"Ed Miliband approves UK’s biggest solar farm at Lincolnshire site"
"Ed Miliband approves UK’s biggest solar farm at Lincolnshire site"
"The projects will comprise 3 GW of wind power and 2 GW of solar power, with completion expected within 30 months."
Cost $2.7 billion, delivery time 5 years (with a lot of the power coming on stream a lot earlier) and a high likelyhood of delivering to plan.
Say it delivers 1GW equivalent of 100% Capacity factor source. Still pretty good value.
One of Japan’s leading prefectures for offshore wind power is urging authorities to reissue a tender for two critical projects after Mitsubishi Corp. withdrew from the planned developments due to rising costs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/17/akita-new-tenders-offshore-wind/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #emissions #energy #wind #akita #hokkaido #mitsubishi #renewables

A Chinese container ship has completed a pioneering journey through the Arctic to a UK port, state-run news agency Xinhua reported, cutting in half the usual transit time for the electric vehicles and solar panels aboard destined for Europe.
The new Northern Sea Route, running entirely through Arctic waters and within Russia's exclusive economic zone, can now be navigated by ships due to global warming.

♻️ Despite what’s happening in the USA, renewables are winning globally
｢ In the United States and the European Union, however, fossil fuel generation rose in the first half of this year. In Europe, poor wind conditions and drought, rather than state policies, took a bite out of the bloc’s wind and hydroelectric production, leading to a 14-percent rise in gas-fired power. Across the Atlantic, US coal-fired power generation rose 17 percent ｣
