Critics say any federal support that props up the growing U.S. LNG industry will doom efforts to reach international goals to contain the climate crisis. interc.pt/3jm1zZF

There's just been an absolute whopper of a grid event on the Irish electricity system. Grid frequency floated around 49.75Hz for ~15 minutes! Back @ 50Hz now..
(I now see Coolkeeragh CCGT 425MW was the cause)
Never seen this (the duration of dip) in my 11yrs of working on grid

There WILL come a day when most climate activists and climate scientists find it repugnant to fly in planes.
Better sooner than later as it will increase the public's sense of climate urgency.

Is it time to stop thinking that environment should be compartmentalized? The issues can only be addressed if the 'environment' is in all departments. A bit like saying biodiversity can exist alongside farming whereas it must thrive again on, above and within all farmed land.

When the Covid lockdown ends and gas emissions reach a new peak, we have six months to save what we like to call 'civilisation'. But this is not considered newsworthy by those who dominate the journalism of power. Read this from the superb Media Lens ....

#oncethingsgetbacktonormal is trending. Resilience is sometimes described as how systems 'bounce back' following a shock. But for me it should be about how we 'bounce forward' to something better. The old 'normal' was a car crash, a disaster. We can, and must, do so much better.

We're in the midst of a #plastic pandemic. Humans now use an astonishing million plastic bottles a MINUTE... And at its heart, this is really a part of our deeper addiction to #fossilfuels. A great look at the sweeping scope of the issue from @RollingStone rollingstone.com/culture/cul…

Utilities around the US want to use renewable natural gas (RNG) as an alternative to all-electric power. However, "RNG is not as low-carbon as the industry claims and its local air and water impacts are concentrated in vulnerable communities," says @drvox ow.ly/c8XL50ymMCW
