Die britische Regierung hebt den maximalen Vergütungspreis für neue #Windenergie-Projekte an, um Investitionen in #ErneuerbareEnergien zu fördern und das Ziel eines nahezu fossilfreien Stromnetzes bis 2030 zu erreichen.

Offshore-Wind darf künftig bis zu £113/MWh kosten, Floating-Wind sogar £271/MWh. Die Regierung setzt auf Wettbewerb, um den tatsächlichen Preis zu senken.

You may have missed (I did) that Shell & some other energy groups have left the business group Science Based Targets, that was seeking to develop an energy sector NetZero target, after it became clear that that such a target would require energy firms to stop developing new oil & gas fields...

Hilariously, the energy firms had been able to string along this attempt (no doubt used to reassure Govts that the sector was doing something) for six years before reaching this point!

The bloke who said the Black Summer Bushfires were started by 'self-combusting horse manure' is back, joining Barnaby to sabotage the coalition by opposing net zero. Both McCormack and Joyce spout a few lies in their tirades, notably the fallacy "Why should we address carbon pollution when China doesn't?". Erm, China is screaming ahead in that area, electrifying transport, clearing its air, planting billions of trees and building renewables. It is actually reducing emissions while growing its economy. We do the opposite. #auspol #netzero #LNP #China

Gerresheimer, a key player in pharmaceutical and biotech packaging, has earned a leadership score (A–) from CDP — far above the industry average — for its climate-related transparency and actions.
In our interview with Gerresheimer's Hanna Wagner we explore how their three-pillar strategy (GxPure, GxCircular, GxCare) is helping the company embed sustainability into product design, manufacturing, and supplier engagement.

The UK announces the final go-ahead on the £38 billion Sizewell C nuclear plant project.

The UK government, the largest shareholder in the project, said Sizewell C, in eastern England, will cost around £38 billion (€44 billion) to construct.

The UK has pivoted toward nuclear power since the start of the war in Ukraine, citing energy security, net zero and the need to modernise its ageing power stations.

I think what is spooking the bazillionaires is the approaching human zero population growth (oh, let's call it #NetZero!!) For the 1st time since the beginning of the industrial age, it looks like sometime in the 2080s world population growth will hit zero.

I suspect we really need to use "net', because it appears to be caused by… bazillionaires, via all the reasons you mention (plus farming us plebes with our pension plans, our retail investing) and induced #ClimateChange causing war.
