@nature Short video of Ruffed Grouse /Bonasa umbellus in full display, posing in the and late afternoon ! I suspect he was displaying because I'd just been mowing: I think the sound of motors sometimes make them think another is drumming in their territory!
I'm trying Spectra as a fediverse platform- let me know how it works for you!
I'm posting to YouTube as well for non-fedi connections or anyone who likes that better for viewing!

From wind to steel, the future of clean tech industry has to be Made in .

We want to support the industry in building its model for decarbonisation. Starting this month, we will discuss with the industry the best way to do this.

Our industry is already a European success story, but it faces a unique mix of challenges.

That is why we will present a European Wind Power package to boost fast-track permitting and focus on access to finance, among others.

So

One power station will buy about a million cars. Most have a 300km range but most days go <30km.

So the mean available capacity of all these cars would run the for 24 hours using (Vehicle to grid)

This could be a massive share scheme with a couple of EVs on every street

Or

All the energy could come from or and the fills the gaps when there is no wind

We certainly need to spend the money now on to get and mitigate breakdown.

I assume you are talking about energy and found this.

But I would say embodied energy of renewables or is almost irrelevant as it is a one off. It's an investment so will reap a massive reward in CO2 reduction year on year.

However, cost is a real problem for nuclear. And in terms of scaling up fast, & seem best.

In terms of filling in the gaps in production we could do some fun maths. Imagine massive overcapacity and see what storage we need.

Just move the yellow and green lines up x3. This is a typical summer week but we could also look at winter months (less more ?)

An old folk belief in Ireland held that there are 12 different winds and each has its own colour

Also (from a different source) pigs can see the wind
