Accelerated grid connections for renewables
This sounds interesting/clever Is it basically that the DNOs are permitting them to connect to their distribution networks with some reinforcement of those first, whilst waiting for the transmission grid to be upgraded later? https://renews.biz/92858/uk-accelerates-connections-for-8gw-clean-energy-c...

Re: High density hydro
Mercury's a bit toxic though isn't it when it leaks! Water is a nasty thing though - it'll work its way through any seal, it'll damage any bearing, wear out any pipe, turbine blade and impellor given enough time.

High density hydro
Must admit I thought this would never get off the ground - but they're building a pilot plant for this pumped hydro system which uses some sort of high-density fluid instead of water to get more energy in and out of the system for less fluid volume than if it was "just" water. https://rene...

Fight the FUD

Re: PV so cheap it can be used as structure
This has vibes of "nuclear power will be too cheap to need to meter your electricity" Yes the falling cost of PV is absolutely essential, but then so is correct installation, correct orientation, avoidance of shade, and good quality wiring. If people just start vomiting out PV and pebbleda...
