it now seems clear that GB Energy, to be set up in the next few months by the Labour Govt. will focus on expanding the provision of off-shore wind power generation, by working closely with the Crown Estates (already doing well from the sector) and seeking to de-risk investment in the sector.

Of course, off-shore wind in many ways is more expensive than its onshore version, but does side-step the planning friction(s) often encountered... but interconnection issues remain!

One thing I’ve often wondered about, but not seen data on, is whether offshore wind is more reliable than onshore? That could be a good reason to support the option.

Reliable in terms of wind being there to power the turbines, or reliable as in uptime/MTBF and frequency of maintenance? Wind is easier to model over expanses of sea as there is little to block it, cause turbulence or take the energy out. On land you need to factor the topology far more carefully, whether you’re placing turbines on the coast at sea level or inland on hills and moors. Putting turbines on hilly land does have the advantage of..

..raising the turbine blades into the faster and more reliable wind flow above 100 meters, whereas offshore turbines have at least part of their swept area close to sea level. Power output varies with the cube of incident wind velocity so tapping into faster wind flow really matters for power factors. Windy.com allows you to see separate wind layers and I’ve found that very instructive. It’s worth noting that a great deal of Scotland’s wind output..

..comes from onshore installations in the northern highlands. The highlands benefit over the rest of the UK mainland in that prevailing westerlies come straight from the Atlantic whereas, further south, the English west coast is sheltered by Ireland being in the way. We get the best winds from the south west, barrelling up the Irish Sea. The south west peninsula is similarly blessed but wind (offshore and onshore) has been held back there by NIMBYism.

The crown estates have also been slow to auction sea bed in the south west, perhaps anticipating the outcry, but there is also the problem of getting power out of the peninsula and onto the core grid. Notice that a whole new grid connection has had to be built for the 3.5GW coming out of Hinkley.

I'm all for more wind power but the Bristol Channel remains one of the best UK locations for reliable tidal energy.

I recall there were plans to build relatively low-impact tidal lagoons with smaller turbines, which would have been delivering energy fairly quickly, while the network could be extended over time depending on resources/requirements.

Not sure why the plan was dropped - Tory hostility to "green crap"? Instead they're still building another nuke.

I think one problem was the fixation on a massively environmentally damaging and colossally expensive barrage that would take decades to deliver any benefit to anyone except the contractors, if ever.

The idea of building smaller tidal lagoons that could deliver energy sooner with far less cost and damage, plus flexibility for growth and upgrades over time, seemed like a winner to me.

But perhaps not so tempting to the big contractors and their Tory mates?

do we have data on the MTBF of onshore Vs offshore? Operating something with moving parts in a salty environment is an engineering challenge.

I don’t know what the MTBFs are. All I’ve seen are descriptions of how each turbine is closely managed from shore. I believe the emphasis is on timely intervention to deal with any sign of degradation before failure occurs. The height of the newest 13-15MW units is such that spray is less likely to reach the hub and the insides of the nacelle. YouTube features maintenance visits a lot. The great thing is that, whereas repairs..

..on a thermal generating plant (coal or gas or nuclear) can take a large slice of it offline for months, the distributed nature of wind farms means that maintenance can be done on a rolling basis. Losing 13MW out of 1500MW is a mere blip. In the very worst case you can send in a ship, pop off the blades and nacelle, and have it back in action in days.

Ukraine is the worked example. They are building huge wind farms because their distributed nature makes them far less vulnerable

Home solar and batteries is even better for this but would require the UK put sensible amounts of solar on roofs not the G98 regulation driven 3.68KW (by comparison sunny Australia averages 9KW)

An onshore wind farm is also a lot quicker to build than a replacement coal or gas fired power station. And, yes, it’s interesting to speculate how the UK’s power system would look if a more significant number of homes and small business units had solar and batteries. A sizeable chunk of demand would ‘disappear’ on the DNO side of the meter and, with surpluses exported, grid demand would change.

Christine Burns MBE 🏳️‍⚧️📚⧖
Christine Burns MBE 🏳️‍⚧️📚⧖ • mastodon (AP)
The other thing we shouldn’t lose sight of is that further out in the North Sea, eg on Dogger Bank, wind is much more of an international effort. Big chunks of the North Sea are being turned over to wind farms and the companies operating them have the choice how to balance where they send the power and, indeed, how they distribute between adjacent wind farms. Outside national jurisdictions they are far less controllable by states.

Something else to add: All this wind farm rollout is proving beneficial to marine species. Fish benefit because trawlers aren’t allowed within the boundary of a wind farm. That gives them space to recover their numbers from over-fishing. Shellfish are also rather liking the piles on which turbines are built.

'Major prongs of Project 2025 have already been enacted': legal expert


Although Joe Biden on Sunday, July 21 dropped his bid for reelection, the president has promised to implement US Supreme Court reform during his final six months in office.

Last week, The Washington Post reported that Biden urged the Congressional Progressive Caucus on a phone call to "back his Court reform plan, which he hinted would soon be made public."

The president said, "I’m going to need your help on the Supreme Court, because I’m about to come out — I don’t want to prematurely announce it — but I’m about to come out with a major initiative on limiting the court … I’ve been working with constitutional scholars for the last three months, and I need some help."

Das geht leider gerade völlig unter: Die Frankfurter Polizist*innen, die in einer Chatgruppe übelsten Rassismus und Volksverhetzung teilten, werden nicht strafrechtlich belangt, weil es in einer geschlossenen Gruppe passierte und der "Belustigung" diente. https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurt/beschwerde-zurueckgewiesen-rassistische-polizeichats-nicht-strafbar-19857514.html
Um ein Verbreiten im strafrechtlichen Sinn handele es sich erst, wenn die „konkrete, durch tatsächliche Anhaltspunkte belegbare Gefahr vorliegt, dass der Inhalt an eine unbestimmte Anzahl von Personen weitergegeben wird und der Täter dies billigend in Kauf nimmt“. Dass eine Whatsapp-Nachricht leicht weitergeleitet werden kann, reicht dem Gericht zufolge „unter Berücksichtigung verfassungsrechtlicher Anforderungen“ nicht aus, um ein „Verbreiten“ beim Einstellen von inkriminierten Inhalten in eine Whatsapp-Gruppe anzunehmen. Artikel 5 des Grundgesetzes, der die Meinungsfreiheit garantiere, erfordere vielmehr konkrete Anhaltspunkte dafür, dass der Empfänger den Inhalt weitergebe und der Sender dies billigend in Kauf nehme. Im Fall der Polizeichats hingegen lägen keine konkreten Anhaltspunkte dafür vor, dass die Chatgruppenmitglieder damit gerechnet und es billigend in Kauf genommen hätten, dass die Inhalte weitergegeben und damit einer „nicht mehr überschaubaren Anzahl von Personen“ übermittelt werden würden, argumentierte das Gericht. Im Gegenteil: Ihnen sei bewusst gewesen, dass eine Weiterleitung vor allem der nationalsozialistischen und ausländerfeindlichen Inhalte dienstrechtliche Konsequenzen hätte haben können. Zweck der Gruppe sei es gewesen, durch Einstellen schockierender Inhalte die Chatmitglieder zu „belustigen“, führte der Senat aus. Darauf weise bereits der Gruppenname „Itiotentreff“ hin.

Beschwerde zurückgewiesen: Rassistische Polizeichats nicht strafbar

Im Fall der Chatgruppe „Itiotentreff“ hat das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt nun entschieden: Die fünf Polizisten des 1. Frankfurter Reviers müssen sich wegen ihrer rassistischen Ausfälle nicht vor Gericht verantworten.
