  1. ‘Zombie’ electricity projects in Britain face the axe to ease quicker grid connections.

    The UK’s energy system operator is pulling the plug on hundreds of electricity generation projects to clear a huge backlog that is stopping “shovel-ready” schemes from connecting to the power grid.

    The backlog will be cleared with the aim of building a virtually zero-carbon power system by 2030.

  2. As the historic town of Leuven strives to become carbon neutral, it is transforming how its building are made – and demolished. Are there lessons for the rest of the world? #deconstruction #buildingreuse #buildingmaterials #recycling #reuse #zerocarbon #design #building #construction

  4. Two years ago, Transition group Zero Carbon Guildford moved into a former New Look high street store and transformed it into a buzzing community climate hub.

    Volunteers set up a library of things, community fridge, zero waste shop, baby clothes library, business network and a vertical farm growing salad crops.

    They ran cinema, quiz and open mic nights, a food waste feast along the high street, and a climate conversation group.

    They trained energy advisors and citizen scientists to test the local river’s water quality, and hosted dozens of groups from other communities who wanted to create a hub just like theirs.

    In two years, they reckon their projects have saved a whooping 583 tonnes of CO2 emissions from their community.

    It shows how people who are concerned can come together, and have a real, tangible impact and engage whole new audiences with some volunteer power and a meantime space. It’s why they won innovative UK climate project in the Climate Coalition’s annual awards this year.

    Now their lease is up, and they want to take Zero Carbon Guildford to a new home and the next level. They’ve set up a crowdfunder, hoping to find out what they could achieve with great capacity and a more permanent space.

    #YasmeenLari is Pakistan’s first #woman #architect. She designed iconic modernist buildings before initiating a #zerocarbon self-build movement for #climate #refugees and the landless. This #exhibition uses Lari’s oeuvre as an example to show how the relationship of architecture to the future has changed.

  19. What if destroying #smallBusiness is the unsaid purpose of a govt owned by mega #corporations?

    More nuanced than that.

    What if small businesses are maybe less efficient than big businesses, so in a #zeroCarbon future we cannot afford to have small businesses.

    So govt have decided to use the pandemic to close businesses deemed unworthy.

    In this context, is there a case for #GAFCAM and #Tesla to be #publicUtilities?

    If so, how should they be governed over by us?
