Could do better is right. We have ~36GW of installed wind capacity in UK, while Germany embarrasses us with 70GW! Source. Source: over 1 year ago

+1 Climatebase.org is a great resource. https://climatescape.org/ is another good one Some newsletters/communities I find helpful: My Climate Journey on Substack and Work on Climate More generally, I think a lot of industries, energy included, are a lot farther behind in software development than one might think. There's still a lot of "basic" SWE stuff to do, especially with all the new startups that are... Source: over 2 years ago
