Just thought you’d like to know Britain is humming along on 77% renewable power this afternoon https://grid.iamkate.com
🇳🇱
@christineburns Just a reminder charcoal and wood are considered "renewable resources"... renewable is not the same as green.
Thankfully here the renewable resources are also green resources.. my point is only that its a bad choice of breakdown IMO
@freemo @christineburns Since on of the named categories is biomass, surely those would call there in this case (i.e. the more specifically applicable category).
Yes that is probably what they are doing... im poiinting out that is incorrect... biomass is not an "other" it is a renewable, non-green resource so should either be under renewable or renewable should be renamed to green.
@freemo @internic @christineburns
I think it's fine as it is. Additional context given on the page under biomass:
"Biomass power stations burn plant material to produce steam to drive a turbine. Great Britain’s largest power station, Drax, is a former coal-fired power station converted to burn wood pellets.
[...] Drax imports most of its wood pellets, and a BBC investigation found that Drax was clearfelling irreplaceable old-growth forests in Canada"
@iaincollins the description is fine, and its really not the end of the world that its technically inaccurate..im just a nit picker for correctness on technical stuff is all.. in my head its renewable, so it should be under renewable.
