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).
@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.
@internic
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.
