A lot of applications this time, so probably just sloppiness in bulk. No need to attribute to malice what is explained by incompetence!

German Bundesnetzagentur complains that in its latest solar auction, "there has been a significant decline in the care taken by bidders.... errors in the completed forms, such as incorrect addresses, incorrect printouts and empty fields, can be avoided" and I feel their pain.

I don't think there is a major problem in the field of climate science - there was discussion, there's a paper, the consensus or wording may change. May there be many future positive adjustments to the outlook, due to flattening and then declining emissions.

There's a problem in a field of science if it can't adjust its assumptions or outlook based on new information, for political reasons. Long term it would be disastrous for the field. Climate science doing this should give people more faith in it, not less. (Yeah, but people).

I'm ok with not being informed about *all* the broken things in the world thank you :) but it's good!

Yes, but... the other thing activated the doomers and the "RE has achieved nothing" crowd. And these people are already terrible. I've come down on the side of "it is best to be as right as you can be, and also to acknowledge progress even while calling for much more".

Child is almost certainly making up words and confidently and consistently pretending they are Swiss German (which neither of her parents speak). Unless "Bossebuscherer" is really a caterpillar and a butterfly or dragonfly is something like "Marschiner".

This is definitely the most niche thing anyone is mad about on my Twitter today, so congratulations! Also, interesting.

Er, my tweet wasn't intended as sarcasm, and was intended to cut both ways. *sigh*

Yes, I hope we can go back to discussing how to achieve what we all agree on (how to limit climate change as much as possible) with a generally civil tone and good faith discussions of nuance.

Today, internal discussions using much data have concluded: - Spain is sunnier than Italy, to the surprise of no British holidaymaker ever - Italy has about twice as much installed PV as Spain (this actually surprised me, Italy was a slow burner while Spain was a flameout)

Anyway pretty sure a lack of roofspace isn't going to turn out to be the main problem with this energy proposal.

You mean like "None of this means we should be in any way complacent about climate change. As we see from the tragic bushfires in Australia, even 1C of global warming has catastrophic impacts. Quite obviously we should be redoubling our efforts..."

The 1.5kW systems are already being replaced, though largely because the subsidy was badly designed and the systems installed are a bit rubbish.

2018 figures are dodgy here. We have 6.5GW of residential and 1.6GW of commercial at the end of 2018. If that's 20% of roofs (optimistic as not every roof is suitable), and average system sizes double (conservative), that's roof for 81GW. Which is near enough.

Obviously I agree with all of this but also regret that the book was published before Spain's new and most interesting chapter, the surge of unsubsidised rooftop and merchant ground mounted solar projects!

Tbf most of the Aussie rooftop systems are far smaller than they could/ should be. There was a 1.5kW limit on some of the early subsidy programmes, hence early systems with 6-7 panels. A typical rooftop system size today is 5kW, or 16 panels (typical panel capacity also rose).

I feel the need to share this delightful page from "Eager" by Ben Goldfarb about how the Scottish beavers were reintroduced. "Paul and Louise may not have actively released beavers, but they hadn't managed to keep them confined."

Oerlikon Solar was sold to Tokyo Electron and eventually discontinued, iirc. I think the Sunfab was just discontinued. I feel sorry for the staff who tried really hard to make it work, but the companies just sold picks and shovels in a gold rush.
