Next were natural gas combustion turbines, with 22, and natural gas internal combustion engines, with 21. Onshore wind had nine projects. Combined-cycle natural gas, despite having massive amounts of announced capacity in development, had just 3 projects that went online. The high tide of new gas plants won’t arrive for another few years. Credit: Paul Horn/Inside Climate News If we look at projects in terms of generating capacity, utility-scale solar led with 11,458 megawatts, followed by batteries, 8,207 megawatts, and then onshore wind, mostly because of the SunZia projects, with 5,473 megawatts.

Back in October 2020, the UK immigration minister stood up in parliament to reassure campaigners concerned about EU citizens who weren’t aware they had to ask the Home Office to stay in the country after Brexit.Using an example of a child in foster care who might not know they were an EU citizen until they applied for their first job, the Conservative Kevin Foster said the UK would take “a generous approach as to what reasonable grounds [for failing to apply] were”.In other words, the UK/EU Brexit agreement was designed to protect those who had exercised lawful freedom of movement,…

Ramsey stars in a new film about a cancer survivor who attends “chemo camp” and finds friendship, love and freedom.

I tested these straight from the packet, analysing the egg wash, type of crumb and texture. I scored on flavour, value, processing, sustainability (though most products lack…
