    1. World's tallest wooden wind turbine starts turning
      Wood and glue is better for the environment than steel, says manufacturer, and could see taller turbines.

    « [E]veryone agrees that transit through Ukraine must continue. But now that Turk Stream has come online [transporting gas from Gazprom to Hungary], a significant portion of gas flows has already been diverted. If another alternative route is available, Gazprom will be free to weaponize supply volatility against Ukraine. »

    1. Europe is under attack from Putin’s energy weapon
      By Peter Dickinson from Atlantic Council
      Moscow's Nord Stream 2 pipeline has yet to enter service but Russian President Vladimir Putin is already being accused of weaponizing energy supplies and attempting to blackmail Europe with high gas prices.

    Fiona Harvey, "Cutting methane should be a key Cop26 aim, research suggests" https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/30/cutting-methane-should-be-a-key-cop26-aim-research-suggests

    « Cutting global emissions of methane by 40% by 2030 is achievable, with most cuts possible at low cost or even at a profit for companies such as oil and gas producers. It would make up for much of the shortfall in emissions reductions plans from national governments, according to the Energy Transitions Commission thinktank. [...]

    Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in warming the planet. It is the biggest component of natural gas, used for fuel, and leaks can be caused by poorly constructed conventional drilling operations, shale gas wells, gas pipelines and other fossil fuel infrastructure. Methane is also flared from some oil production sites. »

    Peter Beaumont, "China hit by power cuts and factory closures as energy crisis bites" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/29/china-hit-by-power-cuts-and-factory-closures-as-energy-crisis-bites

    China increases coal transports to counter power cuts and failures in electricity supplies. Similiar dangers to electricity supplies and grid stability happened in California in August and seems to be about to occur in Europe should natural gas supplies stay low. Which is to be expected when you heavily invest in RE and phase-out nuclear and coal.

    Darrell Proctor, "California Will Add Gas-Fired Units to Increase Power Supply" https://www.powermag.com/california-will-add-gas-fired-units-to-increase-power-supply/

    [As California shuts down its last nuclear power plant (Diablo Canyon power plant) it is forced add natural gas fired power plants to meet demnads and grid stability. Which will lead to a steep rise in CO₂ emissions.]
