Renewable energy & anti‑Rosebank protest

Did feel like yelling to the motorists blocking the road to get into the petrol station "Wait till you get your energy bill lads"

Posts about a 5.740 MW solar array completed on a capped landfill in Rhode Island (mentions cleantechnica.com, #Erneuerbare #Renewable #GoodNews) and a Fossil Free London ‘Hold the Line’ protest opposing the Rosebank oil field decision.

The logic is simple: No one can "annex" the wind. No hostile foreign power can "turn off" our sunshine. When we transition to homegrown, renewable power, we stop being vulnerable to the price shocks and supply-chain bullying that come with global fossil fuel markets.

2026 must be the year we transition away from oil, coal, and gas. True security comes from home-grown renewable energy that serves communities. Demand that leaders reject the wars of the past and commit to a future built on peace, justice, and renewable energy: act.350.org/sign/no-bloo...

'having the capex to add more GWh of capacity decoupled from the capex of adding more GW' I feel like if we have a battery inverter installed already, control system, a busbar, we can add more lithium cells and increase the storage capacity. This won't have an effect on the battery inverter.

I fully agree. But when we are talking about national security - see original post - then energy supply is only one aspect. And remote attack vectors are another.

Can't help but wonder if the green energy revolution has allowed our elites to ignore the opinions of "allies" in the ME. I had been really looking forward to this new power balance but it seems there was a dark side I had not considered.

3/3/26, 04:43 PM
shorturl.at/CH5Kb Most Canadians see the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as a way to reduce risk of international conflict and boost our national security. Completely unacceptable for a country to take control of another country’s natural resources & annex land there.

i remember when i lived in northwest MO, the locals were upset about turbines springing up around them, mainly bc the power being generated was routed elsewhere, so they didn't see any decreases in their electric bills iirc the landowners only got a one-time payment for their trouble

Yesterday, locally generated renewable electricity covered 82.2% of total electricity generation in Austria. This corresponds to 75% of Austrian final consumption yesterday.

Long term we need to become independent of imported energy - and that means both more renewables and nuclear power.

The geopolitical chess game of energy independence is fascinating — every major shift in power sources rewrites the whole board. Solar panels as silent diplomacy tools? That's the kind of strategic thinking that keeps me up at night.

Along those lines, as oil is being destabilized right now, it sure is nice to have solar, a heat pump, and an EV! Fuck the fossil fuel industry and the corrupt petro-state BS we keep meddling with and propping up in the Middle East.

“Renewables offer a fundamentally lower level of commodity risk compared to imports of fossil fuels, and reminders of that benefit can boost stocks in that industry”

‘Hold the Line on Rosebank’ – campaigners target parliament as oil field decision looms [Fossil Free London protesters across the Thames from parliament hold a red ribbon and a sign saying Hold The Line #StopRosebank Rosebank] Campaigners from Fossil Free London formed a human red line along the riverbank directly across from Westminster on 3 March. All dressed in red, they held a long red ribbon and signs reading ‘Hold the Line’ and ‘Stop Rosebank’. The demonstration comes as the government prepares to decide the fate of the Rosebank [oil field][1]. It’s the [largest undeveloped oil field in the North Sea][2]. However, the [Scottish courts overturned its original approval][3] in January 2025. The court ruling demanded that the project’s primary owner, Norwegian state oil giant Equinor, [provide a fuller assessment of the project’s climate impacts][4] before any approval could proceed. Critics argue that burning Rosebank’s total reserves would produce [more carbon dioxide than the world’s 28 lowest-income countries emit][5] in a year combined. Also, the [vast majority of the oil would go for export][6]. So it wouldn’t be lowering UK energy bills or improving energy security. The Rosebank development would also [hand substantial tax relief from the public purse to Equinor][7]. Equinor’s profits flow largely into Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. A [share of profits would also go to the Delek Group, an Israeli fuel conglomerate][8]. The UN has flagged this company for human rights violations in Palestine. Joanna Warrington, spokesperson for Fossil Free London, said: > Whilst people across the country are watching their bills skyrocket and extreme weather events and climate disasters fill their phone screens: our government stands at a crossroads. > > At this point in climate collapse, approving any new oil and gas project is tantamount to climate denial. It is like a doctor diagnosing a patient with lung cancer and handing them a cigarette. > > A red line must be drawn. Kier Starmer, stop Rosebank. *Featured image via Fossil Free London* By [The Canary][9] [1]: https://www.thecanary.co/topics/fossil-fuels/ [2]: https://www.stopcambo.org.uk/updates/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-rosebank-oil-field [3]: https://www.iom3.org/resource/rosebank-oil-field-consent-overturned-in-scotland.html [4]: https://www.iom3.org/resource/rosebank-oil-field-consent-overturned-in-scotland.html [5]: https://www.ssb.no/_attachment/404602/ [6]: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/petroleum-chapter-3-digest-of-united-kingdom-energy-statistics-dukes [7]: https://www.upliftuk.org/post/rosebank-private-profit-public-risk [8]: https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/norway-equinor-sued-over-failure-to-conduct-due-diligence-re-its-links-to-delek-group-reported-as-operating-in-illegal-israeli-settlements-providing-fuel-to-idf/ [9]: https://www.thecanary.co/author/thecanary/ https://www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2026/03/03/hold-the-line-on-rosebank/

I agree - I think this is a key angle that the environmental movement misses. Why isn't green tech isn't ever framed in this way? Something like "of course we want to lead the way on green tech, given our nation's proud history of engineering" (I'm obviously not a comms professional 🙂)
