@xanderai @paulg Actually it’s better to look at unit economics as total spending in past few years has included a lot of dev cost. Actual cost/yr to maintain current rate of interception incl depreciation is <10m. Long term I think we can get to ~2m/yr per percentage point of emissions cut. We

People in the west have no idea how rich they are If you earn >125 dollars per day you're part of the 1%

When you're angry at "the 1%" and discover you're actually one of them

Our new research exploring how plastic moves through vast river systems just commenced in the Amazon River in Manaus.🇧🇷 Just days into this research, we have already observed impressive transport distances (more than 500km in less than 5 days for some drifters).

And this is why the West should be deeply concerned by this chart. Held back by fossil lobbyists, electrification is being made too slow and too expensive in most western countries.

Stonehaven aren’t pollsters, they’re lobbyists, being paid by the gas industry to prolong unhealthy, dirty, climate-destroying boilers. As it happens, all electric homes are cheaper to run, better to live in and healthier. The gas industry know this and are shitting themselves.

“But surgeon, why bother removing the bullet from my body if it still exists after you’ve put it in the bin?”

This is how Interceptors 006 and 021 are working side by side in Guatemala to intercept plastic before it reaches the Gulf of Honduras.🇬🇹

One underappreciated fact about the ocean plastic problem is that plastic pollution is persistent in some places but not in others. For most of the world's oceans, plastic only persists for a few weeks or months before ending up back on land. In our models, we see that 80%

Capital Economics helpfully puts the post #Budget UK government debt market moves in context. There's been a rise in 10 year Gilt yields - a sign of market repricing in response to the extra borrowing - but nothing really comparable to what happened after the Sep 2022 Truss

Coal just stopped generating... that's it... The end of 142 years of coal fired electricity in the UK.

Location of our next Interceptor deployment - coming soon.

On September 25th, the first trash flood of the rainy season occurred on the Rio Motagua in Guatemala - Interceptor 021 stopped it from reaching the Gulf of Honduras.

During the first 8 years of The Ocean Cleanup, we collected 314,000 kg of trash. We're now collecting the same amount... every 4.5 days.

Something to really annoy the Net Zero sceptics again this morning.

At this point AMG’s electric cars sound better than their V8s. No exaggeration.

I love this… so will you! The carbon intensity of electricity every hour over 10 days in February 2022. 😮 🤯

In 2008, The Dark Knight was top of the box office, and I was a fresh-faced Energy Secretary. At that time we talked about an “energy trilemma” between security, affordability, and sustainability. But now the signs all point in the same direction - the sprint for clean power
