Zooming a bit further up-river from Cramond Harbour, to a tanker moored at the terminal - while very picturesque in most ways, the Firth of Forth is also still a working river too, tankers, rigs, ferries, and sometimes naval vessels from the dockyards upriver still often plying this important waterway, which was old even when the Romans sailed up it.

Never has the issue of climate change been more urgent. The most recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, published on 4 April 2022, stated that drastic action was needed immediately in order to prevent a climate catastrophe that would mean millions becoming refugees and millions more suffering from malnutrition and famine.
This would require an immediate halt to any investment in or expansion of fossil fuel production. However, despite the stark warning, the UK government is determined to continue investment in North Sea oil and gas, seemingly dedicated to accelerating climate change..
Professor Jim Skea, co-chair of the working group at the IPCC responsible for determining the best measures for mitigating climate change, declared "It's now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5C. Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.'
Realising that years of petitioning and protests had failed to persuade the British government of the need for immediate and profound measures to reduce emissions, Extinction Rebellion decided to launch a week of direct action across Britain. In London, this started on the weekend of 9 and 10 April, with climate change activists marching through central London, for two days of protests which included sit down blockades of Vauxhall and Lambeth bridges. On Lambeth Bridge a group of doctors and nurses refused to leave and were arrested by the police.

June 15-16, 2015, Ovnhallen (The Kiln) - CBS, Porcelænshaven 20, Copenhagen, Denmark
In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, we organised our second TBLI CONFERENCE NORDIC event, addressing specifically the financial sector in Scandinavia and the UK. The program addressed topics relevant for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact - with a view across all asset classes.
This event marked the 30th TBLI CONFERENCE held since 1998.
As world leaders meet for COP28 (30th November to 12th December 2023), its time to take URGENT action against climate change to safeguard the planet for nature, wildlife, the natural environment and future generations.

Ferns that lived millions of years ago provide energy for us today. They, like many other forms of decomposed plants and animals that existed up to 300 million years ago provide Fossil Fuels that are located in the deposits beneath the earth. Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable. They take hundreds of millions of years to form under the Earth's surface. It will take another million years for more to be produced, so we only have a limited supply. Oil, coal & natural gas are non-renewable fossil fuels.
Entry: Incredible Plants Awake Challenge
My own texturing.
I could see this power plant from miles away. Even though it was in a different direction than where I was going, I couldn't resist driving out of my way to take a photo of its lights.
Natural gas is replacing coal-fueled power generators. But after gas, what is next in the evolution of power generation?
I was reading a story that California has its eye on creating the world's first hydrogen-fired power plant to replace ones run on fossil fuel. Hydrogen is the stuff that stars are made of. Water too. The problem is that it takes energy to separate hydrogen gas from its earthly molecules. If it takes more energy to extract hydrogen than the energy that the extracted hydrogen would give off, then what's the point?
BEFORE: Cooling Tower at thermal Bayswater Power Station in the Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia. Viewing the sun through the steam spoke to me of a coming generation, now with us, when electricity will be generated directly from solar energy.
NOW: I spent my day, today, contributing to the development of a major pumped hydro project that will draw on solar energy to store water in a reservoir 350 m above a lower lake. This pumped hydro project will stabilise the grid and provide electricity on demand in off-peak periods.

Poole Power Station, as seen from the town bridge in January 1980. Digitised from a Kodachrome-64 colour transparency.
As more than 40 countries represented at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow have pledged to end the use of coal for power generation, a reminder of when coal once formed a key component of the UK's electricity generation strategy.
Poole Power Station was built between 1946 and 1950 from locally produced bricks and began generating in 1950. It was originally intended to burn coal and could consume more than 1,000 tons per day. However, it was converted to burn oil in 1955 and remained in use until 1984. The twin 325-foot high towers were brought down in 1993, and the rest of the structure was demolished the following year. For the next 25 years it remained as the largest brownfield site in SW England, but has since been allocated for housing.
The Central Electricity Generating Board used to hold public open days at the power station, and I still recall being shown around the boiler and turbine halls, it must have been in about 1972 or 1973. We even got to peer inside one of the boilers - through a very thick viewing port!

Hasard Cheratte colliery is a former coal mine in Belgium that once played host to many thousands of Dutch miners at the height of its productivity. Today, mining has ground to a halt and the town’s periphery is dotted with the abandoned remnants of its prosperous past. This site contains a marvellous variety of buildings constructed in various architectural styles. The view you see here is from the vantage point of a 1953-era concrete tower, but the medieval-looking buildings below it date to 1907.

PL5 leads 48120/48137 east through East Maitland station with a loaded coal train from the Pelton/Austar mine. PL5 has long since been scrapped, as has 48137, with 48120 being the only one of the three still in use, currently serving as the Lithgow shunt engine. The Austar/Pelton mine has been in and out of service a few times since, with the mine currently closed.

The primary human source of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is from the burning of fossil fuels for energy production and transport. Another leading cause is deforestation, which is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all the world’s cars, trucks, planes and boats combined. In order to stop global warming, dramatic cuts in all CO2 emissions must be achieved: at least 25 to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020, and at least 80 to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050.
As long as the fossil fuel lobby has a free hand in Washington D.C. and the state capitols, the potential for renewable energy, such as solar power, will never reach its full potential.
The fossil fuel lobby's all-out push for fracking will permanently destroy our nation's landscape and poison our water FOREVER. It will be akin to a toxic nuclear effect without the radiation. Thus the meaning for the image shown here.
