Session
Britain has an invisible clean energy graveyard. Over 3,800 clean energy projects have been cancelled in the UK since 2010, representing enough capacity to power millions of homes. This talk presents the Clean Energy Graveyard - an open-source python pipeline & interactive web visualisation that transforms the government's Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) into a story about what's blockoing out energy transition.
