#biomass
It's a nice #SunnyDay outside and it really feels like spring. The #bees are busy making use of the #flowers, while the flowers are busy making use of the bees.
The #UK #ElectricyDemand is currently 32 GW and of that, 25.2% is coming from #SolarEnergy, 17.1% is coming from #WindEnergy, 16.8% is coming from #NuclearEnergy and 9.9% is coming from #Biomass and only 7% is coming from #Gas. There is also a fair amount coming from continental Europe through the various interconnections.

Right now, #FossilFuels are accounting for just 5.9% of the #UK's #Electricity generation. #WindEnergy is contributing 45.5%, #SolarEnergy 19.0% and #NuclearEnergy 13.9%. The rest comes from interconnects from continental #Europe and small amounts from #Hydropower and #Biomass. Some is also being exported to #Ireland.

I don't think burning #biomass is a sustainable source of #energy, especially if it's also a #health hazard.
