This week, there has been a whole lot of doom and gloom in the UK energy market. Harbour Energy announced 250 job cuts in Aberdeen, Ørsted discontinued its Hornsea 4 offshore wind project, and Drax opted not to bid for its Cruachan II in the Cap and Floor mechanism. Up first, news reporter Mat Perry discusses the UK's largest oil and gas operator slashing 25% of its UK onshore headcount as it downgrades spending in the country. Aberdeen Features Lead Ryan Duff gives his two cents on the state of job losses in the north-east of Scotland and the wider North Sea, brace yourself for explicit language.  Next up, Mat and renewables reporter Michael Behr discuss why Ørsted has pulled the hand brake on a major offshore wind project. Pumped storage hydro was also mentioned, as Cruachan II gives the cap and floor scheme a swerve after battery firms argued that the mechanism was biased towards such projects.  And finally, Michael chats with Guy Newey, chief executive officer at the Energy Systems Catapult about the ever-divisive zonal pricing debate and how it could help drive innovation in the energy sector.

This episode of Drinks and a Movie is blasting off into one of the most outrageous Bond adventures ever—Moonraker (1979). Roger Moore's 007 goes from Venice to space in a spectacle filled with laser battles, deadly centrifuge tests, and the return of the unstoppable Jaws. It's over-the-top, it's ridiculous, and it's pure late-'70s Bond fun.For a movie this bold, I had to pair it with a whiskey that packs just as much punch—the Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Uncut, unfiltered, and full of intense spice and caramel sweetness, this rye whiskey hits hard, much like the G-forces in Drax's centrifuge.Join me as I break down Bond's most out-of-this-world adventure while sipping on a rye that's as powerful as a Moonraker laser blast. Buckle up, pour yourself a glass, and let's talk Bond. Cheers!

CLIMATE ACTION SHOWProduced by Vivien Langford17th March 2025D O N ' T   B U R N   OUR   F U T U R E“The PM's Climate Speech we've been waiting for” from the SLF 2025 Join climate activists Violet CoCo, David Spratt and Mark Carter to view and reflect on the speech — that we all want to hear. They ask the government to safeguard the wellbeing of all Australians by responding at emergency speed to an honest, evidence-based, risk-averse assessment of our climate predicament. The panellists will discuss what that response could actually look like, why it is now necessary, and how it can provide climate-concerned Australians — those now despairing at current, demonstrably ineffective, national climate policy and actions — with a future they can demand.Remember with an election coming up:Pick your battles, Don't go alone, The Time is Now! Music by  James Brook featuring Violet Coco "Peoples' uprisinghttps://jamesbrook.bandcamp.com/album/yandoitViolet Coco https://greenagenda.org.au/author/violet-coco HEADLINES showing CLIMATE ACTION WORLDWIDE Our energy bills are torching the planetMarch 04, 2025 by Extinction RebellionActivists from Extinction Rebellion North and Axe Drax staged a banner-burning action on the day that tree-burning power station Drax announced earnings of over one billion pounds in 2024. The action called for an end to public money to burning trees for electricity. A spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion said: “Even the government's own advisors say we need to end burning trees in power stations by 2027. So the fact that the government has committed billions of pounds of public money so Drax can keep doing this until 2031 doesn't make sense. This decision needs to be urgently revisited.”  International Year  of Glacier Presrevationhttps://news.un.org/en/story/2025/01/1159236#:~:text=2025%20key%20initiatives,engaging%20youth%20and%20local%20communities.  Lakenheath UKhttps://extinctionrebellion.uk/2025/02/26/join-xruk-at-lakenheath-alliance-for-peace/Join XRUK at the camp organised by Lakenheath Alliance For Peace, culminating in a blockade of the largest US airbase in Europe:Where: Outside RAF Lakenheath, SuffolkWhen: 14–26 April 2025Militarism and climate change are catastrophically linked.

Separation related problems are commonly misunderstood, and the term separation anxiety is an unhelpful misnomer. Indeed our scientific understanding of separation related problems is rapidly being revised in light of new research. It is now clear there are four common forms of the condition, which represent different responses to the frustration that arises when a pet is left at home. These are typically described as a Exit frustration relatedb Reactive excitedc Reactive inhibitedd. Boredom related, inhibited-conflicted If you think your dog might have one of these problems, you can find out more by using the App we developed with ZigZag and Tech4Animals, just visit  https://separation.zigzag.dog/In this episode we discuss the nature of separation related problems as they applied to Drax and the implications of a more scientific assessment. We also explore the role of attachment. These dogs are not hyper-attached (even if they follow their owner around the whole time), rather what is seen as hyper-attachment is often a sign of insecure attachment. The owner's behaviour is important in this regard, but it is not the only thing driving the problem. It is not the owner's fault. Effective intervention involves individualised treatment, so if you want to learn more listen to the episode, and please don't forget to share this with others. We'd really appreciate it if you could give us a rating if you have enjoyed the show. #petbehaviourodysseys, #whatmakesyouclick #PBO

Good news for tree huggers. Bad news for the perps of Hamasgate. Green skyscrapers, invisible killers and Trump's exploding straws. Great audience questions give us Dale's new motor, diamond lessons and Ian gets a roasting - while X-rated corner makes some sense! What is happening...?

In the previous episode, we explored Becky and Craig's initial experience of seeking help for Drax, the challenges with finding a professional service and the strain associated with having a loved one with behavioural issues. In this episode, we  look at  how we tend to structure our pet behaviour service, especially with regards to identifying where clients are in relation to what is known as the Cycle of Change. This views change as a process not an event and there are several stages involved. It begins with contemplating change (before that we are in a state of precontemplation and thus not considering changing); we then need to help clients make the necessary preparations for change (e.g. developing key skills they will need)  if we wish them to succeed making long-term changes; only then are they in a good state to take action (which is what most behaviour advice texts  focus on); finally we need to consider the support required by clients to help them to maintian this action. We take this "process perspective" of change and thus do not rush into action straight away. It is important to us that clients appreciate this process and what is involved, and we recognise that this is not necessarily the way things are done by others. Our first consultation is very much focused on helping owners understand the nature of the problems they face, managing risk and laying the ground work for change. We can only help clients if we can help them build their capabilities and motivations, while enabling opportunities for them to develop the behaviours needed to help their pet.  We elaborate and discuss this furtehr in this episode. We hope you enjoy the episide.#petbehaviourodysseys, #whatmakesyouclick #PBO

In this episode we pick up from where we finished Episode 1. We discuss in more detail the minefield that is the unregulated fields of animal training and behaviour.We explore Becky's and Craig's experience of seeking help from various sources for the behaviours that Drax was exhibiting. We discuss how things progressed; but more importantly, how they each felt on this part of their Odyssey. We highlight the stresses and strains associated with owning a pet with problem behaviour and introduce the listener to the value ofa validated ‘pet caregiver burden' questionnaire. Milly and Daniel discuss how important this can be to us, as clinicians, in hleping us understand the nature of the stresses felt by a client, and how this can shape the focus of  the assistance we give as a result. We illustrate this by discussing the results of the questionnaire which Becca completed for us. This described how she felt before coming to the Lincoln Animal Behaviour Clinic, and also how things changed as we made progress. This not only helped us, but Becca also explains how important this was to her, Craig and ultimately Drax too!You can read a bit more about the questionnaire here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1558787823000576Footnote for those seeking professional support: If you are in the UK and would like help with your pet's behaviour, we encourage  you to seek professional advice.

Episode 1: Welcoming a dog into your life – the Odyssey beginsIn this episode we introduce you to Becky, Craig and Drax. We find out how Drax came into Becky's and Craig's life, including the emotional background that so often underpins the decision to acquire a pet. We discuss their love and joy with Drax during these early days in their home, before they felt that things were not turning out quite how they had expected and hoped. Their love and commitment persisted, but the joy became tinged with sadness and frustration as they started to feel there was a problem that was seriously impacting  their quality of life. This led them to navigating  the unfamilar and unchartered territory of training and behaviour, as they tried to  get professional advice and support. Who should they turn to for help? Footnote for those seeking professional support: If you are in the UK and would like help with your pet's behaviour, we encourage  you to seek professional advice.

The Monbiot episode? Well, it was hard to avoid some mention of the extraordinary attacks, sparked by my public comments on Heat Pumps. Our school dinner campaign has bled over (wrong choice of words?) into the NHS - I've been advocating for more tax (again) and then we talk Drax (the actual one) and the bonkers plans of the last government to buy trees from far-flung countries - to feed the beast. Our listeners chip in with brilliant contributions - not least X rated corner - I think I love these guys...:)

Golden State Natural Resources, a non-profit organization, is partnering with Drax, a U.K.-based energy company, to propose two new factories to turn biomass into wood pellets and an export facility to ship the pellets to be burned for energy in South Korea and Japan. If approved, the mills would be a major expansion of biomass energy in California. Forest and climate advocates warn that biomass like this results in more carbon emissions than coal and could worsen forest conditions by driving the commodification of public lands. Humboldt's own Supervisor Rex Bohn sits on the board of Golden State Natural Resources through his service on Rural County Representatives of California, which provided the capital to start Golden State Natural Resources. Rita Vaughan Frost of the Natural Resources Defense Council and Gary Graham Hughes of Biofuelwatch join the show to discuss the proposal and the risks it brings for our forests and climate. Learn More!https://news.mongabay.com/2024/06/burning-wood-is-not-renewable-energy-so-why-do-policymakers-pretend-it-is/https://news.mongabay.com/2024/05/uks-drax-targets-california-forests-for-two-major-wood-pellet-plants/https://www.nrdc.org/bio/rita-frost/why-wood-pellets-wont-solve-californias-wildfire-problemSupport the Show.

Burning wood to generate electricity – ‘biomass energy' – is increasingly used as a renewable replacement for burning coal in nations like the UK, Japan, and South Korea, even though its emissions are not carbon neutral. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast, reporter Justin Catanoso details how years of investigation helped him uncover a complicated web of public relations messaging used by industry giants that obscures the fact that replanting trees after cutting them down and burning them is not carbon neutral or renewable and severely harms global biodiversity, and forests. Catanoso lives near biomass industry giant Enviva in North Carolina and has reported on their practices extensively, including the claim that they only use sustainable wood waste in their product, which his investigation disproved. Though it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this year, it remains the single largest producer of wood pellets globally. “When those trees get ripped out, that carbon gets released. And that comes before we process this wood and ship it…then we burn it and don't count those emissions.  This is just [an] imponderable policy,” he says in this episode. Read Justin's coverage of the UK biomass firm Drax and their attempt to open two large wood pellet plants in California to ship 1 million tons annually to Japan and South Korea, where they will be burned in converted coal plants.
