Future generations will never believe that the most powerful country on earth elected this imbecile twice, or that grown men, successful business leaders, fawned over him in public and prolapsed their dignity as if they were North Korean generals in fear of imminent execution. A sorry tale.

Gas, not renewables, is the biggest driver of UK electricity bills. Pricier gas explains nearly 90% of the rise in household bills since 2020.
Gas plants still set the power price most of the time. Cutting gas is the surest way to cut bills.

I have heard it from far better people than you and they were wrong too. What I enjoyed was seeing you running away from an argument about Brexit because you would rather talk about anything else. And I loved the smile being wiped from your face when the young woman tore apart your net zero BS. You’ve not nice suits and nice shoes but you’ve got
more chance captaining the Sri Lankan cricket team than you have of becoming Home Secretary.

And to the maga nasties out here who are suggesting I am not an American since I also have a Czech citizenship and therefore I voted illegally here in Florida. I got news for you. Melania trump is also a dual citizen- of US and Slovenia.
So yes-
I can vote, I have voted and will be voting democratic as long the GOP remains a party of pedophile and rapist protectors. Among other things.

Staggeringly nonsensical, disappointing guff from Hammond.
No 25-year old needs to go out and buy a £45k electric Kia (mainly because a perfectly good one is about £10k).
And no 25-year old can go and buy a Mk2 Ford Fiesta and run it on synthetic fuel. Because there isn't any.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump lashes out at NBC reporter:

Trump: “QUIET! Isn’t she a fresh person? You’re a horrible little reporter.”
(The reporter who press Trump on the sexual allegations was @albamonica)

I just walked out of my parents’ house in #Brinscall and was hit by the pungent smell of wood smoke.
PM2.5 is reading around 7 µg/m3 here, while most monitors across #Chorley are showing just 0–1 µg/m3.
People burning wood and other solid fuels are spoiling the air for their neighbours, often without realising how polluting it is. Marketing wood burning as “green” and “clean” hardly helps people understand the consequences.
Children are out playing in the street, too. They should be able to enjoy the fresh air without breathing other people’s wood smoke.
There is no known safe level of PM2.5 exposure. Even when background levels are low, adding smoke makes the air worse for everyone breathing it.
This is why local #AirPollution monitoring matters. A monitor several miles away could completely miss what people here are breathing. #Health #StopBurningStuff

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just met with all of Europe's leaders. Look at the reception he receives. Donald Trump would never.

How many birds are killed by offshore #wind turbines?
Study, initiated by the energy company Vattenfall, was carried out at the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm in collaboration with Wildlife Imaging Systems (WIS) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR).
WIS installed 16 thermal cameras on an offshore wind turbine, covering all angles and operating 24 hours a day.
Researchers analysed more than four million bird movements over one and a half years, using radar and AI-based cameras.
They found that more than 99.8 per cent of migratory birds reliably avoided the wind turbines.
