Cash in the Attic?

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

Maybe @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social if you need somewhere to put *road* signs for *motor traffic* you could suspend some parking bays and put them in the *road* rather than mostly blocking an already narrow pavement?

Torness nuclear power station beside green farmland and a fenced path on Scotland’s coast. Text reads: “Grassroots Scottish nuclear campaign has close links to industry lobbyists.”

🔴NEW: A group leading the push to overturn Scotland’s opposition to new nuclear power says it is “independent” and “grassroots”. But we found links between campaign and a lobbying firm representing EDF, which owns Torness nuclear station

It's essential that the decision to rip out the quiet route is now revisited. I have written to senior council officers to request this.

This demonstrates that the vote to rip out the modal filters and other active travel measures in the Braid estate was not only unjustifiable, but also arrived at by a tainted process which must now surely be revisited.

What's the beer? Asking for a thirsty friend obvs...

What does Cycling means to me..

• The feeling of being free to go wherever I want
• It has given me freedom
• Independence
• My bike therapy
• Peace of mind
• Strength — mentally and physically
• Escape from stress
• Confidence
• Adventure
• Time to think and reset

For a cycling audience, that steady climb is the real headline. Protected infrastructure didn’t just create a one-year spike; it reshaped travel behaviour.

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
