The next tipping point in the energy transition is approaching.
Overall, solar has already been cheaper than fossil power for a while, but upfront costs used to be higher.
That's no longer the case. Solar is now competitive upfront AND has vastly lower operating costs (no fuel).

We bought an EV years ago and have so far saved over $7000 in avoided gas costs. And our electricity is now free because our solar panels have completely paid for themselves in saved electricity costs.
My interest in the price of fossil fuels is purely political.
Humans are fucked up.

Trump says Starmer isn't Winston Churchill. "Winston Churchill did intervene in Iran and were living with the consequences of that today."
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

"Press barons can meet the prime minister, but the people who have suffered at the hands of them can't." Don't think that's right? Demand the PM stops cozying up to press barons and restarts the inquiry to put victims first NOW. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...
There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

"Andrew will move [out of Royal Lodge and] to the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk"
So - from one mansion to another! 🤬
Repost if you think Andrew should be moved here instead...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

Of course they do - it was only ever about corporate green-washing.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.
So Lib Dems and Greens between them higher in opinion polls than Reform, many more MPs and councillors, more votes in last elections. Yet between them get much lighter coverage. Wonder why?
How can MPs act with urgency on climate if they don’t even know the deadline has already arrived?
New UEA study finds public and politicians dangerously misinformed.
In a leaked recording, Jenrick claimed the lack of 'white faces' meant the neighbourhood was 'one of the worst integrated places' he'd ever been to.
