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.

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...

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?
