Try as they might, renewables are gaining momentum.
"Last month, fossil fuels generated less electricity than in any March going back at least 25 years, while renewables generated more."

Farage backed Trump's Iran War, pass it on.
Nigel Farage has said that he wants to move towards an insurance based healthcare system.
The NHS wasn’t built in Wales just to be a destroyed by Reform UK.
A vote for Plaid Cymru is a vote to protect and strengthen our NHS.
Farage claimed on LBC that the Speaker's office told him not hold surgeries and that he could not catch trains due to security concerns. The first one later admitted as a lie, the second one merely a deflection from his option for private chauffeurs sponsored by hidden donors.
This next stage of UK-EU relations won't necessarily be quick - but events are moving faster than we would have expected because of Trump. We shall see where they go from here.
My blog on UK-EU relations - we may finally be reaching the point of realistic UK debate on the options, now that more folk realise that there won't be special deals. Closer ties in particular mean pounds, people, and positivity ecipe.org/insights/new...
UK-EU events in Brussels today. Optimism in the air that goes beyond more unexpected sunshine.
And back in the UK Reform and Conservatives can only parrot "Brexit betrayal". Really time they were mocked mercilessly for not moving on from 2016.
In this moment of optimism for UK EU ties @anandmenon.bsky.social performs almost a public service in his grumpiness... bsky.app/profile/anan...
Political level momentum is obvious in UK EU relations, Trump obviously being the main driver. Under the surface are a lot of technical issues demanding far greater UK engagement in Brussels from government and business. ecipe.org/insights/new...
"There is no alternative to a strong UK EU relationship" is quite the message from the European Parliament President, and not one you would have heard in Brussels or London even six months ago.
Seems like @jreland.bsky.social is inheriting the grumpiness of @anandmenon.bsky.social... but on regulatory alignment he makes the very good point that this is actually very difficult
The EU is implementing new tax evasion rules to clamp down on it, but the UK refuses to act similarly. Does the Minister accept that this is yet another Brexit harm? Or does he see the evasion of tax by wealthy individuals and companies as a Brexit opportunity?
What is unfolding in the United States is not an isolated phenomenon. It is a warning of what happens when populism meets power.
With 150GW solar, India achieved its target of having 50% of its total installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, reaching this milestone 5 years ahead of its original 2030 deadline set under the Paris Agreement www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/10/i...
The lawsuit against Live Nation, the parent company of Ticketmaster, accused it of holding a monopoly over ticketing and concert booking.
This is brilliant news for young people in #CardiffEast and across the UK.
Robert Fico, the corrupt pro-Kremlin Prime Minister of Slovakia, is clearly worried by Orban's fall in Hungary.
He's trying to rig the electoral system in his favour, but many people in Slovakia aren't happy about this.
Things may be about to get interesting.

What brilliant news!!!
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
Last month the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggested governments should encourage car sharing, efficient driving and using public transport to alleviate the economic impact of war in the Middle East. Many governments obliged, but the UK, wary of potential criticism, did not.
🧵2/3
So terrified are Labour ministers of being thought of as “anti-car” that their belated acknowledgement that sharing transport is a good idea was buried in a blink-and-you-miss-it “strategy” document.

Brexit is an unpopular shitshow, global politics and priorities have changed and there’s now a majority of voters who’ve been resolutely scorned since the Brexit vote.
I dunno. Maybe tap into that demographic and see how you go. Or keep losing to Reform.

“The term ‘climate crisis,’ which carries with it a more urgent connotation than the more familiar ‘climate change,’ has nearly disappeared from media lexicon.”
🔥 🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social : “He’s looking at this picture and telling YOU that anyone claiming he’s being depicted as Jesus is a liar… it’s the behavior of an abusive partner.”
As I noted yesterday, if Labour had not lost so many votes to the Greens and Lib Dems they would be AHEAD of Reform in the polling and the narrative would look extremely different. I also suspect May will be Reform's ultimate peak in electoral success. But will Labour now be the beneficiaries?
