A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.
A very smart country. ๐

We now have an entire media who would rather see a Farage govt, leading to the demise of the NHS and an alliance with the far right US Christian Nationalist fuckers than support the govt we elected And its drift towards EU alignment
Putin must be laughing his head off.
99.7% of EVs will never need a battery replacement.
Petrolheads can keep parroting โwhat about the battery?โ all day.
The real-world data says otherwise.
Tracking thousands of EVs built since 2022: Just 0.3% have needed a battery replacement (outside recalls).
Thatโs 99.7% still running fine.
We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.
We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.
This is what happens when the corrupt fossil fuel industryโs emissions add zettajoules of excess heat to the oceans (look it up).
"Reform UK has been plagued by vetting issues and vowed to clean up its candidates following a series of 'abhorrent' incidents."
"But The Independent has found that three of its candidates have professed extreme views on social media."
It is fitting that on Earth Day, 100% WindWaterSolar wins the day again.
21st straight and 87 of 111 (78.4%) days in 2026 with WWS meeting >100% of demand for part of the day on the California ISO grid.
Fossil gas use down 60.2% in 2026 vs 2023.
I am old enough to remember when that charlatan Farage said leaving the EU would get immigration 'under control'.
Now he says we must all lose our human rights, leave the ECHR, leave the Refugee Convention and deport 1m people to get immigration 'under control'.
And still some people listen to him
Another solar generation record set today in Britain.
14,426 megawatts were being generated at 11.30 today, delivering 37% of GBโs electricity and contributing to a record low reliance on fossil fuels. Gas accounted for just 2% of electricity generation at that time.
Oh, look. Another ad for electric vehicles,โ muttered the relic driver, towel missing. In infinite improbability, nothing is quite as heroically stupid as clinging to a smoky dinosaur-juice box while lightning #EVs glide by. The Guide: EVs โ mostly harmless. Gas cars โ mostly donโt panic. Evolve.
The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down โ ever.
This hasn't had a boost for a while
Our events in Glasgow and Edinburgh have sold out - sorry. But still tickets in Pitlochry and Dundee if you're quick.

Several European nations, including massive economies like Spain, France, and Italy, have done far less for Ukraine than they are actually capable of.
They have the capacity to do so much more.
The war is not over, and it is definitely not too late for them to finally step up

Despised by Trump, not quite trusted by its European neighbours: Britain is in a hard place.
My look at how, exactly, the UK could move closer to the EU. With thoughts from @lscazzieri.bsky.social and @davidheniguk.bsky.social

"The world is a different and much more dangerous place than it was a decade ago, we must be ambitious and realistic - Britain and the European Union need one another."

It has taken over five years of murderous chaos for Republican voters to start to see what was obvious all along: that Donald Trump should not be trusted with a box of matches, let alone the most powerful office on Earth. That's the power of propaganda for you.
Our future is IN the EU

โ A package of measures to be agreed at an EU-UK summit in July will, by the governmentโs own estimate, increase UK GDP by just 0.3 per cent over the next decade and a half.
๐ช๐บ It is time for this government to be much bolder on Europe, it is time to talk about EU membership.
Nigel Farage approved of Mandelson as US Ambassador. He offered to work with him.
It is preposterous and honestly rather shameful for Starmer to act so upset over the Mandelson affair. He is basically attacking Robbins for doing precisely what he wanted him to do inews.co.uk/opinion/unbe...
Quite apart from #Farage - again - turning a convenient blind eye to financial shenanigans, I can't help thinking that the, very unoriginal, slogan in front of Richard Tice evokes deeply unpleasant memories of someone best left utterly forgotten... ๐ก

Yup, having a globally competitive EV platform allows you to respond to market changes and... compete globally.

New research warns the Atlantic Oceanโs key current system (AMOC) is weakening faster than expected, with models now pointing to a ~42โ58% slowdown by 2100โpushing it closer to a tipping point that could trigger irreversible global climate disruption.
