I've had an EV for 3 years now. They're FANTASTIC. I would NEVER go back to a fossil fuel car. Charge up at home, no problems. I save ££££££ on feeding greedy fossil fuel companies. And more importantly, I don't spew out cancer causing fumes out of my rear end!! octopusev.com/ev-hub/commo...

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.

Local election results are trickling in and we're already seeing the chaotic effects of First Past the Post. In Wandsworth, the Tories are the biggest party and are one seat away from a majority on just 31% of the vote. Meanwhile, Labour got 34% of the vote - and fewer seats.

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

John Curtis corrects BBC narrative. Greens, not Reform taking Labour votes & seats. Reform taking Tory votes. Good people: don’t despair- this isn’t a bad morning; the game is still on. To continue the Green surge support, join, vote @greenparty.org.uk . If you already do, consider monthly donation.

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”. The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough 🎉 Sir David has dedicated his life to conserving the natural world, educating and inspiring millions in the process. A huge thank you for bringing the wonders of wildlife to us all.

One of David Attenborough's best speeches. Today we're celebrating the 100th Birthday of the humanist and naturalist David Attenborough! Thank you for a lifetime of inspirational broadcasting and devotion to science and the natural world.

This, another million times. The problem is no greater than it is for any minority group in this post brexit Britain. This just happens to have more focus right now, and why? Because of the atrocities of the Israeli government and their enablers.

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

Hilarious. Some guy claiming because his family history extends back to the Crusades, he should be involved in governing the rest of us. And claims that we’ll forget history if we oust him. ALL our family histories go back that far… www.channel4.com/news/the-end...

After reading this newest essay of mine, one of my readers said via email, "This is probably the best article I've ever read advocating for UBI. And one of the best you've ever written." If you haven't read it yet, please do. Maybe you will feel the same way. 🎲 www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

Clear your mind for moment and understand this. We are altering the very #climate of the planet in a way that's dangerous for our own survival and the stability of our ecosystems. With only a few exceptions, our politicians are not only looking the other way but actively making the problem worse.

Rejoining the EU Internal Electricity Market would restore efficient cross-border trading, reduce energy costs, and support investment. The EU recently authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the UK regarding our participation: this is a practical step to cheaper, cleaner energy.

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.
