Point of no return: New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level, study finds Louisiana’s cultural hotspot could be surrounded by Gulf of Mexico before end of this century.

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

RIP Alex Zanardi; what an extraordinary person, only met him once but a genuinely very lovely and incredibly humble man for someone who by all rights could have bragged about anything. a testament to unbelievable human resilience and to how important safety should be taken

Excited to attend the ribbon-cutting for the next segment of California’s solar canal initiative later this month in Hickman. Imagine generating solar power over 4,000 miles or so canals across the state. A lot of Sierra and Colorado River water to save via avoided evaporation.

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars. I’ve asked TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads.

"20 yrs ago the world took a year to add 1 gigawatt of solar. Now it takes just half a day. Solar costs have fallen by around 90% over past decade, & as costs fall, installations accelerate. Nowhere is this clearer than in China 🇨🇳. It now accounts for well over half of global solar installations"

“It’s important we present, and create, an alternative.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @rachelmillward.bsky.social on the energy of hundreds of thousands taking to the streets at the Together Alliancemarch and the need to harness this to defeat the far right in local elections and beyond.

Britain smashed more renewable energy records last year. Wind delivered 30% of electricity, solar generation grew by 37% & UK emissions fell to 54% of 1990 levels. More clean power means more control over our energy security, bills and our future.

After two years off, Tom Scott is back with a new YouTube series: “I took a road trip through every county in England, and filmed something interesting in each of them.” [youtube.com]

Mark Zuckerberg, an outspoken critic of "man-made climate change", shows off his new $300 million, 287-foot mega yacht, powered by four gigantic diesel engines. What's that word oh yea hypocrite that fits .

#Scotland runs temporarily fully on #windpower, generating over 200% of its electricity demand, a remarkable milestone offering a real glimpse into a future where fossil fuels may no longer be essential. #Renewables cheaper then #oilandgas offering independence from stock exchanges and #DoanldTrump

I like this No kings rally sign

Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

Due to high geopolitical tensions, sports fans are temporarily required to contextualize their posts, for example: ❌ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK ✔️ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK how did he make that basketball go in the hole

When a government helps consumers by reducing the cost of fuel, THAT IS A SUBSIDY. Some of my taxes are being used to support disgusting fossil fuel companies so you can burn it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price electricity water clean air knowledge you name it they should be treated like the common thieves they are

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK. We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump. Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

Revealed: UK’s multibillion AI drive is built on phantom investments "...the money isn’t necessarily real, the datacentres may not be new, the jobs are unaccounted for – and the supercomputer site 12 miles north of London is still a scaffolding yard."

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

Apple's 512GB Mac Studio vanishes, a quiet acknowledgment of the RAM shortage "The Tech Specs page on Apple's support site still acknowledges the existence of the 512GB configuration, but both the Apple Store page and the list of available configurations have removed any mention of it."

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

Maybe it’s a British thing but they’re known as Nonce Goggles in my circle

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Tim Sweeney signed away his right to criticise Google until 2032 "He can't criticise Google’s app store practices. In fact, he has to praise them."

Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable. join.greenparty.org.uk

I predict this man has a very bright future. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Congratulations, pal. #WellDeserved

Richard Hammond Finds Out Who’s Fastest

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Confirming wind turbine construction status and vessel positions using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery 🛰️ Last week I added SAR imagery to my Dogger Bank & Sofia construction timelapse animation as a way to confirm when foundations and wind turbines have been installed and which vessels were involved.

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.

#channel4 #thelastleg Absolutely fucking brilliant tonight 👏

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country. It's got to hurt

U2 - Yours Eternally ft. Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is absolute right to call out Starmer’s complicity in the awful damage that drugs can do: his unwillingness to acknowledge the country’s biggest health issue or take on the drug trade is another example of his pernicious grifting and utter unfitness to be prime minister.
