@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social If Burnham annouces this he will lose Labour's left flank to the Green's and LibDems on his first day in office. How does this politically (let alone morally) make sense? It's mindboggeling how centrists dont understand this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Burnham expected to reverse ban on new oil and gas drilling
Incoming prime minister likely to reverse manifesto pledge and allow new North Sea licences, reports say

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

It seems the USA's 'manifest destiny' is to elect the very worst people among them and destroy the democracy they swore to defend.
'When solar and wind power are combined with battery storage, they can undercut new gas power, challenging one of the fossil fuel industry’s arguments against renewables: that they cannot provide 24/7 electricity when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.' www.euronews.com/2026/05/08/r...
Why batteries are changing the renewables debate

"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.
These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

#Spain receives more sunshine than any country in Europe — and it is building the solar infrastructure that geography always promised. Extremadura, Andalusia, and Castilla-La Mancha became the center where Spain added new solar capacity, racing toward its target of 74% renewable electricity by 2030

If we’re serious about clean energy, we need to fix electricity prices. Right now, the gas vs electricity gap is holding back heat pumps, EVs and more. In ep 4 of the Policy Fix podcast, our guests break down the policy levers behind electrification. 🎧: https://bit.ly/41K0PSY
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%
In just over a decade, Chile went from no utility-scale wind or solar at all to having more electricity from these sources than from all fossil fuels combined: In 2000, wind+solar provided 0% of Chile's electricity, fossil fuels 45%.By 2025, wind+solar had risen to 36%, fossil fuels fallen to 28%.
The richest 1% will get $117 billion in tax cuts this year, thanks to Trump. That’s more than the combined budgets of eight federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the EPA. Meanwhile, the bottom 95% will see their taxes increase. It’s clear who he governs for.
Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm reminded of these wise words from Mr. Fred Rogers on what would have been his 98th birthday. We are all in this together. Let's renew ourselves to the fight for the common good. It's all the more important during these difficult times.
