I write about this in Electric Wind. It was Blair’s govt who gave the Crown the right to licence offshore wind - (oil and gas and any other resources are licenced directly by govt).The Crown made more than £1billion last year alone. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The scale of these things, their beauty, purpose and optimism get me every time.

I don’t know how anyone could hate them. To me they’re beautiful signifiers of hope and progress.

Alaa and her daughters have lived to see a ceasefire, but they are still in dire need of assistance. They have only managed to navigate displacement, genocidal violence, and her daughter's deteriorating health with the help of donations. Let's help them continue to endure.
Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect
