We have enough car parks to power the country. But more importantly, the car parks are generally very close to where we use the power, unlike the majority of farmland. If we add batteries and/or thermal storage, we could decentralise the grid.
Just to be very clear, if you're proposing to remove jewellery and belongings from refugee families, you're a cunt!

@leftiestats.bsky.social Saving this post for "when" the centrists lickspittle Labour supporters rewrite history and claim YourParty split the vote. Labour was already dead in the water.

Today marked 77 years since the Nakba — when 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes.

It never ended. Genocide in Gaza and land theft in the West Bank continue.

We stand for Palestinian freedom, return and dignity — and demand that the UK stops arming genocide.

A UK government minister has publicly acknowledged that the UK is taking an active military role in Israel’s genocide. NOT IN MY NAME!!! www.facebook.com/share/r/16h3...

Can't afford your rent?

This is vulture capitalism folks. This is neo-liberalism. We need to stop voting for it

For the hundredth time #HeatNetworks. What Industry should be asking is who is paying for my waste heat/carbon reduction
Why do we waste more than 2/3 of the energy inputs you may ask?

One reason is to do with the technologies we use: In conventional fossil fuel systems, significant amounts of primary energy are lost as waste heat during combustion.

Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy?
Whenever I post something on renewable energy on social media it never takes long for negative comments to arrive in my feed. One type of…

YouGov polling on the favoured ideologies of Britons has environmentalism out in front at 64%.

38% of Brits had a favourable view of socialism, whilst only 30% had a favourable view of capitalism.

NEW RECORD: 2024 is the first year in history when wind, solar and hydropower generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the UK.

It's very simple to solve. In most of Scandinavia, they made it illegal to turn off wind turbines. Now during any excess they store it thermally and use it later to heat homes. Here's one in Denmark that provides heat and hot water to 790 homes.

Castle Water bids £4bn for control of Thames Water. Private equity also interested.

This is money from A to B, not into infrastructure.

New buyer still wants high customer bills, dividends, low investment.

Only nationalisation can end profiteering, solve crisis.
