a gentle reminder that wind farms are the best
Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.
Enough to power 23 million homes!
U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Friends, do I know anyone (or friend of yours) who could offer me detailed info on knitting when blind? I'm particularly looking for those who were born blind & knit, but certainly appreciate any perspective! (I imagine rule #1 is Be Very Organized.) Looking to interview, thanks!

After an extremely wet start to the week, the next few days will be somewhat drier. But blustery and thundery showers will still bring an unsettled week to many.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.

Can anyone think of any good studies showing that concrete changes to ENABLE active transport led to increases? I know London infra is often held us as an example, but it feels like a lot else changed at the same time. Any rigorous studies of Paris, for example? Or other places?
