#StormChandra will bring severe gales to some areas on Tuesday with the strongest winds in the west ⚠️
Winds will often come from a more unusual southeasterly or easterly direction, so places usually sheltered will bear the brunt of the winds. Here's what to expect 👇

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.
This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

‘Agrivoltaics is not just a land-sharing concept, but a systems-level solution to some of the world’s most pressing challenges’
Scientists have conducted a six-sphere literature analysis of agrivoltaics, considering sustainability, soil–crop productivity, socioeconomic resilience, solar power generation, spatial efficiency, and species. They found that, under optimal terms, agrivoltaics may generate over $1 trillion in added global agricultural income.

"Single ship load of solar PV – which can ultimately deliver 170 terawatt hours of PV once installed, is now worth 120 coal carries, or 57 LNG tankers"
One ship load of solar PV is worth more to the grid than 100 ships of coal: IEA says fossil fuels losing race
One container ship of solar PV modules can make the same amount of electricity as 100 ships of coal, according to the IEA's latest report.
