This is strangely reassuring, but wrong.

Racism allegations could derail right-wing populist Nigel Farage’s bid to become Britain’s next PM | CNN
Former schoolmates of UK politician Nigel Farage have publicly accused him of racist and antisemitic behavior during his teenage years. He denies the claims, but could they dent his rising popularity?

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.
