Luckily I don't think anyone cares about what he or any conservative says on this. They seem to think that just saying the opposite of what they did in gov will win back votes. I'm surely also they are taking the last dregs of fossil fuel money they can get.

China enlists solar panels in war to halt desert sands In arid northern China, dozens of workers prune goji berry bushes that stretch out under the protective shade of thousands of solar panels.

China is halting the expansion of the gobi desert by planting goji berries beneath solar panels.

The shade reduces heat and water stress on the plants.

Excellent

I wish that were true but I fear that the majority of people don't really read their policies and pledges!

Why every Sankey diagram you've ever seen is wrong The current debate over the Primary Energy Fallacy, has shone a light on the humble Sankey diagram. But what if those diagrams are missing something increasingly important?

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked.

In the 1930s Mosley and his rank and file BUF were careful not to outwardly portray themselves as racists.

They weren't antisemitic... far from it... they were just concerned about "bad principles" and "international bankers" and the influx of foreigners

Everyone knew what they meant.

If Biden had gotten tripped up momentarily and said "300 million million people die from drugs" before immediately correcting himself to, like, "30,000" or something it would have been news for days.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

I think they probably acknowledge he has ideas for the next steps to be taken that they weren't prepared to take just yet. I think its really positive in 2025 to see a government not just hire yes men/women.

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before - BBC News The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

Chris Mason is a profoundly unserious man who writes about politics as if it were a video game with no real consequences. True to form, this article is purely about optics. Not a single policy is mentioned

The track is such a disappointment to me from what I've seen (and ridden on the game) - the hungaroring would probably be better and probably just as safe even though it has still got tight run offs, the inside wall on the inside of the last corner is probably one of the biggest problems there.

Government sets out reforms to create a fair, secure, affordable and efficient electricity system Government confirms reforms to the national pricing electricity market that will create a fairer, cheaper, more secure, and more efficient energy system.

The UK government’s long-awaited decision on zonal pricing is out: zonal is NOT going ahead.

The focus instead is on better national planning on where to build electricity generation, and some incentives to build power where it’s more in need

URGENT: The Latest Senate Bill Is Worse Than Climate Advocates Thought Possible The bill could pass the Senate in the next 24 hours

I just published a story with @emorwee.bsky.social about the latest Senate bill.

The bill is much worse than climate advocates thought possible.

The window to stop it is rapidly closing. But to do that climate advocates need to speak up.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clearβ€” it wastes public money to NOT do it.
