A screenshot from a website called 'Winderfull' which tracks the amouont of electricity generated by the UKs off shore turbines. At present they are prodiucing 62% of our demand.
Of course it doesn't always produce this much, but imagine how much gas we are NOT burning right now. (Wind has been generating over 50% of all our electricity for the past 3 days

Zuckerberg did one thing clever in his life, making a perving site he then pivoted into a site for your auntie to be racist on. Everything else has failed or he bought. He's not even proper evil, just an absolute dork with too much power.

How EV ownership could lead to lower energy bills for everyone:
This is a beautifully shot and edited episode featuring amazing electric speed boats on a stunning lake in Canada. Even if you have no interest in electric boats, Canada, future technology, or James May sinking in it, it's still a great watch.
