Renewable energy is pushing down wholesale electricity prices in Türkiye.
In peak consumption hours, renewable-heavy generation drove down wholesale prices by 23% compared to fossil fuels.
In lower national demand hours, the price drop was as much as 45%

having an owl on a banknote would honestly inspire me to pay for more things in cash
finally I'm a populist
am I the only person who likes the idea of animals on banknotes? Some Mexican peso notes have butterflies on them and they're really nice
pretty sure I'm the other O'Hagan :-)
Cost of net zero in the UK? £100bn
Cost of the invasion of Ukraine ALONE to the UK economy? £183bn
We rely on fossil fuels, which get stupidly expensive when there's international disruption. Getting to net zero is how to stop your bills, your shopping, your mortgage, your rent, from going up.
Very good piece here by @mathewlawrence.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
right? You stop paying attention for two minutes and by the time you've tuned back in again, Fergie is demanding every item of clothing is rewashed because she didn't like the fabric softener
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Reaching net zero would cost about £4bn a year, @theCCCuk found
That's close to £100bn by 2050
Roughly equivalent to the energy-related costs of the fossil fuel shocks that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

I'm reading the biography of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Fergie and the revelations are coming so thick and fast I'm struggling to keep up. I've barely finished being scandalised by one before it's onto the next
heat pumps good 👍
bills skyrocketing every time there's a major event bad 👎
Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available
Transitioning to clean energy faster would protect the UK from world events that raise the oil price :-)
Lol
It is my sincere belief that the architect for Tesco has never seen another building before

So far I think RE9 is maybe the best? Except for RE1, I don't think anything will beat playing that for the first time. Imo Requiem takes all the best bits of the previous games and fixes most of the flaws. I also really like Grace
The vampires and werewolves just didn't do it for me. It was so out of kilter. I also hated that items were really hard to find. Glad they've fixed that in Requiem. I did love the final bit with Chris though
With loafers!
We put a man on the moon but we can't invent a pop sock that doesn't roll down into your shoe
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
I reiterate that the moral panic around trans people was a canary in the mine for a lot of things we are now seeing that obviously threaten democracy
Got you. Thanks!
I don't, I take mefanemic acid on a full stomach for 2 or 3 days in a month
Mine is in north London but here are some accredited centres near you. Wishing you and your daughter the best www.bsge.org.uk/search/?geod...
I also want to note how supportive E3G has been, particularly my boss Ed Matthew. Having an employer that is sympathetic and supportive of health conditions makes a world of difference. It's also good for retention. You'll have to prize me out of E3G's UK energy team by my fingernails.
7. One of the best pieces of advice I got was from a friend with endo who said "you will figure it out." And I did. At first then diagnosis is scary and upsetting. But I found a way to manage symptoms and now I basically live a normal life. You can be happy, carefree and healthy with endometriosis.
6. You will be fobbed off a lot but keep the faith because there are good people in the NHS and you need to keep going until you find them. The state of women's healthcare is a disgrace and it will be an uphill battle but you will find people who will help and you will get there.
