BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump declares that he is unable to be a President to ALL Americans, as he hates Democrats. "They hate Trump, but I hate them too. I really do, I hate them. I can’t stand them."

What a small, hateful man.

Corporate vs human welfare: The story of Drax There is no means-testing for corporate welfare payments.

Corporate Welfare.

UK govts subsidise gas, oil, wind, solar, coal, biomass companies with cash and/or tax breaks.

Since 2020, 20 energy companies made operating profit of £514bn, shareholders enriched.

We get big energy/tax bills.

Heathrow fire caused by preventable fault, report finds, as Ofgem launches investigation into incident – business live Root cause of fire at substation was ‘preventable, technical fault’ most likely caused by moisture, report says Akshay Kaul, director general for infrastructure at Ofgem, said: The North Hyde substation fire resulted in global disruption, impacted thousands of local customers, and highlighted the importance of investment in our energy infrastructure. As a result of the report’s findings, we have opened an investigation into National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET). We have also commissioned an independent audit of their most critical assets. This review has seen evidence that a catastrophic failure on one of the transformer’s high voltage bushings at National Grid Electricity Transmission’s 275kV substation caused the transformer to catch fire. This was most likely caused by moisture entering the bushing, causing an electrical fault. An elevated moisture reading in the bushing had been detected in oil samples taken in July 2018 but mitigating actions appropriate to its severity were not implemented. Continue reading...

The final report by the National Energy System Operator (Neso) into the incident found said the fire that cut power to the airport, affecting more than 1,350 flights and almost 300,000 passengers, was “most likely” caused by moisture entering the insulation around wires sparking the electrical fault.
