A graph of low carbon sources over the last 20 years. Nuclear 9% (down from 17 in 2000) hydro 14% (very consistent) solar 7 and wind 8 (up from basically zero)

Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity.

Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.

The Futures aren’t Bright, the Futures are Orange   And in today’s financial news, a sharp fall in the competence and capability markets have led to a rise in dolour against such a pounding and a yen to return to a rational world.   The SADSAQ index has plummeted by a further 22%, following severe marble losses. Intelligence and acumen slumped by 34% and 45% respectively, while credibility tumbled, grazing both knees and fracturing its collarbone.   Elsewhere, the FFS 100 index has seen a 12% rise in incredulity, as shares in buffoonery and idiocy continue to soar in response to another record-breaking day for the US president at the laughing stock exchange.   Brian Bilston

This is called ‘The Futures aren’t Bright, the Futures are Orange’.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

Mr Zelenskyy. I fully support you. My support does not matter much, but its there.

Great news for beavers! 🦫

We are delighted to have received the first-ever licence for a wild beaver release in England.

We've introduced beavers at three places in our care through licensed, enclosed releases and have seen the amazing benefits these incredible animals provide.

From The Encyclopedia of Alternative Facts Frankenstein was the monster’s name.   There’s no such thing as climate change.   A solero is a type of hat.   The planet is not round but flat.      Six is the legal drinking age.   Women get paid an equal wage.   Elvis once sang in Take That.   The planet is not round but flat.      Achilles had a dodgy knee.   Terror comes from refugees.   Insomnia affects most cats.   The planet is not round but flat.      The president’s above the law. Russia did not start the war. It’s impossible to change a fact.   The planet is not round but flat.   Brian Bilston

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness.

If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.
