In 1989 the Romanian president Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena were executed for crimes of genocide against their own people. They had also financially exploited the country Apparently the couple were known to be deeply stupid. Elena couldn’t write a complete sentence Reminds me of something

MPs call for emergency legislation for public control of Thames Water, let govt restore it and resell. Hedge funds want to takeover TW, want exemption from penalties for breaking laws. Neither will do. Profit motive is the cause of the crisis. Need public ownership.

#booksky Dignity is like a tonic against these dark times. Brown has beautifully painted a working-class community that has dignity in all of its corners. What I like most of all is that this is a humane story. Even the characters who do wrong are given the chance to achieve a realistic redemption

While fires rage in large parts of Europe incl UK, farmers face crop failure and livestock loss, every RefUK or Tory politician on the news must be challenged on their "let's do away with costly net zero nonsense" stance, side-by-side with live images of the cost of inaction. Expose the charlatans.

If data centers must be built then they should be covered in a skin of solar paneling & all of the waste heat they produced should be used to freely heat local homes. I doubt that they can be stopped but people power could force companies to them as energy efficient & community minded as possible

India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.
