Great news. Dartmoor is an ecological disaster zone masquerading as a National Park, as its ecosystems have been grazed out by sheep. Now this must change.

Good work BBC with this explainer on why UK electricity prices are so high compared to our peers. Key reasons: 1️⃣ We're dependent on volatile gas prices 2️⃣ Network costs high: grid expansion far too slow 3️⃣ Costs to deal with polluting fossil fuels are loaded onto electricity prices - nonsensical!

'Blue hydrogen' is hydrogen made from natural gas, the friendly-sounding name for methane—a highly potent greenhouse gas. The fossil fuel industry hopes to inject it into the gas grid for heating homes. But it’s as bad as coal for the climate, as @kevinclimate.bsky.social and I explained here.
