The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."

A whole bunch of NIMBYs on Camblesforth near Selby have taken a hard L today. The people who wants Drax to continue to munch trees have been denied their Canadian old growth forest. Hopefully this will contribute to that tree chopper going the way of the dodo.

Evening before Thanksgiving, our ginger kitty (L) had a severe allergic reaction. Emergency vet saved him, but he wasn’t bouncing back like we’d hoped, and a follow-up visit for further testing revealed pneumonia. We would deeply appreciate help with affording his care. ❤️

Political parties should be focused on voters not donors.
For as long as mega donations like this are permitted, voters will rightly suspect that their interests come second to those of wealthy donors.
A donations cap would show that politics can’t be bought.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.
