Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.
They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.
Leadership is knowing the way, showing the way, AND going the way…🇬🇧♻️⚡️👷👩🔧

Reminder that while Bluesky is eventually implementing front-facing pronouns (support was fairly recently added to the AT Protocol), you can subscribe to this labeller and both see other people's pronouns and (if you want) share your own

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.
But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it
