My mother (now aged 93), who marched for civil rights and did lunch counter "sit ins," and for women's reproductive rights a half century ago, and then, alas, had to again recently, and who assigned banned books to her many 1960s-'70s students and fought segregation as an administrator. She rocks.

Did you know Scottish generators pay the highest charges in Europe to connect to the grid, while English plants get subsidized? We are penalized for producing green energy. It is a rigged system designed to keep our energy cheap for London and expensive for us.
