Good to see the Farage party taken to task for being the neoblackshirt fraudsters they really are. Interesting too that it is the @greenparty.org.uk who are articulating the counter-strike while mainstream parties look tongue-tied vulnerable. @genn.cc

Fracking in the UK has been banned since 2019, after an Oil and Gas Authority report found "it was not possible to accurately predict the probability of tremors associated with the practice."

But Reform LTD want to bring it back because...
Corruption - they work for oil & gas interests.

In Scotland, around the Edinburgh and Glasgow region. 2. In the Midlands, around Liverpool & Manchester and across to Leeds & York. 3. In the southeast, beneath London from Hastings & Eastbourne across the South Downs to Portsmouth.$

Heat pumps remain the cheapest way to heat in Germany for 2025. Despite overall increases, heat pumps rise only ~5% and still beat gas, oil, pellets, and district heat on annual costs. Fossil systems are a long-term cost trap.

Amazon benefits from Trump’s tax cuts and attacks on labour; while the US government benefits from Amazon’s funding, political support, and provision of surveillance technologies.

Here we explain why our #BoycottAmazon campaign can go beyond disapproval of its UK tax avoidance:

District Judge Royce Lamberth in D.C. blocked the Trump regime's order to halt construction of the Revolution Wind project, stating that the project developers are likely to win their lawsuit against the regime and are “likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction.”

Judge deals Trump’s war on wind its first major setback

The temporary injunction comes amid the administration’s broader assault on renewables that threatens the electricity supply as demand skyrockets.
