“Ofgem…said the amount of electricity capacity being requested by projects seeking to connect to the grid had risen from 41 GW to 125 GW in the past year, reflecting a sharp increase in demand.
This is significantly more than double 2025's peak electricity demand in Britain of around 46 GW.”
We have truly gone insane as a society if we permit this 😲🤬🤪🫠
"Britain’s food and water supply, together with its international trade networks, are “almost certain” to be “on a decline and collapse trajectory”; and climate change, habitat loss and geopolitical instability mean that the UK’s food security is “at risk of catastrophic failure”...potentially by the end of this decade."

Greed is America’s original sin. I used to think it was slavery and the genocide of indigenous people, but those things happened because of the underlying sin of greed.
Greed continues to be America’s most toxic sin. Corporations are legally required to be greedy (unless they’re nonprofits or “B” corporations). Exxon is a prime example. As Bill McKibben points out in an essay he published yesterday (on June 11), Exxon knew at least as far back as the 1980s that their business model would warm the planet and disrupt climates. “Given what it knew in the 1980s Exxon could have had a head start on building and owning the solutions like sun and wind,” Bill writes. “But, as one of Raymond’s successors said two years ago, that didn’t happen because ‘we don’t see the ability to generate above-average returns for our shareholders’ with clean energy.”

“Jonathan Hall,…the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said national security was potentially under threat from the arrival of people from countries where they might have experienced or even participated in violence, and that people had a right to be worried.
