What we all need to do is, whenever we see someone advocating for more gas etc, send them a screenshot of Kate Morley 's Grid page (tbf this one is for one particular moment, but there are also annual totals available):

A pie chart of contributions to the uk national grid showing that over half of the generation comes from solar power.

Meanwhile in GB:

Pie chart from Kate Morley Grid page showing solar power delivering well over a third of GB electricity. Pale green is wind power, about 10%, blue are nuke and biomass, about 10% each, and orange is gas, just under a third.

If you haven't discovered Kate Morley's Grid page I highly recommend it for the colour-coded doughnut diagrams.

A friend of ours has this amazing thing that peels, cores and slices an apple simultaneously. It honestly looks quite... mediaeval.

Behold #Renewables doing their stuff for our country!

My scribe has some fun and talented workmates. One of them was recently commended in a regional BakeOff. The theme, for reasons I can only speculate, was 'TACO'.

A full taco with all the trimmings - nachos, cheese, dips etc. But if you look carefully you can see it's actually a cake!

How grateful I am that this is just #GuyFawkesNight #fireworks and not something more serious. I am grateful for the trees, and the sports field in the mist and the moonlight and that I am safe, even walking around at night.

Vision Zero (i e. the pursuit of zero road deaths) is a thing. Helsinki achieved it last year. Here's some coverage in the professional press in the UK.
