Turning the clocks back in winter moves MORE daylight into that sleep window.

No mention of the cars and car drivers in both crashes, which were likely the primary factor making both crashes fatal.
E-scooters are dangerous, but the vast majority of fatal crashes are caused by cars.
Australia leading the world in the roll-out of Grid-forming inverters to provide stability services enabling the roll-out of more renewables.

Hopefully all of the papers do a deep dive into the 20 people who have objected as well as the law firm they’re using so they feel mortified if nothing else. Here’s one of them anyway…
