Insulating homes and equipping them with heat pumps better for cost of living and UK economy than drilling new oilfields, analysis shows theguardian.com/environment/…

Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests

Warm homes plan would create 50,000 jobs, compared with about 1,100 for Rosebank oilfield, thinktank finds

Ireland could power itself entirely - data centres and all - be completely energy independent, and with low household prices if we had gone all out for wind turbines, especially off shore. But we'd prefer to remain dependent on expensive imported gas. Again, no vision.

China’s wind turbines alone generated more electricity in 2025 than all of Japan. 640 GW of installed wind capacity is 4 times the US’s and 8 times Germany’s. This is not a target. It’s already built.

BREAKING: Northern Ireland Environment Agency pulls water pollution limits set for Dalradian gold mine, telling public inquiry chiefs they got them wrong. Asks (rather angry) PAC carry on regardless. “How am I supposed to do that?” says lead commissioner. #WatchBelow

The UK’s spy chiefs examined the impacts of the collapse of overseas ecosystems, under pressure of climate crisis and biodiversity loss, on UK’s national security. Their findings? “Apocalyptic.” UK defence and society at risk, impacts within 5 years. theguardian.com/environment/…

Why is the UK’s suppressed climate national security report significant?

Warnings about the catastrophic effects of vital ecosystems collapsing were not published under previous prime minister

Stormont protest for clean water following a fourth summer of toxic blue-green algae

A Lough Neagh fisherman has criticised politicians who are “out in force over a march, yet when the lough and drinking water is mentioned, there’s nobody to be seen”.

Construction capacity directed towards data centres driven by speculative, debt-driven market demand, rather than socially-necessary housing and infrastructure projects. The irrational allocation of resources in the name of the AI arms race. thejournal.ie/construction-i…

Top government adviser calls for data centres to be housed in purpose-built energy parks

The development of the contentious sector is the focus of a construction industry conference in Croke Park today.

"Southern Water fined £2.4m over multiple incidents of sewage pollution in Kent." That of course is on top of the £7.1 million they were fined back in July, the £90 million they were fined back in 2021, or the 107 environmental offences they've been found guilty of in the last 15 years. Really, what is the point? itv.com/news/meridian/2026-0…

The discovery of a 400-year-old will left by an English soldier has raised doubt about the true ownership of Lough Neagh, a new book has claimed. Dr Thomas Muinzer, a legal academic and author from Northern Ireland, unearthed the will of Sir Arthur Chichester (1563-1625) which was previously thought to have been destroyed in a fire.
