Just ridiculous to destroy millions of trees that soak up #carbon, & take decades to be regrown. Wood pellets emit 150% more emissions than coal per kw generated. If carbon capture at the stack is feasible, then burn #coal, not #wood. apple.news/Ah9yLvu0XQ_G4ASsK…

A ‘Green’ Energy Project Leaves A Mississippi Town Gasping For Air

European climate subsidies funnel billions to wood-burning power plants that harvest trees from the U.S. South. The industry is taking a toll locally and globally.

Outrageous loss of trees & not counting the CO2 from burning them: Europe burns a controversial ‘renewable’ energy source: trees from the U.S. - National Geographic apple.news/AzRWNryqwROu_uRDr…

Europe burns a controversial ‘renewable’ energy source: trees from the U.S.

As world leaders pledge more action on climate change, one so-called solution—burning trees for electricity—could undermine progress.

The prelude to @BromptonBicycle perhaps?! This is part of the exhibition at ‘Pegasus Bridge’, Normandy.

This is utterly outrageous. There must be national pressure on @BorisJohnson to choose our health (and that of animals) over trade. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

No matter the investment in #cycling in #London, if you can't park at work, you're unlikely to cycle there. In @TfL's 5 office buildings 93.5% of occupants cannot cycle to work; as they can't park. Hypocritical? @RoryStewartUK @ShaunBaileyUK @SiobhanBenita @sianberry @SadiqKhan

When will #Government understand that there is a huge crossover between the ring fenced silos of Transport, Environment, and Health budgets?

€595 million is invested annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in just public health care costs alone. How smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath #Dutch

This is a Mayor with a vision. Paris, not London.
Carlton Reid@carltonreid29 Jan 2020
It has been revealed today that, to make space for cyclists, Paris mayor @Anne_Hidalgo will remove 72% of the French capital's on-street car parking spaces. 60,000 spaces to be eliminated. Updated article: forbes.com/sites/carltonreid…

Cavendish Sq underground car park has an application for a commercial & retail development, providing little cycle parking. This is a unique opportunity to provide a significant cycle hub, that's compliant with the Mayor's Transport Strategy. @willnorman @CarolineRussell

Here's the link to the planning application: idoxpa.westminster.gov.uk/on… If a cycle hub cannot be provided here, then where? There's no point providing secure cycle routes if scant few people can park! @laura_laker @MayorofLondon @peterwalker99 @theJeremyVine @sianberry
Amazing for #Paris. The lack of progress and ambition in #London is infuriating. Taken nearly 4 years to provide a draft plan for London that is bland relative to Paris.

Absolutely. Cycle infra offers huge return on capital, improving health and reducing the burden on the health system. And what’s #London doing?! No @MayorofLondon can make real progress until they control the majority of roads.
