Really excellent @FullyChargedShw discussion with Prof @DavidCebon on the efficiencies of using hydrogen for transport and heating. Best it shows the direction to prioritise the uses of hydrogen. Well worth a watch/listen. youtu.be/JlOCS95Jvjc

Introducing a winter fuel price hike has been described as "inhumane" by @EndFuelPoverty. We think Ofgem need to take action. If you agree, add your name ⬇️ glplive.org/fuel-poverty-tw

This is in Coventry, not the Netherlands.
Took the kids and the dog to the National Bike Week Road Show @ Millenium Place yesterday. Here's a little video of our ride down some of the #coundoncycleway

Making sense of energy price rises is important. They’re going to be the cause of a lot of poverty in the UK, soon. So, I’ve been doing some analysis. What follow is a bit simplified, but not too much. What it reveals is that you’re about to be ripped off, massively. A thread….

This is amazing. Wally Funk is finally going into space!!!! I'm so happy for her.
Jeff Bezos announces on Instagram that the fourth passenger on Blue Origin's first crewed New Shepard flight will be Wally Funk, one of the women of the Mercury program: instagram.com/tv/CQyQ_asFQEO…

It’s broken isn’t it ? We’ve broken what we do with food . Pears grow in the U.K. They could grow in our gardens . We could walk out and pick them , wipe them and eat them . No chemicals , no processing , no plastic , no planes , no sell by dates . Just fresh fruit . God help us

A major victory for wildlife and activists: @BrewDog has announced that there will be no grouse shooting on the Kinrara Estate on its watch. The company is instead starting a programme of peatland restoration and woodland creation to help bring nature back to the estate. 👏

42 years ago, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was published (a rather significant number for those who have read it). Douglas Adams identified "42" as the answer to life, the universe and everything. A great science fiction writer. #thehitchikersguide #TowelDay

Replying to @bloggerheads
Simon Thornton groomed a 13-year-old girl, raped her for 3 years, then went on to become Tory mayor of Godalming like it was nothing. We're expected to accept nothing is amiss when a man like this passes party candidate vetting procedures without a blip: mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ex…
This is a long thread that I wish I didn’t have to write. The Science Museum Group @sciencemuseum is persisting with Shell as the major sponsor of their upcoming exhibition “Our Future Planet”. theartnewspaper.com/news/sci… independent.co.uk/independen… 1/n

Shame
Just so everyone knows, the reason the photos of the cages at the US border stopped appearing in the news isn't because the Biden admin got rid of them, but because media access is now completely banned
Now Bitcoin overtakes Argentina in annual energy use, and close to Norway

This is massive, and horrific. @NFUtweets is secretly lobbying the government to allow #neonicotinoid pesticides to be reintroduced after Brexit. It tells its members: "Please refrain from sharing this on social media." On the contrary, please RT. campaigns.nfuonline.com/page…
