@Markos_mom @MT_Kilpatrick @shivmalik Maybe you’re a Russian funded agitator seeking to undermine the UK’s desire to solve its housing crisis.. who knows? Shiv’s a totally reasonable person, trying to make a positive difference and would happily discuss this but deserves the basic respect of know who he’s talking to

@rcolvile Go to Settings -> Apps -> Safari; scroll down to Tabs, and change it back to Bottom. Everything else is a minor annoyance; but this was a major one for me.

@TheDataCity does indeed already map this sector and the government as an existing customer has access to that data!

SIC was Sick, so we made it better! New product launch klaxon! ‼️

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

We invented a thing. It's quite clever. Yes it's partly AI. But not the hype kind. The real kind. And it uses hardly any energy. And it solves a very specific problem. https://t.co/nVXEscIo0O

[Tom Forth @thomasforth]

TLDR: one of the hardest things we do at @TheDataCity is find the websites of companies. Sounds easy. Isn't. Took us seven years to get our UK data as good as it is. Two weeks ago we decided to see if we could do the same for France in just seven weeks. Two weeks in,... we can.

[Alex Craven @AlexCraven]

@stauroulhs @shivmalik @ValDobson @Frances_Coppola But the real detail is in this report by energy Uk that represents the whole energy sector (not just renewables).. essentially saying if we don’t replace current situation with renewables then energy bills are going to dramatically increase https://t.co/UtjMmgW6Mx

[Alex Craven @AlexCraven]

@stauroulhs @shivmalik @ValDobson @Frances_Coppola Energy roughly 40% cheaper in Spain https://t.co/QK1FQfi2qm.

[Alex Craven @AlexCraven]

@stauroulhs @shivmalik @ValDobson @Frances_Coppola Sorry for delayed reply.. firstly thought this might help.. https://t.co/4WIN3wEdLN

[Max Roser @MaxCRoser]

Impressive to see how Spain transformed its electricity system.

Back in 2000, there was hardly any solar or wind and 36% came from burning coal.

Today 50% comes from renewables, 21% comes from nuclear, and less than 2% from coal.
