I'm an air traffic controller. I booked a weekend away but the airline was overbooked & I lost the money for the hotel. When I'm controlling that airline, I add extra track miles to their route. I've kept a chart & will stop doing it when we're even.

If you read Rowan Atkinson’s recent Guardian article on electric cars, you should read this complete debunking of it by @DrSimEvans. It was a litany of untruths and misleading claims. So much of it came straight out of the anti-net zero playbook, one has to wonder what’s going on

On Thursday #wind generated 51.2% of British electricity, more than gas 22.5%, nuclear 14.7%, imports 4.9%, biomass 4.0%, hydro 1.8%, solar 0.6%, coal 0.1%, other 0.0% *excl. non-renewable distributed generation
So the final figures are in! Yesterday, wind generated 20896MW in the 12:30 settlement period. That's OVER HALF (53%) of all of GB's electricity. Overall, it was a VERY green day - 70% of energy was zero carbon (Nuclear, Wind, Hydro, Solar & Storage)🌬️🍃🇬🇧🥳#netzero#energy
