@FastScouse@Clainy6@Keir_StarmerOut "Motorists could benefit from cheaper charging costs through intro of solar canopies in carparks to save drivers money as part of gov Plan for Change.. launched a call for evidence to understand how to harness untapped potential of solar in carparks" https://t.co/1TOsMrBzcO
@FastScouse@Clainy6@Keir_StarmerOut "but there is will for this to happen"? There are already 10,000s of UK homes & biz which have solar (I'm sitting in 1 right now; not rich); & with more Gov Incentives, many many more would love to!
Labour Gov have will; Today news said will req supermkts to have on carparks..?
@EvOnTheLedge@IokSotto@Number10cat I don't think you understand what those of us who actually work on business with India (and have done for decades) are saying.
@Drhike4beer@unanganterese@jefftimmer They already had decades of being under resources, and agree, therefore they struggled. They failed far less than they will fail now given far less resources, expertise and talent.
@EvOnTheLedge@IokSotto@Number10cat 1. Tech Key to this 2. Not many UK nationals WANT to work in India (visits fine, good to learn on).
MANY Indian natls want to work in the UK. Fine, they are welcome (many are lovely, smart); but this should not undercut decent jobs for British people. India mkts not worth this.
1) @Keir_Starmer Claims that the numbers of people needing to claim PIP is “morally and economically indefensible”. No, targeting the most vulnerable group for cuts is “morally and economically indefensible”. The majority of those who will lose PIP are between 60-65
@JeremyWarnerUK Never used Audible, not used Amazon for years.
There is Audiobooks, or better, UK libraries offer Audiobooks on their "Borrowbox" app, and then we can ask the library to buy books (in audio form) that they don't have!
The Chinese EV maker BYD can now charge their batteries for 400km range in 5 minutes.
Once that technology moves west without tariffs it’s game over for big oil.
Why do you think Trump wants the natural resources in Canada, Greenland and Ukraine?
It’s not about oil.
@EvOnTheLedge@IokSotto@Number10cat I was "looking at" the main sector which the NI aspect of the UK India was about: Tech. Anyone who knows anything about UK-India trade should know that. 3yr limit doesn't mean UK jobs won't be affected
@Clainy6@Keir_StarmerOut My close friends place has had Solar panels 10 years. His power bill is near zero as he sells to the grid. So many rooves around here still don't have them, let alone batteries. So much potential for our Local Energy Security, at lower prices.
@Clainy6@morganewart9@Keir_StarmerOut I was going to like that after the first 2 lines but the 3rd line was awful, thoroughly unnecessary and unhelpful, and I do not condone. We are ALL learning in this just transition (even me who has been a proponent of Solar for decades).
@FastScouse@Clainy6@Keir_StarmerOut There are 100s of people in the UK and millions around the world who already solved energy storage. They bought batteries! And an EV, which is also a battery if urgently needed.
Cracked by solar, heatpump, battery, EV combo setups (& new apps by which 1 can charge at neighbours)
I am sat here in Greece on holiday and thinking, if all this talk about Green-energy is rubbish. Why do most of the houses here have a Solar panel on the roof to heat a tank of water free ? Why do people, factories, farms have them installed on their rooftops & land?
Who's lying
@nurseybird1@exRAF_Al more Indians arrive in the UK every year than the peak population of British people in India (including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal) during the Raj.
250k arrivals in 2023 vs 125k peak population in 1861
@nurseybird1 Eh? How many grits will go to work in India on behalf of Tata, JLR or Cadburys compared to how many Indians will come here to gain commercial experience?
