@jxson_95 @PME_Politics @SamMarkWill @Sanny_Rudra @northernassist Then why doesn’t their system charge a minimum of £12? If he’s entered the railcard the system should charge the appropriate amount. It’s the TOC’s fault, they haven’t applied their T&Cs correctly, I don’t see any option for him to pay the £12.

@mromani75 @JomauxJulien I think (hope) we’ll start seeing S&W developers co locate with long duration energy storage: https://t.co/QNvQTiwOE2

Check out my latest article: Contracts for Difference - what are the pros and cons for renewables developers? (And can long duration energy storage help?) https://t.co/jwIpc6cNzc via @LinkedIn

@duncancampbell Even better, more sun and wind and longer duration cheap storage #synchrostor

@MikeFay44 @rec777777 @colinwalker79 @Telegraph @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @GbNew No electricity in rural France? The horrors…

@elonmusk I'll tell you what is going on. You've succeeded in turning X into rabble rousing version of Truth Social.

I'm out. So long and thanks for all the fish.

Driver handed suspended sentence for cutting across and killing cyclist claimed he was “blinded by the sun” before fatal crash – despite motorist behind spotting victim

The judge said cyclist “should have been visible” and “had no chance at all”

@elonmusk This is desperate stuff. Give it a rest Elon. and please get off my feed, I have no interest in your disinformation campaign.

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@greenmattbfd I looked at this a few years ago - wondering if cycling was more hazardous because of less width on roads. Cars have been getting fatter (wider) for a while. If you extrapolate then eventually all roads will need to be made one way because cars will fill up both carriage ways!

@Richard_Dixon @DaveToke Interesting, they could certainly blow a lot of money on nuclear… they should be investing in the new technologies for decarbonising heat and long duration energy storage #synchrostor (ok I’m biased!)

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@RGurumurthy Thanks will have a look. Hopefully the plan includes investing in the emerging technologies in Long Duration Energy Storage which will be key to achieving net zero!

@elonmusk Jeez X has become truth social, I’m forced to get the owner’s partisan right wing political views rammed down my throat on my feed - and as important as the US is, I’m not a US citizen or voter and I don’t live there! Other countries are available!

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@UKSVacher @TheSolarShed I’m the same!

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince “I think discussion around severity of sentence can be had”. Obviously not if you can’t be arsed!

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince Well, either participating in conspiracy or a zoom call about the protest - you still aren’t saying whether you think the conviction is disproportionate - which was my point, and that of the UN Special Rapporteur, given he didn’t actually do anything else.

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince His sentence was for participating in a private “zoom call about the protest” as I said. If you think that deserves 4 years in prison, following 113 days also in prison - fine, I disagree. I think it puts us on a par with the some of the most unsavoury regimes in the world.

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince “Mr. Shaw has been charged with ‘conspiracy to cause a public nuisance’ under the Police,Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 for his participation in a Zoom call that discussed with the other
attendees of the call the climate crisis & a proposed peaceful environmental protest”

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince You’ve got it - it would be silly if it wasn’t true: https://t.co/wHsoJWbDGJ

[Max Carcas @Edinburgreen]

@guythomasholder @heatherpmuir @labourlewis @JustStop_Oil @ChrisGPackham @damiengayle @paulpowlesland @libertyhq @MPWatchNetwork @AmnestyUK @DaleVince Hmm but is the sentence proportionate? The previous maximum sentence was 51 weeks in prison plus unlimited fine. 4 years for one of those convicted for just participating in a zoom call about the protest is extraordinary and unprecedented.
