Since 2020, 14 countries have consistently generated over 95% renewable electricity, according to Ember’s Yearly electricity data. In eight of these countries, electricity has been almost entirely renewable-based for over 20 years.

Renewable sources include hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, tidal, and wave power. In all these countries, the largest source of electricity was hydropower.

Sub-Saharan countries, however, use significantly less electricity in their energy mix compared to countries in Europe or North America.

Agreed. And in addition, consider the impact on fees (currently capped) if universities experience significant cuts in revenues. I am afraid the maths just don’t add up. https://t.co/hryntanvDO

Thank you, starting inflation on Monday!

If you think our 5.25% is bad, look at this.

Massive fiscal week next week. But with an election 12m away, don’t expect decisions to be too long-term. Personally I find it incredible that there is any talk of cuts, with 10%+ inflation having hurt our schools and hospitals. Can’t he spend it? https://t.co/3csxdzJl65

The UK soft drinks levy is linked to fall in child hospital admissions for tooth extraction according to new research from Cambridge University. Reformulation of drinks by manufacturers to avoid the tax must surely have played a role? More detail here: https://t.co/63SVO6Pqd5
