We all know a diet soda with a fast food burger doesn’t make it healthy. So when Big Tech promises AI will solve the climate crisis – despite no evidence that platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot actually do – take it with a big pinch of salt. https://t.co/3tIbUdDmtO

Wind and solar have kept UK's bills down and made it less vulnerable to global shocks such as the US-Israel attack on Iran💡
Renewables deliver the goods for:
✅ energy sovereignty
✅ lower bills
✅ reduced climate impacts
✅ clean air

NEW | British wind and solar helped shield billpayers from hikes in gas power prices since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran on 28 Feb 🛡️⚡

Higher wind and solar output cut gas use, saving Britain around £7mn/day in gas purchases compared to the 2021-23 energy crisis 🧵
