@Annilou15 @Annilou15 It isn't happening. It's a racist conspiracy theory from a social media account that routinely spouts absolute nonsense.

@HighwaterEllen @nickwallis @jonsac @Glinner @ThePosieParker None of our public institutions are perfect, but statements such as "The police no longer investigate crime" are hyperbole that detract from the valid point you're making.

@IsabelMathiasPR Legend! 👍

@FarmingUK Annually the same (~2500ha) agricultural land goes to new build housing and solar farms. New homes on BMV land; legislation puts solar on low grade land. Ground screw solar mounts enable grazing and zero long term damage. Which is the bigger threat to food security?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.

Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.

Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.

Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.

Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.

Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.

La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.

Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.

Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.

Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

@saveoldmaltonc1 @yorkshirepost And unfortunately B.Crowther knows very little about hydro infrastructure costs. Not every little stream can generate power, so to be commercially viable hydro projects are large. Also 70% of UK land is agricultural and 0.5% is needed for solar. Food security will be unaffected.

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@saveoldmaltonc1 @yorkshirepost I concur with T.Brown about the decentralisation of solar generation, but his letter would carry more weight if he himself had rooftop solar. I think the previous government not mandating solar on new builds was appalling.

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@saveoldmaltonc1 @yorkshirepost 3 interesting letters. @saveoldmaltonc1 do you support J.Briggs proposal for agrivoltaics; where the land is dual use?

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@KathrynPorter26 @JimHigham @jamzefish @Telegraph "Wind and solar are the most expensive forms of electricity generation... Nuclear is the future." - Wrong, and Correct (if you're talking about cold fusion, but in the meantime we can tap into fusion power using... wind and solar!)

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@KathrynPorter26 @Telegraph "Initially this will only be with the consent of the householder but it might just be the start of a slippery slope" is yet another conspiracy theory from the credibility vacuum that is @KathrynPorter26

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@7Kiwi @robhawkes If you truly believe this will happen, rather than just spouting nonsense "for the clicks", you've zero credibility left. The SSES programme majors on customer opt-in; it's named Consumer Led Flexibility. Which you would know if you had done even a cursory online search. 🤡

@FarmingUK Pretty much what I expected: rage bait in the form of an unattributed, fabricated and unfactual quote.

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@FarmingUK "Once farmland is gone it's gone forever" - who are you quoting?

[Iain Woolley @iainwoolley]

@matoxley @BikeMagazine Looking forward to @NeilHodgson100 mentioning the weight of these bikes several times per lap, as he consistently did with @MotoEofficial .

@wolfie_smythe @NetZeroWatch As you're calling the scientific consensus "zealots", don't be offended if they call you an "idiot" for not knowing how insulation works.

@thinkdefence Suspect identified, apprehended and charged within 2 days of the crime. Sounds like they're doing a better job than usual. What do you want changed?

@IanStockport @glynhudson Yep, I'm focussed on the <40kWh/day houses so I didn't twig that Glyn was thinking of >120kWh/day. The cost to shift heat pump load to Go might not work for any size house. Heat battery is cheaper for small homes, and chemical battery for large homes never pays itself back.
