It’s really good news, this - and I’m also encouraged by the positive reaction from Europe (below is just one example). Maybe we’ve turned the corner and can finally begin to put the last decade behind us.
📽️ There have been many scary, unnerving days in this latest Gulf war.
But the past 24 hours was particularly bad.
Why? Because both sides are now causing lasting damage to the world economy's life support system.
Our latest primer on the econ consequences of this war👇
In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism.
It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.
On days like today, it’s important to remember the words of Jonathan Miller when challenging the dog-whistling of snake-oil salesmen trying to divide us for political/personal gain & Billionaires hoarding wealth offshore to avoid UK tax while claiming to be patriotic. #newsnight
The idiocy of @OctopusEnergy position on ‘wasted’ wind energy is in their own numbers - 90% of the cost we incurred (today) was to buy other energy to replace the wind with, so if we’d not built these wind projects at all - we’d be incurring costs to buy non wind energy - every single day.
A short term, tiny cost (3% in all of 2025) while the grid catches up - is a 97% benefit. Octopus lost £250m last year, is that a waste, should Octopus have never been ‘built’ - or is it a price worth paying to get where they are going.
Octopus are being dishonest with their customers about the cost of wind energy - and the value of heat pumps.
