Seven solar companies most people haven’t heard of, are ALREADY providing more energy for the global economy than Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP: https://t.co/s57EhVbcWP

We have the solutions. Time to dump the oil economy and implement them. #ActOnClimate

No mention of ending the £billions of taxpayer-funded subsidies and tax breaks that MPs pay to the fossil fuel industry. Their priority should be accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to reduce energy prices permanently, not continuing to underwrite them.

The Bill would recognise Nature as a legal subject, create a duty of care towards Nature, and shift decision-making upstream so ecological harm is prevented before it happens — not just challenged after the damage is done. https://t.co/YaTMstcK24

The Nature’s Rights Bill has its Second Reading in the House of Lords Fri 3 Jul 2026.
Peers should accept that stronger legal protection for Nature is needed.

Instead of building expensive fossil-fuel peaker plants that sit idle most of the year, grid operators can tap into these decentralized networks.

When electricity demand spikes, a virtual signal instantly tells thousands of coordinated home batteries to export spare power... while smart thermostats slightly dial down cooling, dropping peak load in real time.
