LABOUR SUCKERED BY BIG ENERGY #EdMilliband paraded with Dale Vince - boss of Ecotricity, and invited a senior exec from SSE to join him on stage. But his new energy policy focused on a public-private partnership. Gordon Brown tried that. It didnt work. off-grid.net/uk-labour-part…

FUN FACT: Under the 1908 Allotment Act, if SIX people from different households apply for an allotment together, their council has a legal OBLIGATION to find them a space.

The tragic war in Gaza will claim many more lives - unless Hamas put down their weapons now, and accept a ceasefire and their own total and permanent withdrawal.

House of commons #NetZero committee quizzing boss of ScottishPower today. Will they give him easy ride or force him to reveal the exact cost/benefit behind the £5 billion of new cable and #pylons which we consumers will be paying for?

As Texas grapples with grid challenges and heightened reliance on gas sources, it's crucial to explore sustainable solutions for local communities. #fyp #SustainableEnergy #motivation

Who will #EdMilliband appoint as boss of #GreatBritishEnergy? #UKElection2024

Labour's Big Plans are all about cosying up to big Housing and Big Energy. There is nothing on community empowerment - the new planning laws must enable small-scale local communities to form in rural and green belt areas not currently served by the grid. theguardian.com/artanddesign/a…

“The administration of the government, like the office of a trustee, must be conducted for the benefit of those entrusted to one’s care, not of those to whom it is entrusted,” Cicero, 45BC

This winter, with energy shortages forecast, and oil prices already peaking, what is the backup plan for keeping warm? GreatBritishEnergy - what is your plan for this winter?

We welcome the UK investor announcement sweeping away red tape,  and hope it also applies to Energy, which is regulated against the interests of "Prosumers" - individuals and communities who produce their own energy and have a surplus at certain times. No.10 Press Office GreatBritishEnergy

UK WARNING - NESO activated a capacity market notice for the first time in 2 years due to rising electricity demand. Low wind output strained the power grid, with gas power stations supplying 53pc of electricity needs. Sizewell B nuclear is offline for refuelling.

GRID CAUSED #LAFirestorm2025! Power Grid Faults near the first #LAfires skyrocketed hours before the blazes began, according to @WhiskerLabs. Did the grid spark the fires? Why Didn’t They Turn Off the Power? Can Insurers Sue The Utility SCE? Are Any Executives Facing Jail Time?

Ed Miliband Energy Security and Net Zero Committee claimed 70-80 "major" clean energy projects which will be forced through planning. What are they? When will they actually generate energy? He said the grid was "a massive problem." What if his 70 projects fail? @EnergyGovUK No.10 Press Office Climate Change Committee

In his opening statement just now to the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee the chair t Bill Esterson asked Ed Miliband to commit to free flow of information - the answer was a simple Yes. So can the Chair please ask the Secretary of State to release the list of the 70-80 projects he mentioned? Now.

#OFGEM CEO gave evidence in #ParliamentToday, ready to give consumers "the ability to minimise their cost" and ensure "investors come to this country." His mantra: 'ontime and on budget' Good luck with that! The focus: consumer flexibility - behaviour change Energy Security and Net Zero Committee Ofgem

#ESNZCommittee in #ParliamentToday heard that household energy arrears is £3.82 BILLION - Add UK business arrears, also nudging £4bn. Every unpaid energy bill adds to costs for the rest of us. Utilities should take the arrears ouut of proits, not expect us to pay for them.

Trump is annoyed because he promised Ukraine Russia war would be over in 24 hours, and they didn't fit into his schedule

the UK Government is launching its Local Power Plan tomorrow and its predicted to be bad news for the environment. The 2024 Labour manifesto pledged £400m for community energy - but that was later reduced to £200. We'll see how much it actually gets tomorrow.

Labour budgeting £26,000 per home! Marvellous! It IS possible to build homes for £26,000 each. They would be sightly on the tiny side. And they would be OFF-GRID - built on agricultural land - each with its own veggie growing area - example:youtube.com/watch?v=95qqnO…
