But afaik scottish hydro is a reliable renewable and the basis of what the government is suggesting here?

Surely by building storage so we don’t just lose what’s generated over capacity, we’d be reducing that though?

Seems like a better plan than just giving data centres cheap power when the people who live here are struggling with bills to me.

I’m going to take the number of people agreeing with me now as a sign of how bad things have gotten because I don’t think my opinions have changed much in the last 10 years

It’s complicated tbh, I have big problems with how we manage housing in this country generally.

Housing is either expensive, not fit for purpose or a combination of both and imo the root problem is the idea that your house should be an appreciating asset.

The whole problem apparently started because Trump decided to switch off the water supply from the ...

I use youtube music because I pay for a youtube sub anyway. It still has ai playlists unfortunately, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a streaming app with no ai pollution tbh.

The usp of youtube music for me is that it pulls from your entire youtube history for recs so it reminds me of stuff ...

If I had a shady garden I’d be sleeping out there tbh

I’ve mentioned before but I’d like to have a scrap of land to rewild as native rainforest.

The responsible thing is to not chop down living trees tbh

The best way to keep your local environment cooler is to have tree coverage.

The list puts him up against people who have killed millions with their decisions, granted not in exactly the same way.
