On Sunday my tiny bits of 2 wind farms generated nearly twice as much power as I used. And saved me £1.22 off my electricity bill to boot! 💚

I learnt that in the UK home solar is WAY more common in rural areas than in cities and major towns. I even made a cool map of it.

North Westminster has the lowest (200) and South Cambridge has the most (7700). 30x as many!

Saw them at my first Glastonbury in 1997. Keith died a few years ago tho 😔

They’ve not announced the line up yet but tbh it doesn’t matter nearly as much as most people think. You stumble across bands you’ve near heard of before which is the best thing.

Me and (most of) my mates got Glastonbury tickets. Feeling very happy.

My daughter wasn’t so lucky, but she can work there, I’m too old for all that malarkey.

It genuinely could have been a great co-op. Co-ops are hugely underrated imho.

It's a wonderful to have a better option than twitter. No blame needed!

MPs launch call for evidence on ways to grow community energy sector The UK’s Energy Security and Net Zero Committee has issued a call for evidence on community energy as MPs look for ways to grow the sector

UK Parliament wants to know what's needed to really scale community energy. I will be sharing my thoughts. Ripple's community energy model funded a £42m project last year, that's nearly double the entire rest of the sector (£24m) put together.

Scale matters. www.thenews.coop/mps-launch-c...

My use of twitter has fallen loads in recent months. And I deleted Facebook off my phone ages ago.

I’ve actually enjoyed easing off social media tbh and am now a bit wary of getting into another platform.

I’ve not really worked on solar before so visiting Derril Water solar park mid-construction today was a joy. Row upon row of posts waiting for the racking and then eventually the panels.
It’ll be 42MW, 75,000 panels over 175 acres. Owned by nearly 10,000 people.

It’s such BS. You can just buy the cool stuff for girls tho.
