Dirty fracking won't provide enough gas to matter. Not soon enough to help with bills. Serious about the energy crisis? Onshore wind is cheaper, faster, no risk of earthquakes. Meets climate objectives and international treaties. But. Fracking Raab doesn't care.

@SwytchBike Hi guys, is this an issue at all? Can you supply a replacement? Aluminium backing plate has sheared. Version 1 of the product, from I think about 2018-19, or 700 miles ago.
I was born in the Yukon, in northern Canada. These stripes mean new invasive species of mosses are killing forests. Deer are appearing, unheard of when I was a kid. Winter starts a month later, and ends a month earlier. #ShowYourStripesDay

Between now at 7 electricity will cost more than any other time during the day. So, if you building isn't occupied - what can you turn off. Here are some tips to keep costs and carbon down during lockdown. buff.ly/2M09vxs
What makes a net zero target credible? "Net Zero" does not have a formal framework, so there's a risk that Net Zero plans may result in claims of Greenwash. This @carbonintel blog explores how a Net Zero roadmap can withstand scrutiny and get results. buff.ly/2zlVisj

Analysis of New York demand, similar to what @CarbonIntel see in our UK data, peak loads down 20%, with leaders cutting total demand in half. But now is the time to experiment with reducing base loads, to impact tough parts of demand reduction. buff.ly/2ZBfVuX
My kids are amazing and have adjusted to the lockdown so well. They generally have good spirits, but it's hard. My daughter drew this, which breaks my heart each time I see it. (The "No Spurs" reference appeared later, shortly after a squabble with her Spurs loving brother)

Last night my daughter and I went camping. In our garden. It was fun, if a bit uncomfortable. Properly camping! And we both made it through the night. It will be interesting to see what memories become of this strange time.

Delighted to receive local delivery with a smile from @bigsmokebrew. Pleased to support local #elmbridge businesses and to not have to rely on supermarket delivery or corner shop beer aisles. Great news. Great beer.

Just got my @OddboxLDN. Trying to figure out how this food was "rescued"? Fantastic service and recommended. No doubt local farmers benefit from expanding the food they can get to market. And less food waste is always important. Also, kids are going to love the mango.
There are people who can't work from home. My daughter wants to make sure they know that we are thinking of them.
