What If America Could Break the Power of Big Oil and Escape the Wars It Helps Fuel? What if we could break the grip of oil and gas companies, slash electricity bills, and unleash an American energy revolution that starts on our own rooftops? open.substack.com/pub/thomha…

The evidence says that investing in insulation and heat pumps would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs & grow the economy. But fossil shills would rather cut that out & have you buy their expensive gas to heat leaky homes for their profits. theguardian.com/environment/…

Thousands of #FairFuelUK supporting drivers have already contacted their MPs. Now it's time to take our message directly to @andyburnham and @JohnHealey_MP before the Budget. @HowardCCox has made it easy at fairfueluk.eaction.org.uk/Cu…

In 1956, the UK made history with the world’s first commercial civil nuclear power station. We’re celebrating the people behind 70 years of nuclear power. From the generations who built the industry to the workers and apprentices shaping its future 🎥 @NDAgovuk @SellafieldLtd

⚛️ 70 Years After Pioneering Nuclear Power, the UK Must Reclaim Its Global Leadership 🌍 On the 17th of October 1956, the UK made history when Queen Elizabeth II officially opened Calder Hall, the worlds first full-scale commercial nuclear power station, beginning a new age of sovereign, reliable, low-carbon electricity for the country and across the globe. Seven decades on, the UK’s nuclear fleet has: ⚡ Generated 3,224 terawatt-hours of electricity, equal to around 11 years of the UK’s electricity demand at modern consumption levels 🌱 Avoided an estimated 2.4 billion tonnes of carbon emissions, the most of any electricity source in UK history However, as 10 power stations retired without replacement, nuclear output has fallen from 25% in the late 1990s to 12.3% today. 📉 As the UK’s civil nuclear industry enters a new era of growth with record employment, decisive investment, and world-leading technology, it is essential to fully implement the Nuclear Regulatory Review to cut costs and deployment timelines. 🏗️ “We must not look back in 70 years and regret missing this opportunity.” #nuclear #industry #energy @tomjgreatrex @mgshanks

🚨 China is currently building a cold fusion reactor. The Goal : to create an artificial self sustaining sun.... unlimited clean energy..... This is what the western world has to compete with... The UK cant even build houses or a tunnel without it being postponed due to Nimbyism or councils having too much power or because of a nest of bats in a tree 3 miles away. We cant even build nuclear power plants with out issue..... too much regulation, red tape and high taxes is strangulation the UK's infrastructure projects.

And this is the result........

Jensen Huang: How crucial fixing energy prices are in the UK. @monicabeharding Why did you recently vote against granting new oil and gas licences in the North Sea? China has the right idea: they are expanding all forms of energy production, both renewable and conventional. They already have 1,100 coal-fired power stations and are actively building new ones. China is on the political left, and the Lib Dems are on the left? What do they know that you don't?

🚨 ON THIS DAY IN WEATHER DISASTER HISTORY — OCTOBER 15 One of the biggest drivers of climate hysteria is WEATHER AMNESIA. The weather has always been wild. We just didn't have billions of cameras recording it. Here's your daily history lesson: 🌀 1780 — Great Caribbean Hurricane (Oct. 9–15): Deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record. An estimated 20,000–22,000 dead. 🌪️ 1780 — Solano's Hurricane (Oct. 15 onward): A SECOND major hurricane in the Caribbean at the same time! Roughly 2,000 reportedly killed. ❄️ 1880 — Great Plains Blizzard (Oct. 15–16): 70 mph winds and snowdrifts reportedly reaching 20 FEET! 🌀 1954 — Hurricane Hazel (Oct. 5–16): Category 4 landfall, 18-foot storm surge, catastrophic flooding from the Carolinas to Canada. Hundreds killed. ❄️ 1984 — Denver Blizzard (Oct. 14–16): Highways shut down, flights canceled, and up to 3 FEET of snow in nearby foothills. 💨 1987 — Great Storm of Europe (Oct. 15–16): Hurricane-force winds, millions of trees uprooted, more than 20 dead. All before smartphones. All before social media. The planet didn't suddenly become dangerous because you bought an SUV. We didn't invent extreme weather. We invented the ability to watch every second of it. 📅 Weather history didn't begin with the smartphone. Your daily cure for WEATHER AMNESIA.

To fund the Burnham Government’s priorities, abandon Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and Wylfa new #nuclear Britain’s three new nuclear projects – Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and Wylfa – now depend on public money, above all from the National Wealth Fund, which has committed up to £36.6bn to Sizewell C alone: about twice what it can lend to all its other projects. Abandoning all three would save consumers £93–133bn and free the NWF to back renewables, energy storage and the government’s regional and industrial priorities. policybrief.org/briefs/to-fu…

173 YEARS OF U.S. HURRICANE HISTORY. THE DATA SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. Since 1851, the United States has experienced no statistically significant long-term increase in hurricane landfalls. Not in total hurricane strikes. Not in major Category 3–5 hurricane strikes. The 1941–1950 decade recorded 24 hurricane strikes, including 10 major hurricanes. No subsequent decade has exceeded those totals. Even NOAA acknowledges there is no strong evidence of a century-scale increasing trend in U.S. landfalling hurricanes or major hurricanes. The oceans and atmosphere have warmed, yet the historical U.S. landfall record does NOT demonstrate an increase in hurricane frequency or major-hurricane landfalls attributable to that warming. A warming climate does not automatically mean more hurricanes striking America. An enormous thank-you to Michael Ferragamo (@FerragamoWx) for painstakingly hand-plotting 173 years of hurricane landfalls. A remarkable graphic that puts modern headlines into historical perspective. Science requires observations, not just predictions.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a middle-class subsidy, but it would be a major cost of living solution if re-prioritised for low-income homes, rather than scrapped At today's prices, a standard heat pump installation (COP 3.0) saves ~£55 vs a gas boiler, a good install saves ~£280
