@robinince.bsky.social If you’ve not already discovered it, Bookcase in Carlisle is four floors of mostly used books (they have a map to find your way around) that I think you could spend several days in :-) Well worth a look if you’re near, and has a cafe in the back too. www.bookcasecarlisle.co.uk

40% of Britain’s power is renewable, so why aren’t your energy bills lower?

We’re operating thousands of wind turbines on a system designed for a few coal stations.

It’s costing you billions. We need reform.

Watch our CEO @gjuk.bsky.social make the case for zonal energy pricing:

Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the highest bills globally.

Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366.

Zonal pricing could give Scotland some of the lowest bills in Europe: youtu.be/8-WUhBtB_CM

It's back . . . and it's electric

Two teams, two batteries, and a junkyard: what could possibly go wrong?

@sarahgogreen.com Have you stopped using Bluesky? It’s a sunny day for us and I thought you might be posting with good news about getting some solar yourself, but I can’t see any posts of yours here for several weeks!

@octopus.energy How can I add overstay charge details to the Electroverse app? The option to add details is limited to images and things like accessibility. Many thanks.

What’s the website that shows a daily total for money wasted paying wind turbine operators to curtail generation?

Heat pumps offer vast energy efficiency gains.

They are 4x more efficient than gas boilers.
