Energy Companies have permanently x10ed their profits.
It is a Cost of Greed Crisis and it needs to be reversed.

you can make Public Transport good and cheap (even free) and it has little impact on car use.
You have to actively restrict driving by making it less convenient and more expensive if you want mode shift.

Watching Trump say "one way or another" the US is going to get Greenland - a rather clear threat of annexation by force against an ally - is nauseating. To hear Congress laugh and applaud such a statement means they have debased themselves and the United States of America.

So when Trump arrives for the state visit we can imprison him in the tower of London for treason, right?
Consider this, Canada is a constitutional monarchy whereby the Sovereign is Canada's Head of State.
King Charles III automatically became Sovereign of Canada on the passing of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth II.

UK electricity is now coal-free. This wouldn't have happened without huge amounts of activism, especially the movement that stopped new coal power stations in 2008/09. My latest article for @newint.bsky.social celebrates that victory & asks what future doors it might open: newint.org/mining/2025/...
