Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Completely agree, enough is enough. But Europe’s relatively quick caving on tariffs may indicate von der Leyen doesn’t have the stomach for this fight?
The EU surrendered to Trump on tariffs. It mustn’t do so again on regulation of big tech, writes Thierry Breton.

It’s an atrocity, no less. Obscene.
The Israeli State deliberately starving another neighbouring nation seems to rhyme with history…something I never thought Israel would do.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.
Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.
Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government?

In 29.5% of the cases symptoms do appear, they are gastrointestinal distress, normal enterovirus stuff.
Polio only displays neurological symptoms in 0.5% of cases.
