The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Scotland is one of the most energy-rich countries in Europe, yet families here pay some of the highest bills.
That simply does not add up. An energy-rich Scotland should mean energy-rich Scots.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today I’m combining my #photooftheday with my #smallmomentofjoy which was a massive moment of joy on the beach last night with the Milky Way and the #AuroraBorealis Apologies for the poor quality shot. I hope you’ll get the idea. Truly magical.
Have a great day.

Danish intelligence accuses US of using economic power to ‘assert its will’ over allies.
Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance.
Europe needs closer economic & military cooperation.

The Arlington Baths Club in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. Designed by John Burnet Senior and built in 1871, it's Glasgow's oldest swimming club, and is still in use to this day.
