Just stop fucking with nature, it never ends well!
We already have these they are called Solar Panels, they absorb the Sun's energy and turn its heat into Electricity.

If you covered the Sahara Desert in Solar Panels the Global temperature would lower by 1.5C and you'd have 4000x as much electricity as we need.

Trump insiders made billions this week off destroying the US financial system. And yes, torching global trust in us treasures does just that
I’m leading a letter with Rep. Terri Sewell and 131 colleagues demanding answers from the White House, USTR, Treasury, Commerce, and the SEC.
Who knew about Trump’s tariff reversal? When did they know? How did they know?
$300B didn’t move by accident. This is market manipulation.

The UK tax gap is now £40bn - as corporations fail to pay more than ever before

The tax gap is giving the rich time to pay - which in turn is resulting in benefit cuts for the poor.

Well done, Labour. Well done.

"The US can no longer be trusted as a military, diplomatic or trading partner. Keir Starmer must know this. Europe is our only viable route to security."

Labour needs to stop being so afraid about rejoining the EU
Rejoining would revive our economy and boost our security

Quite apart from anything else, Tesla stock is wildly overvalued and increasingly subject to the instability of Musk and this US admin. It's an obvious sell for a pension scheme.
💷Public money should be used for public good, not for lining the pockets of far-right oligarchs.

🟢 @markruskell.bsky.social is calling on the Scottish Parliament to divest its pension scheme from Tesla.

UK media has been a scandal for a long time. I'm pretty cynical that anything will change tbh

The next big media scandal is only a matter of time after successive governments refuse to further regulate the industry

He thinks transgenic mice are transgender. That asylum seekers come from mental asylums. That exporters pay import tariffs. That contraception in Gaza province, Mozambique means giving condoms to Hamas.
