Amazing progress in geothermal power👇

UK Gov should now abandon its disastrous carbon capture plans, centred around building 𝗡𝗘𝗪 gas power stations fed largely by importing Trump’s #LNG which is disastrous for the climate.

We’d be energy independent but it would need courage to go against Big Oil.

Geothermal is ALREADY cost-competitive with fossil fuels in Europe.

Around 43 GW of enhanced geothermal capacity in the EU could be developed below €100/MWh today - compared to coal and gas prices fluctuating between €90–€150/MWh.

Mandelson’s all over the news like a rash, why isn’t the imminent collapse of the eco system due to humanities suicidal use of fossil fuels? Society is broken, unfortunately so is our planet, so why isn’t this all over the media? Politicians inaction is killing us all.

Drax knew what it was doing, it knew it was misleading the government and public - adds insult to injury I reckon. The injuries being environmental destruction and enormous profits from subsidies added to our energy bills.

Farage - a total hypocrite on the Mandelson appointment. And, besides, the Epstein files expose him too.
A grubby apologist to Trump. A useful idiot to Bannon. And a traitor to the UK.

Just a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

The files reveal the deep-rooted ambivalence, disdain and hatred for women that sits at the root of masculinity. It’s something good men have to fight against every day, but power corrodes that will and leaves you totally unaccountable

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face
