I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit.
I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country.
This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran.
We must take a stand.

I have made no indication where I sit on 'renewables' v 'non-renewables'.
My original post was based on an expert who specialises in a certain thing, creating a model that demonstrated that the certain things she specialises in was the best outcome.
I have then asked you a simple question about the modelling used to get to that conclusion....twice.
Do you want to answer the question, or just keep posting unbiased Guardian articles.

@RWiSblog @colinwalker79 So is the cost of energy modelling based on the current landscape of taxation and subsidies, or is it modelled on the basis of what UK energy costs would be with all things being equal?
After all, 'green' energy is being highly subsidised, whilst oil and gas is highly taxed.

1. Production will need to go from 2-3 million tonnes a year to 8-9 million tonnes to meet domestic demand. This assumes all sites are operating near 100% capacity, and that government support continues for the sector (via the £2.5 billion National Wealth Fund commitment and ongoing interventions).
2. UK Energy costs will make this 5%-10% more expensive than imports (ignoring the 50% tariff on imports).
So as well as a production capacity issue driven by the number/size of facilities and the availability of energy to run them, there is also a price issue driven by the cost of energy.
So for the UK to actually achieve this it needs actually complete new build projects in budget and on time, energy production to increase and energy costs to come down and for continued support and intervention via the National Wealth Fund.
We can't even fill in potholes, and yet you think the above is achievable.

Percentage share: The UK accounted for roughly 0.135% of total worldwide crude steel production.
The UK demand for steel is around 8-9 million tonnes, and we produce 3-4 million tonnes.
So the 50% tariff on the imports will cost around the low hundred millions up to a billion pounds, depending on excess quotas being breached.
So if we can't meet demand as a country, people will need to continue importing, and once again we have a government policy that will make the prices increase.
So you have effectively made the construction of any sort of decent infrastructure in the UK more expensive for the tax payer. So you will either need to borrow more money, tax us more, or ironically subsidise the industries further to counter the tariffs you have put in place.
Great work traitor.

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down.
I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel.
Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again.
My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.

🚨Clearly there's loads of news today so there's a chance this gets ignored but... it is a BIG deal. Britain, the country that invented free trade as we know it, is raising steel tariffs to 50%. Biggest tariffs since Brexit. A massively symbolic moment. news.sky.com/story/watershe…

My honest reaction to this is pretty simple.
The data from Arccos has always been powerful. I have seen firsthand how much it can help golfers understand their games, make better decisions, and help them focus on the things that actually lower scores.
But I never really liked the feel of sensors on my clubs.
Now that problem is solved.
I think Arccos Air is going to resonate with a lot of golfers who wanted the insights, but did not want anything attached to the grip.
That friction is gone, and that changes the equation for a lot of people.
Really smart product. Really meaningful step forward.
