@JessicaToale read this, a lesson for Ed Milliband

We’re relying more on LNG to set the price because we’re allowing domestic supplies to decline and depend more on imported LNG supplies. A matter of policy. A bizarre policy driven by net zero zealots. Even in a mature field like the North Sea there is still a lot more gas to get out. Ask the Norwegians. Increase that supply and UK NBP hub prices will come down. Tax revenues will rise. Balance of payments will improve. Sterling will strengthen. And more jobs will be saved/added. Simples.

Disgusting. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are psychopaths, intent on dragging Israel into ever darker places.

Lots of amazing stuff happening to prevent that collapse- synthetic inertia, dynamic containment, loss of mains programme, faster and more accurate protection, faster interrupters, VSCs and PSR enabled converters and much, much more 🙏🏻

@EngineerLondon I believe there was a spinning reserve plant on Deeside, the old power station?

I was told over the last twenty years the GB grid couldn’t cope with Renewables above 10%, then 20%, then 30%, 40% and 50%. Shouldn’t it have collapsed by now?

Springtime cometh in two days.
So the lawn has had its first trim of 2026, and it's always a moment that makes it seem like the misery and dark days of winter are almost behind us. Sliced off with a rotating blade. Discarded. Gone.
And if it was only that easy to rid ourselves of everything that drags us down and piles gloom and doom upon us.

@MaxVelocityWX If we took 10-15 years to bury all the above-ground power lines, we'd have fewer power outages, fewer wildfires and lower insurance rates.

Work starts today in #PortTalbot 💛
We’re beginning essential upgrades to strengthen the electricity network between Briton Ferry and Ynys Street.
You may see short sections of work along the route, with traffic management in place at times, but access to homes and businesses will stay open. We're working closely with @NPTCouncil to reduce disruption.
These upgrades will help make power supplies more reliable and reduce future outages.
If your street is directly affected, you’ll get clear advance notice.
We’re here for the community throughout, so feel free to ask us anything.

The world's a better place now that Soham killer Ian Huntley has gone but I'm just sorry he died so quickly when he didn't know it was coming and didn't suffer the unimaginable terror his two little 10 year old victims must have gone through before he snuffed out their lives ..
