A proposed 3p-per-mile EV tax, aimed at recouping lost fuel duty, could cut sales by 120,000 by 2031. Still under consultation and not due until 2028, it may slow EV uptake and impact the market, though manufacturing development is likely to continue. - Tanya Sinclair, CEO, Electric Vehicles UK

Author of 'When Oil Causes War', Professor Jeff Colgan, says the commodity makes the world less stable and more dangerous.
“North Sea production is declining at about 9% a year.” Lord Turner says the UK will remain a net gas importer for years, and that US LNG can be “pretty dirty” after Trump weakened methane rules, raising emissions, arguing the priority is cutting gas dependence while managing North Sea decline.
EVs grow as carmakers face "crunch moment" “One in four cars are now electric. As production falls, EVs remain the only growing market, a crunch moment for carmakers,” James Court, Director of Public Policy at Octopus Electric Vehicles, tells Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio.
"If we start preparing now to think about transport, offices and homes in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees, we can avoid major problems. But we do have to start thinking of it now," says @ucl.ac.uk's Professor Ilan Kelman.
"Plug-in solar can be a cheap, quick, effective way of reducing your electricity bills," businessman and clean energy expert Chris Goodall told Times Radio. The government will relax rules on the self-installed panels, which can save up to £110 off consumer bills according to officials.
Plug-in solar could bring power to UK homes for £350-£800 “It’s a simple way for people without a rooftop to save on bills.” Already popular in Europe, these panels let renters generate solar power without major installation. Sonia Dunlop, @globalsolarcouncil.bsky.social @hugorifkind.bsky.social
Fracking and North Sea oil are a red herring for energy security “We have renewables which are reducing UK prices of electricity.” North Sea oil and gas are sold on global markets by private firms “not owned by the public”. Wind power cut UK energy bills by a third in 2025. @jessralston.bsky.social
Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 Arriving home after a couple of months in Iraq and Kurdistan. The first month of which was a full on drone war with dozens of attacks taking place, many within a km or 2 of my apartment. Now there's a sort of peace... those people deserve better. 🕊

ICE is sowing chaos, fear, and cruelty. This must stop. It’s time to hold this administration accountable for the harm being done to our communities.
The recent flotilla bringing aid to Gaza that Israel intercepted had the sister of Ireland’s prime minister on board. He is very angry about how she was treated.
This looks odd and a bit conspiratorial, but the metal detectors keep going off. So there appears to be something to it.
President Reagan described America as a beacon on the hill. Sadly that light seems to be fading. But I believe it has burned long enough for the other democracies to see it. In the 1940s refugees fled the Nazis built the atomic bomb and won the war. 1/3
Explosion and fire at Salina Cruz refinery in Mexico injures at least 6 people, officials report.
Further to my ‘Stack nobody read about the perils of UFO disclosure. One of my preoccupations is that the awe and fear provoked by any such disclosure will push one of these hokey proto-religions to the fore. Enjoy..
"Dark horses" and "timing." Cute. The real leadership race nobody's running? Crown costs £138m. Child poverty tripled. Farage's £5m lie. That's the dark horse. And no one's mentioning it. 🎭👑

I'm not sure how many are aware that this is happening. But we should be extremely concerned about this. We should not be integrated with the Israeli military. As a matter of fact, we should've cut Israel off decades ago. But right now, it's imperative to Americas survival.✂️✂️ #SheShed
