“For every one unit of energy you put in, you get two units out.” Air conditioning, effectively heat pump technology, will be vital as extreme heat becomes more common. Climate advisers say 9 in 10 UK homes aren’t built for rising heat, and fewer than 5% have air conditioning. @eciu.net

"The fat cats are doing absolutely nothing." Rubbish from fast food is a growing problem, but the firms responsible are doing nothing, litter champion Gill Thomas says. Volunteers in Stroud have used AI to map hotspots and track the worst offending brands, identifying 750,000 pieces of litter.
Who profits from an oil and gas crisis? “In 2022 we saw record profits for oil and gas companies. I worry this 2026 crisis will pressure them to keep drilling, locking in pollution so they don’t miss the next inevitable energy shock.” - Gregor Semieniuk, Associate Professor, UMass Amherst.

UK energy bills largely shielded till June but risks remain “The UK has diverse gas supplies from the North Sea and Norway, so households are largely protected for now…if the disruption continues for months, it could push prices higher later in the year,” - Adam Bell, partner, energy at Stonehaven.
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
