@sainsburys.bsky.social I need to call you out on this - when you sub chicken, you use a loophole in your promise to avoid the cost of providing what was requested. You don’t seem to do with other items, and it seems to be happening more often than ever.

@robinince.bsky.social If you’ve not already discovered it, Bookcase in Carlisle is four floors of mostly used books (they have a map to find your way around) that I think you could spend several days in :-) Well worth a look if you’re near, and has a cafe in the back too. www.bookcasecarlisle.co.uk

40% of Britain’s power is renewable, so why aren’t your energy bills lower?

We’re operating thousands of wind turbines on a system designed for a few coal stations.

It’s costing you billions. We need reform.

Watch our CEO @gjuk.bsky.social make the case for zonal energy pricing:

Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the highest bills globally.

Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366.

Zonal pricing could give Scotland some of the lowest bills in Europe: youtu.be/8-WUhBtB_CM

It's back . . . and it's electric

Two teams, two batteries, and a junkyard: what could possibly go wrong?

@sarahgogreen.com Have you stopped using Bluesky? It’s a sunny day for us and I thought you might be posting with good news about getting some solar yourself, but I can’t see any posts of yours here for several weeks!

@octopus.energy How can I add overstay charge details to the Electroverse app? The option to add details is limited to images and things like accessibility. Many thanks.

What’s the website that shows a daily total for money wasted paying wind turbine operators to curtail generation?

Heat pumps offer vast energy efficiency gains.

They are 4x more efficient than gas boilers.
