"An A&E consultant [we are] working with "decade-old computers and Windows 7" and that their systems crashed "every few months"...

"Hydrogen is another potential headache for Miliband. The gas could be useful in the greening of some industrial processes, but study after study has found it is infeasible for home heating.. Yet home heating is exactly where its supporters, including the gas industry and unions with members working in it, want it.... Labour will need to explain that it’s the laws of physics and chemistry they are up against."

"In 2022, e-SUVs constituted about 35% of all electric passenger car sales worldwide. Manufacturers have simultaneously released fewer new smaller models onto the market, which may be slowing the transition to smaller EVs. Together, this artificial scarcity—plus effective and targeted marketing—has shifted consumer preferences"

"consider it like this if you were to open a chocolate Factory and you said well the chocolates are zero calories unless you bite any of them people would say that is nonsense.
In this case an oil company wanted to drill a well and essentially seek to ignore the fact that someone somewhere would set fire to that oil and cause greenhouse gas emissions.
Today the Supreme Court decided that that too is nonsense"

Hoping Sir Kier is more of an Attlee .. ironically

"Rather than invest in infrastructure..., the country’s private water monopolies, which began life with no debt, borrowed £64bn over the past 3 decades and paid more than £78bn in dividends...
The Dutch system produces less than a quarter of the leakage seen in this country. Its state-owned water firms are funded by a state-backed bank specifically designed to lend at rates equivalent to those offered by the government"
