I’m sure the labour supply reasons others have cited must be the main reason.
I also wonder if tight budgets / removal of slack in system / outsourcing has contributed to it?

Anything like as much as she loves and admires herself?

Britain used as much coal last year as it did in 1600

The use of coal last year fell by 9 million tonnes and helped drive down Britain’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2.4 per cent.

Grok was asked to vulgar roast Musk and Netenyahu, it initially refused to do Netenyahu but eventually went for it, weirdly not being seen by many though, wonder why πŸ€”
