Like, you know that thing where you struggle to read the same paragraph in a book 19 times? Like that, but for a whole-ass day

Two bags is doing the trick right now. Best not let it become a habit.

Well, it won't immediately. Those were the last two bags...

I tried to make it with no bags.

Then when I went to make it with one bag I accidentally put two in. Which, you know, on this occasion, great.

I'm just a bag of uncooperative nerves.

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

In January the mysteriously-funded Institute of Economic Affairs was adamant that reaching net zero will cost the UK Β£9 trillion, prompting eyerolls from actual experts.

Well, the CCC put it at Β£100bn, with a return of between Β£2 and Β£4 for every pound invested.

"There are people in tech who want to do good, but they’re consistently outvoted or stampeded by selfish hucksters and thieves."

A few years ago we had civic tech. Maybe we still have it. Maybe it's just down the back of the sofa and I haven't looked.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
