This is something we desperately need in the UK. Germany has it. Other countries have it.

Why should people in flats get left behind? The offset for poorer families would be amazing.

Write to your MP and ask about forcing the energy companies to accept 1kw systems (as long as its MCS/g98 approved kit)

#Hyderabad Delivery Worker Falls Into Drain; Phone Lost, Bike Damaged
I can't shake this out of my head , along with the pain for him , I can't help but see , that he and 10s of 1000s of #gig workers re living their work shift as if they're characters of #videogames risking their lives for real as they rush their bikes on the whims and fake entitlement of overworked #it workers who re in the same poition intellectually and politically and order everything from from #zepto to #zomato in the mindlessly wracked #infrastructure and runined #aqi in name of #develooment propaganda of the current #oligarchy who ve no better lives themselves.
Is this our collective resilience ? Yes.
Does it show our collective consciousness ? No .
Our mindless #consumerism s led us to severe #energycrisis and severely wracked work life balance , where we ve pawned our will and natural lives for the sake of survival and intolerance for others.
We re in serious need of better #civicsense driven demand of a #policyreform

The vocal right-wing critics are largely denying the impact of fossil fuels on emissions, and therefore on the future prospects for humanity, but the net zero lobby is pursuing strategies that are inadequate and simplistic. If we truly want net zero, then the only way forward is down, with far less overall energy use and less complex technology.

Listening to the #SamAltman genesis story on NPR

#Humanity is treading water, staying just ahead of increasing human need.

And they propose to hand that figure treading water either a helping hand or a gold chalice, take your pick.

Until the bright light of #AI is pointed at the preconditions for **its own** use —‌ vast #energy requirements —‌ it could literally sink us all.

Competing with humans for planetary needs is insane, without first solving our #energycrisis.

Fix #fusion first.
