More clean energy contracts awarded by UK Gov today. For last 12 months only 28% of UK electricity came from fossil fuels👇. Much more to do: switch to electric/heat pump heating & improved insulation/efficiency. But direction of travel is promising. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

to Environment Agency Flood team: there is a lot of talk about flood readiness ahead of winter. On the Pippbrook in Dorking, please could the tree blockages & mudbanks be cleared near Fairfield Drive. On river Mole: clear large tree blockage near Hillier garden centre, Dorking.

The last day of coal powered electricity in UK. Purple= coal, green= wind, orange= gas, yellow= solar, light blue= nuclear, dark blue= biomass. Electricity today is only 18% fossil fuel. Great progress. But home heating & transport is the big challenge.

How sickening that UK Gov is proudly announcing £20bn investment in UK by Macquarie. The very (vampire) company that asset stripped and destroyed Thames Water. Wonder who their next UK infrastructure target will be? UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Chris Coghlan MP 🔶

Hopefully the EA (environment regulator) will now prosecute UU for failing to report their pollution incidents that everyone knew was happening. But really we need a review of waste water & environment regulation in UK. chng.it/mTwMt5M2bY. Ofwat Environment Agency Defra UK

Thames Water has £2.2b revenue. But with £17.9b debt at say 5% interest rate will be paying £0.9b interest pa. ie. 40% of customer bill income spent on servicing debt. Little left for asset investment and capital maintained. Completely unsustainable & unviable business model

Completely off of target (by a huge margin) for addressing climate change. Sadly future generations will pay for it big time. Read: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What an absolute joke the COP climate conference is!. Every COP conference has led to even more CO2(eq) emissions in the world’s atmosphere. End it now and restart proper conference & governance. See: bbc.com/news/articles/…. #COP29 #ClimateCrisis #UN

Absolutely the COP Climate conference process and #COP29 are no longer fit for purpose. Time for change. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

What do we expect with Southern Water. It is primarily Macquarie Investments owned. Leaders in asset stripping & equity-to-debt swap ( take a look at the state of Thames Water after Macquarie ownership). UK Prime Minister Ofwat Defra UK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

To: Keir Starmer UK Prime Minister you had better start taking seriously the risks to the UK of AMOC collapse. Potentially one of the biggest risks for the future of UK. Not even on the national risk register. Read: en.vedur.is/media/ads_in_h…
