Solar Roof Tiles - should every building generate its own power?

Another example of where governments should be legislating to fight against pollution and climate change. It's frustratingly obvious how much better off we would be if we each generated the power we needed in a sustainable way.

Tesla roof tiles look brilliant, but there's an interesting comment about them in the video which mean that they might not be so viable in the UK. Certainly not our our roof, but the ones shown here look great.

How Big Oil misled the public into believing plastic would be recycled

Governments should be banning plastic packaging for new products and giving companies a few years to phase it out for existing products.

The first season was really good, not sure this trailer does the show justice but glad to see a second season is on the way.

Coronavirus: England and Wales' contact-tracing app gets launch date

Typical. Great news, if they can deliver. It's a shame we couldn't have this app and system in place for the summer when the government were actively encouraging us to mix which has obviously lead to rise in cases and deaths from COVID.

The apocalyptic red western skies caused by climate change-fuelled wildfires

It's 2020, no-one should be arguing that climate change isn't real.

The first photo (taken at noon) is like a scene from Stranger Things.

Jeff Bezos could write every child born in America this year a $24,000 check and still be as rich as before Covid.

Could I make it as a CEO of a large corporation? Could I look on as my employees worked for next to nothing while I racked up unimaginable wealth?

But really, there's nothing new here. The numbers we're talking about are getting larger but the richer only want to be richer. Whatever the cost.

Scotland launches contact tracing app with Apple and Google API

Better late than never, like here in the UK where the we haven't heard anything since June.

Apple recently rolled out the ability to use the APIs without an app, but of course we don't have access to that yet either.
