    For years it has been repeated again and again that gas is needed to firm renewables when “the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow”. Events have shown the opposite: renewables are needed to firm oil, gas and coal when the ship won’t go and the pipeline doesn’t flow.

    Indeed.

    Nothing new here though. Half of us have known we need to decarbonise industries as quickly as possible, while the conservatives have as usual been trying to avoid doing so.

    As I’ve said a bunch of times over the last few weeks, I’d like Albo and other leaders of like minded middle powers to stand together and condemn Trump’s behavior. It’s absurd that everyone is too scared to say anything. He’s caused global harm in order to further his own interests.
