"Give Me the Night" is a song recorded by American #jazz and #RAndB musician #GeorgeBenson, released in June 1980 by #WarnerBros as the first single from his 18th studio album of the same title (1980). It was written by #Heatwave's keyboard player #RodTemperton and produced by #QuincyJones. #PattiAustin provides the backing and #scat vocals that are heard throughout, and one of Benson's fellow jazz guitarists, #LeeRitenour, also performs on the track.

@dubh If ure too far for a connection, its physically AND financially more efficient to just produce it

Gov subsidies can be diverted to remote cases for help.

A panel is cheaper than a Km of wiring if I am not wrong. We spend billions on energy subsidies on gas and oil annually.
Just a year of these on solar/wind will be enough

Hard reform does not mean abandon reform

@dubh We'll need to be very selective in whom to get to the local grid and whom to leave off.

People dont "need" to be on a grid anymore. Stand-alone off-grid installations are reliable enough to provide power. Can have a mosque (every house in #Pakistan has access to one) set up production, and all people need to do is connect a wire to it.

A new study has assessed the contribution of human-induced climate change to the fire and weather conditions.

The analysis, conducted by the Met Office, the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and the University of Exeter, reveals at least a 6-fold increase in the probability of very high fire weather due to human influence.

"#ClimateChange made severe fires during the #UK’s 2022 summer #heatwave six times more likely, new research has revealed.

The Met Office study said human-induced climate change “amplified fire risks” and warned that #wildfires posed an increasing risk to people, property, and ecosystems.

Temperatures soared to 40C for the first time in August 2022 saw with the London Fire Brigade having the busiest day since the Second World War, according to the forecaster."
