How do you suggest they do this? All the systems are web based now. Do you think Intuit is going to allow the government access to it's DB to export last years tax data?
Just like the major tax software programs do today: import a PDF file.
When most buildings are running air conditioners and EVs are charging and tell us how the electric grid is doing
This is California, not Florida. Much of California is cool in the evenings and night so little demand for A/C while the EVs are mostly charged at night.
When I was in California, our top rate on an EV plan (varies time-of-use, but not tiered by amount used) was just under 60 cents per kWh. We had solar panels, so, mostly, the power company was paying me that rate rather than me paying that rate to the power company.
I was one of the few people who had a Stadia. Ubisoft transferred my copy/license of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla from there to the PC without even asking. That would be one of the very few cases where the online licensing service was a good thing.
I assume you don't vote, since your vote counts for only a tiny slice of the total votes.
I suspect those numbers are grossly inflated, given Britain's short day
Do you not understand latitude and its effect on the length of the day? The average length of a day in the UK is very likely the same as where you live. In summer, days are very long in comparison to anywhere in the lower 49.
I had it in my mind that the next general election was required to be held in 2024, but since that is wrong, let me adjust my percentages:
1. There is a zero percentage chance of a new government this year.
2. There is a 99% chance of a new government early next year.
The Tories are resigned to losing the next election, so their priority has changed to bunging as much cash to their wealthy friends as they can. They clearly have no shame and give zero fucks.
You have misunderstood the article.
What it is saying is that 60% (3 times 20%) of the electricity consumed in the UK could be produced by solar farms and onshore wind.
Just in case you are skeptical: Annual electricity demand in the UK was 310TWh in 2023 while this proposal is that onshore wind could produce 95TWh and solar 130TWh (from the article).
What's missing: Offshore wind and rooftop solar.
We'll see. We're 95% likely to get a new government later this year
I believe that you are wrong about that.
The number is 99%!

I learned OOP principles from reading Borland's Object Pascal manuals. I had "acquired" Turbo Pascal but saved enough from my newspaper route to buy Object Pascal when it came out and that set me up for a lifetime of documentation disappointment in everything after that. I guess a decade or so later O'Reilly started to close that gap.
I have the best link, especially regarding the Guardian story:

I wonder how often incidents like these happen? Boeing is in the spotlight now, so these are likely to be reported more than usual.
This.
The very scary incident (plug falling out) gets lots of attention and suddenly other incidents, which would not have been newsworthy before, are now newsworthy.
When I walk into my doctor's office for a 3:00 appointment, my appointment actually starts at 3:00, not 5:30.
Where is this magical medical center? My experience of doctors in several states, going back decades is that, if you have an appointment at 3:00, the one thing you know is that it isn't going to start at 3:00.
I have experienced both healthcare in the US and the UK's NHS. The differences are that:
1. The US healthcare is expensive.
2. The US healthcare is delivered in locations with nicer furnishing.
3. You are much more likely to get unnecessary and expensive health services in the US.
Solutions are obvious if one only has the optical power to observe them over the horizon. -- K.A. Arsdall
