Octopus Energy is asking customers enrolled in its Saving Sessions scheme to reduce their electricity use between 6pm and 8pm during Wednesday’s partial solar eclipse—in return for a free hour of power on Sunday. Julia Hartley-Brewer reacts to the request with journalist and author Ross Clark, calling it “madness in the 21st century” and questioning Britain’s growing reliance on weather-dependent electricity generation. They also debate this summer’s heat and drought, whether Britain is experiencing a “new normal”, long-term rainfall patterns and what global burned-area figures really show about wildfires. #news #energy #money Have you got a story?
