Why Brits are going to start fighting about pylons

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:55:57 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. is on the cusp of a net zero revolution. Just not the one many might assume.“When people think about the energy transition and the move to net zero — what it means for them, personally — they think about replacing their car, maybe their boiler, maybe putting solar panels on their roof, or whether they can afford insulation,” says Alice Delahunty, National Grid’s president of electricity transmission. “They don’t yet think … ‘will it mean a pylon through my village?’”But as the government pursues net zero electricity generation by 2035 — a target it must hit to have any hope of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 — it is planning a massive expansion of the system for transmitting electricity across the country.Experts are hesitant to put an exact number on this expansion, but it is going to require more pylons. Lots more pylons.National Grid estimates that, over the next seven years, five times as many transmission lines — via overhead pylons or (a more ex...

Britain’s mortgage crisis could destroy Rishi Sunak. Why won’t he act?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:55:57 GMT

LONDON — Hundreds of thousands of Britons are facing mortgage misery over the next 12 months. Rishi Sunak is about to feel their wrath.The U.K. prime minister has been snookered by Britain’s stubbornly high inflation rate, which at 8.7 percent remains the highest in Western Europe. The Bank of England is pushing interest rates ever-higher as a result, creating a crisis for U.K. homeowners not seen for a generation.Around 800,000 households will need to remortgage their properties next year, the Resolution Foundation think tank calculates, and rising interest rates mean they will pay a staggering £2,900 a year more on average from 2024. With a general election looming next year, the timing for Sunak could hardly be worse.This is a “huge problem” for voters, Andrea Leadsom, a Conservative member of the Commons Treasury committee and former U.K. business secretary, told POLITICO.“It’s clear we’re going to lose the next election,” another former Cabinet minister sighed. “These are...

With some of the Yankees’ highest-paid hitters continuing to struggle or on the bench Wednesday, a pair of non-roster invitees carried the offense against Mariners ace Luis Castillo.Jake Bauers struck first in the Yankees’ 4-2 win, planting a Castillo fastball into Yankee Stadium’s right field seats with a two-run homer. With Anthony Volpe on first, Bauers watched as his sixth home run of the year towered over the porch.“Jake’s done a really good job of impacting the ball, and especially in the leadoff spot lately,” Aaron Boone said afterward. “I feel like he’s had really competitive at-bats.”Bauers, who played for the Mariners in 2021 before spending all of 2022 in the minors, now has eight doubles, four home runs and 12 RBI since the Yankees began a series in Seattle on May 29. The April 29 call-up has also hit .274 over that span.“I’m just in a place where I don’t have to worry about my swing,” Bauers s...
