Climate and Energy, reading how heat waves, power, and data centers reshape daily life and costs

Climate stories sound distant, yet they arrive very close by way of the bill. Here we read with data how heat waves, extreme weather, power demand and prices reach daily life and cost.

We cover El Niño and rising sea temperatures, record heat and heat-related illness, summer and winter demand peaks and tariff design, the load AI data centres add to the grid, and how renewable build-out and net-zero targets are actually progressing.

We look at confirmed numbers before forecasts. Starting from things you can verify - temperature records, consumption figures, the bill itself - we work out where the trend is heading.
