“The idea that solar power could interfere with the UK’s food security is utterly detached from reality. Solar power generated over 8% of all our electricity this spring, but takes up less land than golf courses.

kudos to the dude on rollerblades at 11 PM on a fairly dark sidewalk that has 2 to 3 inch offsets because of tree roots, carrying a boombox blasting *NSYNC. He rolled into the intersection and did a rollerblading version of a sideshow back-and-forth across the cable car tracks. A for not falling anywhere.
