A decade ago, Spain was one of Europe's more expensive power markets, and critics said it was investing too much in solar energy. Now, the average wholesale price for electricity in the country is one of the lowest in Europe. Oxford professor and energy policy advisor Jan Rosenow writes for his newsletter about how that happened.

The flooding at the Greenford London subway station has been reduced by around 90% thanks to... *checks notes* ...a family of beavers.

After conservationists reintroduced a group of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals began building dams, and the wetlands they created now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

City officials had been planning major flood infrastructure works, but the beavers effectively created them on their own — while also boosting biodiversity and restoring the ecosystem around them.

I think the money the city would have spent on anti-flooding infrastructure should go to the beavers, don't you? 🦫 🦫 🦫
