#5g is being rolled out across the country, despite growing #evidence that it is disruptive to our #health, our safety, and the #environment. The Invisible Rainbow is the groundbreaking story of electricity as it’s never been told before―exposing its very real impact on the #biosphere and #human health.

Over 100,000 copies sold!

Over the last 220 years, #society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for #humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before―from an environmental point of view―by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The #Invisible #Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the #history of #electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization― #heart disease, #diabetes, and #cancer―are related to #electrical #pollution.
"Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner . . . Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age."―BRADLEY JOHNSON,MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco
"[A] masterpiece."―Celia Farber, investigative journalist
"This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies"―Paradigm Explorer

Metr: Electricity Tracker is a new Android app to track Pre-Paid Electricity in South Africa

A screenshot of the Metr app showing three information buttons - one says Daily expense R100, another shows Daily consumption as 30.07, and the third shows Cost per unit as R3.33.
Metr helps you simplify your prepaid electricity budget. All you need to do is create an entry each time you purchase electricity and Metr will automatically calculate your cost per unit, daily expenses and daily consumption. These statistics can help you be more aware of your electricity usage, providing a metric for you to improve and save!

Under useful stats, it also has Time Until Next Refill. This can help you budget and plan, knowing when you will need to purchase electricity again. It will also allow you to know how long your balance is going to last.

This is by a brand-new developer as their first attempt at writing an Android app, so it may have some rough edges, but it could be really useful to many in South Africa.

It is free with adverts so although the dev does not collect or share your data, the Google ad system may well do so. If the app does well enough, maybe the dev will consider doing a paid ad-free version too.

Fuel poverty ‘shocker’ should power energy reform

The show’s host Calum Macdonald asked if something was “just not clicking” between policy and legislation.

Using Viking Energy Windfarm as an example, Mr Macdonald said the windfarm could power up to half a million homes but its owner SSE was given £2 million to switch off its turbines in August.

He added that fuel poverty in the isles was around 30 per cent.

Fuel poverty 'shocker' should power energy reform - The Shetland Times

It is the “greatest injustice” that so many people are in fuel poverty in the isles, when there are energy producers generating so much power....

UK’s #SmartMeter targets leaving energy users short-changed, says Martin Lewis

I’d suggest shifting firms’ targets from smart meter installations to the overall number of ‘working’ smart meters, which would incentivise firms to do both installations and repairs

Nearly 4m smart meters are malfunctioning in the UK, leaving some householders facing life-changing bills, according to figures released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Repairs are slow, if they happen at all, as resources are focused on installs, leaving consumers frustrated and at risk of misbilling and further problems

Norway's energy sector under threat of Russian sabotage, Norwegian security chief says

Norway's energy sector is under threat of #sabotage from Russia, Norwegian security chief Beate Gangaas told Reuters on Aug. 27, as European security services briefed Norwegian energy officials on potential Russian threats.

Norway is a key provider of #oil, #gas, and #electricity for Europe, overtaking Russia as Europe's top gas supplier in 2022.

"When we are talking about sabotage today, we are talking about Russia,"
