No, you haven’t got credit. Solar panels pay for themselves like 3 or 4 times 9n their lifespan. We had a period of zero-interest rates, we could have bought everyone solar panels.

The only big change I've noticed this side of the pond in the last year is that our drink cartons now have tethered plastic caps. OK, they're still made of bonded layers of cardboard, aluminium and polyethylene which make them hard work to recycle, and according to a 2021 German study indeed less than 1/3rd of them are actually recycled ... ...but at least now the hard-to-recycle plastic lids now stay attached to the empty and hard-to-recycle cartons! <sigh>
