Background
I created a little Python script to simulate your daily energy consumption with or without a home battery. I want to share it with my brother, so I recreated it in Excel VBA. Terribly slow and to share to a wider audience a macro enabled Excel spreadsheet is not ideal. So now I'm creating a single page website where everything is embedded in a single html document.

I would like #ScreenReader #UX help for tabs without #JavaScript.
I'm writing for a single page website that is progressively enhanced. I found a number of different 'accessible' implementations to create tabs using CSS but I don't know which technique is the most screen reader user-friendly. What do people like or don't like?

What gives me hope? When clean energy alleviates poverty, leaders speak up for justice, and people realize they’re not alone in caring about climate.
Good news: Pakistan installed 22 GW of solar in 2023—more than Canada ever has, and more than the UK added in the past five years.
Not-so-good news: The world lost Pope Francis last week. He was a fearless advocate for climate justice, continually reminding us that climate change is a moral issue that hits the most vulnerable first and worst.
What you can do: Two new studies show most people care about climate change—but they don't talk about it, because they think others don’t. When we speak up, we empower action!

Theory of change to disconnect from the gas network. If I stop paying my gas bill it'll increase the cost on other users and the market incentive for others to stop using gas goes up, reducing emissions greater than my reduction.
But the biggest incentive for domestic reduction in use was opening up the market to international prices!

Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map
