"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The ECO was designed to make energy suppliers help households cut emissions and bills. Suppliers are the companies that buy electricity or gas from generators and sell it to you the company named on your bills is your supplier. In theory, the ECO means these suppliers meet government-set carbon or energy saving targets by funding insulation and heating upgrades for households, with regulators checking that installations qualify."
On-the-ground reporting covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and relies on donations to fund journalists while keeping reporting paywall-free. The funding model depends on supporters to pay for quality journalism accessible to all. Britain's flagship home insulation programme under the Energy Company Obligation left tens of thousands of households with faulty or dangerous installations because of weak oversight, poor skills and confused accountability. The outcome reveals a deeper governance failure in the UK's approach to decarbonising home heating. The ECO delegates long-term stewardship to market forces despite requiring sustained oversight, supplier-funded upgrades, and regulatory checks to qualify installations.
