It isn’t.
Oil stayed more or less steady, so yes, it did.

Not only has the UK not stopped building wind, they have over 30GW of installed wind capacity and sell electricity to Ireland for most of the year.
The 'sell electricity to Ireland' bit here is doing an awful lot of work. It's more complicated than that.
For those who don't know, Ireland operates an all-island grid, and EirGrid (the grid operator for the Republic) owns SONI (the grid operator for Northern Ireland). That means that 'UK' and 'Ireland' in this has a large Northern Ireland shaped lump of ambiguity that statement.

"Malicious communications" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. This veteran was arrested for retweeting this meme (https://abuwjaawap.cloudimg.io/v7/_lgbtqnation-assets_/asset...).

He was offered to undergo "re-education." You might not like this meme. You might find it offensive. But should he be arrested by several officers for it? Of course not. This is just one example of many people being being arrested and imprisoned for offending people. It is against the law to offend people in the UK.
Oh yes, the bastion of truth that is the Daily Mail.
Sorry, my eyes just rolled out if my head.
I think apples to apples comparison would be comparing against Rego. To me CEL is more appealing due to its simplicity.
And even then, I'm not sure it's apples to apples, at least if by Rego you're thinking of OPA. CEL and Rego take very different approaches, with CEL being quite procedural, while Rego is about constraint satisfaction, not unlike Prolog. At $WORK, Rego (in the form of OPA) gets used quite a bit for complicated access control logic, while CEL gets used in places where we've simpler logic that needs to be broken out and made configurable, and a more procedural focus works there.
It seems weird to require an entirely new programming language for this tbh. They make the claim that it is special because it's not Turing-complete, but that's nonsense. Turing completeness is almost never a property that is important. I think in this case they're equating Turing incompleteness with "doesn't take a long time to execute" but that isn't really the case at all.
The property you really want is "can be cancelled after a certain amount of compute time - ideally a deterministic amount", and you can obviously do that with Turing complete languages.
No, they're equating _Turing completeness_ with _might not terminate_. CEL, Expr, Rego, and other languages like them are intended to guarantee to complete. You can't do that cleanly with a Turing complete language.
Does CEL have any way to import other files? i.e. could it serve as a general purpose config language like jsonnet?
It's not really a configuration language like Jsonnet and CUE. It's an expression language for specifying things like conditions and policies. You _could_ abuse it as a configuration language, but it'd be overkill.

> No culture deserves respect.
I don't know if I agree with that, but I will say that people in general deserve respect. If I were playing with an Irish player, I definitely wouldn't want to offend them by treating their language like set-dressing, and I wouldn't particularly want someone using my culture for that, either.
Irish mythology gets bowlderised plenty, so we've a pretty thick skin about it these days. If you _do_ treat it well, any Irish players who have even the remotest interest in this kind of thing (which anyone playing TTRPG probably would be), would really appreciate it.
So, thanks for trying to be cool about this stuff!

Not an Irish speaker, but I've seen some of the names and terms while reading folklore. Is it possible that Lug Lám-fada is a proper name/epithet for "Long-armed Lug" (alluding to the god Lug) instead of a descriptor of a "long-armed lug" object?
Yes, she's making a lot of allusions of Irish mythology, and that's definitely a reference to the god Lug Lámhfhada. Also, the word 'lámh' in Irish isn't quite arm. It's your arm below the elbow, including your hand. He has that epithet because for a bunch of reason, not least because of how skilled he is in all things.
The line between folklore and mythology is fuzzy, but this definitely falls on the mythology side of the line.

Native Irish Speaker and Sci-Fi fan here. What an unexpected delight. For those who might not pick it up , the author name "Máiréad Ní Ghráda" is that of an unmarried (that's the "Ní") woman ("Máiréad" which is like a variation of Mary).
Here's my Translations of the Chapter titles. I'm pretty sure many of these have old-Irish style séimhiú (a dot above a consonant denotes what would now be a h after the consonant) in the originals that have not been translated by the OCR, so there are several missing h letters. If I weren't on a plane over Afghanistan, I'd download the PDF to check. Will update the repo when I can!
Pláinéid na feaca Súil Duine riamh = A planet no person's eyes have ever seen
An Radarc, tríd an gCiandracán = the view throughout the [Ciandracan] (this is a compound proper noun, "Cian" is "head" or "brain" and "racán" could be visor or rocket)
An Turas go Manannán = the Trip to Manannán
Manannán = Manannán (it's a noun, which is very similar to the Irish term for the Manx and the Isle of Mann).
Muintear Manannáin = the people of Manannán
na 'Cráidmí' = the Craidmi (I think it's just a plural noun)
An tÁrd-Máigistir = the high Magistrate, or possibly the supreme magistry
An Priorún = the Priory

An tinneall = the fire
Oidce tar Oidceanta = Lesson upon lesson
Lug Lám-fada = the long-armed lug
An Tróid leis na 'Cráidmí' = The war with the Craidmi
Diogaltas = Revenge
An téalod = not sure about this oneAnd she's not just any Máiréad Ní Ghráda; this is the same Máiréad Ní Ghráda who wrote An Triail and Progress in Irish!
