Just published 📣 New @theCCCuk snapshot assessment of the impact of recent climate announcements over an eventful few months. The PM made a speech on Net Zero. We’ve looked at that - but there were other developments, which we’ve considered too. 🧵 theccc.org.uk/2023/10/12/ccc…

Not sure how we got here, the point of the tweet was simply to show that a map like the one on the left exaggerates the success of the CDU compared to the one on the right which weights each constituency equally (this time showing larger electoral districts for clarity)

If I were advising the UK Prime Minister, I would tell them to make a televised statement to the nation tonight (or very soon) along the following lines: 1. We are in an energy crisis. This crisis is having a dreadful effect on everyone’s finances. And it is going to get worse.

Jede Subvention erhöht damit den Gaspreis und hat zwei Effekte: - sie entlastet die Subventionsempfänger auf Kosten der anderen Konsumenten - Gasförderer (Norwegen, Russland, Qatar, USA) verdienen mehr xitter.cf/LionHirth/status/15602…
Das Angebot an Erdgas ist in Mitteleuropa momentan extrem unflexibel ("preisunelastisch"). Wenn man in einer solchen Situation den Verbrauch von Erdgas subventioniert (aka MwSt senkt), treibt man den Preis nach oben. Am Ende profitieren die Verbraucher *nicht*.
