I’m here at the Southwark Crown Court where the judge has given 5 years to @RogerHallamCS21 and 4 years to the others from @JustStop_Oil - brutal sentences.

The Government will unleash a UK solar rooftop revolution.
We want to bring this win-win technology to millions of addresses in the UK so people can provide their own electricity, cut their bills, and at the same time help fight climate change. ☀️

.@CSkidmoreUK not pulling any punches — accuses Daily Telegraph of deliberately running stories undermining the energy transition
Says the newspaper uses net zero as clickbait

Wow, that was quick.
The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.
Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"

Labour confirm they will fully end England's ban on onshore wind and bring large-scale onshore wind farms into the NSIP system.
Reminder: since Putin’s invasion, Ukraine has installed more than 12 times the onshore wind turbine capacity than England.

First 24 hours on the job as Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. It was a pleasure to meet the brilliant civil servants.
My message- together, we will deliver the bold energy and climate plan our country needs.

This government has won a mandate to deliver a bold plan for energy independence, lower energy bills, good jobs and to tackle the climate crisis.
That work begins now.

The reality is that solar farms, if located on poorer quality land and managed well for either food (🐑) or nature (🐝), can provide cheap energy and good incomes for farmers, without having a meaningful impact on food security
What's not to like?!

UK very slow on heat pump roll out and will be well short of govt target for 2028
Even this target - 600,000 installations per year - is well short of the 900,000 per year climate advisers recommended

Your regular reminder that solar farms take up (a lot) less of the UK than golf courses

If Ministers were really interested in bolstering food security there is a list of at least 50 things you would do before you got anywhere near performatively tightening, but not actually changing, planning guidance for solar farms.

We've known for over 10 years that UK #solar farms can boost #biodiversity, the more difficult question is how many of the UKs >1400 #solarfarms are actually delivering high biodiversity standards? No-one knows. My latest for @elemental365.
