Personal and household CO2 emissions data for 2023 shows our 1st full year without gas use.
Direct emissions from the house/car etc were down. Total household CO2 exc flights = 1161kg,
inc flights 1643kg,
personal share of total = 616kg.

Oh dear oh dear, Andrew likes to pose as an energy expert, but *everything* he adds here is wrong
💷His biggest omission is that higher power imports means lower bills for consumers💷
Shall we count the other ways he's wrong?
Yes, let's, with added GIFs and some MATHS🧵
Dominic Zapaman retweeted
So in summary:
✅electricity imports save consumers £££
✅import/export capacity is good for energy security
✅electricity imports in H1 2024 likely had ~zero net impact on the UK balance of payments
You're welcome, Andrew. Any time.

Well, perhaps National Grid would say that (they are involved in operating interconnectors after all)
But then again, here is DECC (now DESNZ), on the energy security benefits of these cables 🤔

Now let's talk about energy security.
Having lots of interconnectors linking the GB grid with other parts of Europe is expected to "contribute greatly to GB security of supply", says a report for @nationalgrid

Let's pause for a moment to congratulate Andrew for successfully quoting a report (albeit without attribution)
This is the only thing he did right.

It’s a sad day for Middlesbrough and Teesside.
A nasty minority have been riled up and manipulated by bussed in, professional fascist organisers.
Not only have they attacked our community assets, such as the University and historic Library, they’ve also destroyed local… /1

So if the rioters are angry about immigration, it must be because somebody is making them angry about immigration. 7/
Dominic Zapaman retweeted
It is also claimed that the rioting is a way in which people are expressing their 'legitimate' concerns about immigration, which is arguably a polite way of saying that these are racist riots. 5/

5/ The rioters and their elite supporters are playing a political game: to convert as many Reform and right-wing Tory voters as possible to a “strategy of tension” and active resistance to the government. That is useful to Russia and therefore Russian bots amplify the messaging…

4/ By agglomerating refugees, Muslims and Roma people as the primary targets, the police and Keir Starmer as the secondaries, the perpetrators are acting on the Great Replacement theory myth. This is the hallmark of global fascism…
