Not only were the major contributors to inflation non-discretionary, but they were mostly unaffected by demand or interest rates rises. But yeah, go ahead raise rates again because you gotta look tough, I guess? theguardian.com/business/gro…

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again: Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead? It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

The @ecb & the 🇪🇺 central banks (@banquedefrance, @NBB_BNB_FR/@NBB_BNB_NL, @bundesbank, @bancodeportugal, @BancoDeEspana, @bancaditalia 👋) can fight climate change AND improve the living conditions of Europeans... How? By granting low interest loans! #CentralBanksHelpRenovate

Just in case anyone reading this is thinking about debating a crackpot on a famous podcast. Here are some important tips for how to debate from a former debater and coach.

A big part is that debating is an entirely distinct skill. A great scientist with all the facts on their side could easily appear to lose a debate against a crackpot if they weren’t skilled at the format.

Of all the pain and hardship caused by the global fossil fuel price crisis, countries like Norway have been big, *big* winners. Norway earned more from selling climate-disaster-causing energy products in 2021+2022 than it did between 2015-2020. ssb.no/energi-og-industri/fa…

So if we assume H2 leaks as much as CH4 (could argue up or down - it’s hard to handle but also most likely to be handled in high-safety industrial contexts), then H2 has leakage emissions of 0.1tCO2e per GJ leaked vs 0.54 for CH4. Small! But adds to importance of avoiding leaks.

So I know the climate bill is an important political step, but this 👇 is the news today that is most exciting me and will absolutely accelerate the energy transition and climate action. reneweconomy.com.au/minister… Short 🧵

Ministers to put environment back into energy market rules in landmark move for renewables

Update: Energy ministers are poised to put environment back into the national electricity market objective, removing a massive roadblock that has stymied the switch to renewables.
