Very concerning

What do we know about the Nord Stream leaks and what does it imply? Information is still coming in and there is a lot we don’t know. I think this is a pretty big deal, and I am quite concerned. Here is my preliminary assessment.

10% of the world's electricity came from solar and wind in 2021, up from 5% in 2015. And that's not just in a handful of rich countries.. over 50 countries have >10% of their electricity from solar and wind..

Yes. Yes. Yes. We have the best wind resource in the world, finally a plan to use it

With @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister, Labour will establish GB Energy. ✅ A publicly-owned, renewable generation company. ✅ Harnessing the power of Britain’s sun, wind and waves to cut energy bills. ✅ Britain will be an energy independent superpower.

Our latest explainer shows that in Europe, biomass is used for both energy and material applications. Most is produced within the EU. Only ~5% is imported – half of which from Russia and Ukraine. See the explainer to understand the potential of bioenergy 1/5

We love #hydrogen but it’s not the solution for heating UK homes. All the Government’s unreliable support will do is create uncertainty at a time when we should be doing everything possible to roll out heat pumps #energycrisis theguardian.com/environment/…

I would love to avoid getting party political. But this is so obscene and immoral that it would be wrong to hold back. Please do not ever vote for anyone in any party who even stayed quiet about the awfulness of these tax cuts for the rich at this time bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Kwasi Kwarteng defends massive tax cuts as fair for all

The chancellor has faced criticism for cutting taxes for the wealthy during a cost-of-living crisis.

For people across the country, every penny counts this winter. But our research shows that the average household wastes almost £350 heating leaky and poorly insulated homes, with warmth literally going out the window.

Geologist who founded Cuadrilla says * it had discovered that the geology of the UK was unsuited to widespread #Fracking operations * will be impossible at any meaningful scale * will not help with the energy price crisis theguardian.com/environment/…

Fracking won’t work in UK says founder of fracking company Cuadrilla

Chris Cornelius says geology is too challenging and government’s support is merely ‘soundbites’

We collaborated with @Cl_Citizens to run a citizens' panel on decarbonising owner-occupied homes. Using deliberative methods to explore policy options, the reports on the process and outcomes have been published. More: bit.ly/3BX5ftq & bit.ly/3QW3tNr

I love #hydrogen, but when it comes to heating homes it’s going to be #heatpumps folks.
Doug Parr@doug_parr21 Sep 2022
Heating homes at any scale with a valuable commodity - green hydrogen - was always a stupid idea That a pilot is not going well, or quickly, emphasises that we're better going with heat pumps despite their challenges theguardian.com/environment/…

I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked. We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.

Lots of confusion around the £2,500 price cap. This is the average household energy cost, NOT the most you will pay. It's the unit rate that is capped: 34p per kWh electric & 10.3p per kWh for gas. Your total bill can still be over £2.5k if you use more gas & electric. 1/4

Decarbonization, as investment layers. 1. Renewable energy: ~$400bn a year, flat 2. Energy transition (+electric transport, storage): $200+ billion, growing 3. Net zero (+heat, chemicals, materials): <$100bn, just getting started

*This* is the UK #EnergyCrisis We can’t keep borrowing to subsidise high heating costs. We have to make our homes more efficient

The heating season is about to begin. A reminder from @tado: UK homes are still in desperate need of being made more efficient.
