The stringent restrictions on onshore renewables development are an act of national self harm. There is space for a big increase in wind and solar capacity, and it can be achieved without undermining food production or damaging precious landscapes. businessgreen.com/news/4194897/s…
As climate change's impacts get more extreme, big oil continues to pump fossil fuels.
Climate change is fuelling extreme weather events across Asia from the recent unprecedented heat waves to excessive flooding.

To save the planet, it's time to ditch fuzzy, faraway climate targets and get real. Our climate expert @BasavIPS discusses this in a razor-sharp new piece from @justcalma @verge: “You either have zero emissions or you don’t.” theverge.com/2023/3/20/2364…
"For the first time in the IPCC’s history, a headline statement...declared that the world already has too many fossil fuels in production to limit global warming to the relatively safe level of 1.5° C. [This is] a very big deal." My latest, for @MSNBC: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
The climate time-bomb is ticking but the latest @IPCC_CH report shows that we have the knowledge & resources to tackle the climate crisis. We need to #ActNow to ensure a livable planet in the future. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/

Relieving poor countries of their debt burdens and creating innovative financial instruments could help free up more than $400 billion to assist victims of climate change, a new @IIED study finds @SejiPatel bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business

The Government has just announced 10.8GW of new renewable energy. That's 14% of the UK's current electricity capacity. Even better news: renewables are still getting *cheaper* despite inflation going up. Clean energy will bring down bills. It's as simple as that.

Anecdotal - but here’s the harrabin household assessment of #ULEZ. We both notice we no longer need to wipe dirt off the washing line before hanging clothes. Windows are cleaner too. We used to breathe this filth. @POSSIBLE @SadiqKhan
Earth Day messaging is still stuck at the "recycle harder" level, when what we need is the "sue & disrupt the fossil fuel industry out of existence and put the executives who've spread lies in prison, as billions of lives and life on Earth is at risk" level
Subsidies for heat pumps cost well under £1bn- and deliver decades of benefit Bill support during the gas crisis around £50bn One's an investment in a technology which has permanent benefits and keeps getting cheaper. The other is the cost of dependence on fossil fuels
If heat pumps were a better product they wouldn't need subsidising to get people to adopt them. @RossjournoClark is right.
One of the main reasons renewable energy is going to triumph in the end is, IMO, not well understood by the general populace, so here's a quick 🧵on it. Over time, the price of fossil fuels is determined by two forces pulling in opposite directions. On one hand ...
So, to summarize: For FF, resource costs rising, tech costs falling, net price remaining, through all the fluctuations, roughly steady. For RE, resource costs are zero, tech costs falling, net price falling.
WOOHOO! Another new energy system record on the road to Net Zero.

Yes, Solar thermal is a no brainer for some applications, but it is undermined by the ridiculously low cost of solar PV. When I’m Prime Minister, I will mandate that all hotels in the south of England are installed with solar thermal to serve showers through the summer :-)
@RHarrabin I've long wondered why solar hot water, which was promoted quite a lot back in the 70's, has completely dropped off in favour of photovoltaic. It is much more effective than making electricity (inefficiently) and using that to heat water
Last winter the UK got more power from renewables than gas power plants, which is weird because lots of people we're supposed to take seriously keep saying renewables don't work. businessgreen.com/news/4188691/s…
If only there were a way to cut the UK's uniquely heavy reliance on gas for heat and power…
OBR Budget docs reveal we're not out of the woods on volatile gas prices yet... they model a crisis where O&G prices go up 75% due to conflict in Middle East this would *push up borrowing £23bn per year* over 5y forecast & leave debt 0.8% GDP higher in 2028/29 eek🥵
