In 2024, UK EPCs recommended fossil fuel boilers in 120,000+ homes. Heat pumps recommended? Zero. Zilch. Nada. We @regassistproj.bsky.social flagged this already in 2019. Gov't working on it, but old rules still rule. Why EPCs ignore heat pumps foresightmedia.com/historie/swp... HT James Twallin

Whose fault is it? Beckett? Blair? Bloody windmills? Why are British electricity prices so high and how did we get here? I have tried to break this down in a new, rather long Substack and look at the potential factors in our high prices.

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Landscape-scale vandalism, rebranded as "preservation". The natural vegetation type on much of Dartmoor is temperate rainforest. But when it starts to regenerate, it gets burnt off for sheep pasture, creating the bleak, treeless wastes that dominate the park. Then they spin it as something good.

📣 New article by me in @plosclimate.org! We can’t decarbonize energy by focusing on supply alone—we must tackle demand too. 🔹 Efficiency has cut more emissions than renewables 🔹 Smarter demand = less fossil fuel reliance 🔹 Cleanest energy is energy we don’t use journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

THREAD: How the Sun screwed up its "smoking gun" story on net-zero study The Sun: "As much as 10% wld be wiped off economic growth by end of decade" Source: "At no point does this study suggest there will be a drop in UK GDP. It talks abt a 10% transfer…within GDP" Oops! 1/10

Good morning with good news: "Energy demand is around 40% lower post-transition due to energy efficiency gains." Electrification is big energy efficiency! Internal combustion engines are rolling waste, dirty and expensive. www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electrific... #energysky #greensky

While UK newspapers were falling over themselves to cover the "stalling" EV market, the actual number of EVs on the UK's roads surged by 39% in *just 1 year* The 1.4m EVs, 0.8m PHEVs & 76,000 EV vans on the road in 2024 saved ~£1.7bn in lower fuel costs www.carbonbrief.org/...

The ‘mismanagement’ Trump refers to is the fall in the canal’s capacity because of drought. It’s the climate theory of everything at play again.

Farage attending the launch of a new staunch climate denial group in the UK that has taken funds from oil giant ExxonMobil ? Not particularly out of character , since Dec 2019 92% of donations to Reform UK were from fossil fuel interest groups or climate deniers , per @desmog.bsky.social .

These devastating fires in LA are climate change in action. More than 80% of the county is under drought, and when hurricane force winds hit dry land, they ignite. As @katharinehayhoe.com says, we are experiencing global weirding.
