Exactly. Despite the public debate, can't see anything in the detail published yesterday that makes building gas peaking plant (over other forms of firm power / storage) more likely than it was before the announcement. Important to look at the substance, not the spin.
Despite all the UK govt rhetoric about "new gas", confirmation today in parliament that govt expects unabated gas to meet ~1% of demand in 2035 Minister @grahamstuart, responding to an urgent Q from @CarolineLucas, described new gas capacity as "back-up…sensible insurance" 1/
Is the boiler industry gas lighting you? Accused of “campaigns of misinformation” & “price gouging” by Ministers lobbying that could “hurt” customers @CitizensAdvice Do consumers need to think twice before trusting what the industry says? Let’s have a look at the evidence..🧵
It's here: my annual presentation on decarbonization. There is a lot going on, and I attempt to capture it in 200 slides. Ocean heat content, deforestation, fund performance, vehicle efficiency, lighting technology, GLP-1 agonists, and much more. nathanielbullard.com/presentations
NEW UK now has 50,000 public electric vehicle charging points, up from just 30,000 in Feb last year At current rates, expected to hit 100,000 in Aug 2025 Govt target is for 300,000 by 2030 Data from @zap_map
By prioritising further oil and gas exploration, the PM is playing with fire that risks us all – consumers and businesses, the green economy, and the planet – getting burned. My thoughts for @CityAM: cityam.com/further-north-…
FACTCHECK: PANTS ON FIRE Today's Sun has an "exclusive" about the cost of gas boilers. Its headline is pure fiction. For £300 to be true, boiler manufacturers wld have to install zero heat pumps in 2025 (zilch, nada, none). 60,000 were installed last yr, up 40% on 2021. 🧵
"I guess the lesson from that one is that maybe Ofgem should have done the network access and forward looking charging review first, and [Transmission Charging Review] second. But, oh well, a bit late to do that now." - Former Ofgem Director responsible for doing TCR reform.
Thank you @kermodeandmayo for the shout out on 'Kermode & Mayo's Take' today. Your @FWFilmFestival lanyards will be waiting for you on the door. 🐙
No Green Day til autumn?! UK will be drifting towards green investment Basket Case status by then if we're not careful.
Jeremy Hunt confirms today that the UK response to Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act will be in autumn and not this week with Grant Shapps' Net Zero announcements. "We will return to this and we're doing a lot of very detailed work," he says.

Poland is rapidly undergoing a heat pump revolution – and is breaking records in the process. “It is absolutely number one in terms of growth,” says @ThomasNowakEU “The lesson is that the UK needs long-term funding. In the UK funding has been so stop-start,” says @janrosenow
🇵🇱 Poland was always an unlikely candidate to become a heat pump utopia. But in 2022, Poland’s heat pump market blew the rest of Europe out of the water ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/…
This year, we launched Forbidden Worlds Film Festival, a celebration of cult genre cinema on the biggest screen in Bristol. We have been overwhelmed by all your support in making our first events such a success, and we cannot wait to show you what we have planned for 2023.
Today we are announcing the acquisition of heat pump installer Igloo Works, a move that will help more homes switch to heat pumps and away from gas. goodenergy.co.uk/good-energy-ha…
What to do about flying and climate change? Some thoughts from a sun and warm water lover whose done 3 long haul return flights in their life and who does approx. 2 short-haul a year (thread).
Part 4) The way the scheme has been set up, it almost incentivises us to now move any discretionary consumption *into* peak time so that when that call to reduce peak consumption comes, we have more fat to trim.
Denmark's public transit agency has made the greatest transit advertisement of all time. No notes. (Din Offentlige Transport)
Government are like... Lifting ban on hugely unpopular fracking? Bang on about for weeks. Lifting ban on hugely popular onshore wind? Bury in a policy document. 🙃
Horror fans are invited to Bristol’s former IMAX screen on 28–30 October 2022 to view classic and cult horrors whose VHS covers once intrigued and terrified in equal measure those browsing the aisles of their local video shop. forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk
This is going to be so, so good. Be there!
Horror fans are invited to @FWFilmFestival at Bristol’s former IMAX screen for three days of terror over the Halloween weekend with a bloody feast of classic and little-known horror movies on the biggest screen in the South West. forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk
