Our message to global leaders: we need #solar power everywhere by the decade’s end. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow nearly 85% of electricity at 1pm today is from renewables. Not always this good but you can check the figures here grid.iamkate.com #NetZero #LoveNetZero

Good day to recirculate our paper on how to respond to the 2026 energy crisis, which we published nearly 6 months ago… www.nesta.org.uk/report/how-t...

Britain is getting 29 new battery-electric trains. Built in Derby. And these aren’t little branch-line trains. The new TransPennine Express will be 121 metres long, carry around 300 passengers and travel at up to 110mph. Photo credit: Alstom Newt.

If you’re looking for an optimistic (and nerdy) take on the switch to clean energy in these troubled times, try this by @richarderskine.bsky.social. He uses a systems approach to argue we are close to a clean energy tipping point, at which it becomes very hard to stop clean energy taking over

Why does clean energy keep defying forecasts? Solar in 2020 was 10x what 2006 outlooks predicted. My latest Bright Spots looks at feedback loops and non-linear thinking in climate policy - and why systems thinking is key. janrosenow.substack.com/p/how-feedba...

Measuring energy usage in units of Primary Energy is like measuring nutrition in acres. People need food, not food waste or land inefficiently farmed. People need energy services not thermal waste or fossil fuels inefficiently extracted. Time to measure what matters. #PrimaryEnergyFallacy

You may have seen I broadcast a message to planet Earth from the edge of space. I thought it was equally important to speak to deep space about you and your lovely little planet. But I thought humans might like to see it too, so here it is. #Clacton #VoteBinface

The 4th largest economy in the world — which grew faster last quarter than Texas and Florida (combined) — is showing a growing economy and a clean energy approach go hand in hand!

Brent above $85. European gas back over €50/MWh as Hormuz escalates again. A reminder: A fifth of global oil and LNG passes through that strait. Every heat pump, EV and electrified factory shrinks this exposure. Electrons made at home cannot be blockaded in a shipping lane.

GB News gives its take on climate change. This is what a propaganda campaign looks like. Who'd have guessed that the GB News co-owner runs a hedge fund with massive investments in oil and gas? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

Love that 20k people signed this on day 1 Why? Because we’re DONE Tech companies profit from hate & disinformation every day & face zero legal liability because they’re classed as “platforms” not publishers An insane loophole that needs closing NOW PLS SIGN you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

The German AfD is meeting Kremlin associates and pushing to reopen Nord Stream. This is what is often missed about the backlash against net zero: It is about who controls Europe's energy and vested interest groups want to drive us back towards dependency on Russian gas.

34.8ºC at Kew Gardens breaks its May AND June records by OVER 4ºC for its May record set in 1922 and by 0.2ºC for its June record set in 1976. Unprecedented heat for the UK in late May, and likely to be bettered tomorrow. A rounded 35ºC temperature should not happen in May.

Someone on the BBC did their job today and grilled a Reform MP over the Makerfield candidate's social media posts. The broadcaster will probably be sacked now. www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...

JUST DROPPED: Europe thought it won the energy war. Build LNG terminals, swap Russian pipelines for LNG, job done. Then Hormuz closed & prices doubled. We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on. But bright spots on horizon. open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

Nigel Farage’s claim that he paid for a £1.4mn house with his fee from a reality TV show has been challenged by corporate accounts that appear to show that the income remained on his company’s balance sheet after the property purchase. www.ft.com/content/88ce...

#BrokenNews: Big Cars = Big C**ks

The idea that EV batteries age poorly is a misconception – and a new report has found they often outlive the cars themselves

Saw the @thebooradleys.bsky.social at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social tonight. Great show and new album.

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

Today yet another solar generation record has been broken, as is perhaps regular for this time of the year. This one marks a milestone though: 15 GW for the first time, 50% higher than the peak during the previous gas crisis.

Just did the sums. UK gas at 110p/therm today, that's equivalent to £37.5/MWh. But a gas plant is only 50% efficient so it's costing £75/MWh to buy enough gas to make 1 MWh of electricity. Just fuel, no operation costs. AR7 solar came in at £65/MWh and onshore wind at £71/MWh. #renewables FTW

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The CBI (Confederation of British Industry) has also come out quite loudly in support pointing to continued exposure to fossil fuel imports and the investment and growth opportunity. www.cbi.org.uk/media-centre...

Analysis published today by the UK Climate Change Committee shows that decarbonising the UK by 2050 would cost less than than keeping the system as is if just one 2022 style price shock happened again. This analysis took place before the current price shock by the way.

Today we have published new analysis building on the Committee's advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget. Our conclusions about the cost of decarbonising the UK and impacts on energy security were tested against different scenarios ⬇️ Read the full report here: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
