There's some real energy in Parliament by this week⚡️
The Government recommitted through the GB Energy Bill to put power in the hands of communities, producing up to 8GW of green, clean, community-owned energy.

100%. Trump getting elected didn't change the physics of the planet's atmosphere, nor the UK's geography of heavily depleted north sea oil and gas reserves and an abundance of renewable energy potential. Delivering climate action that benefits us all is how the UK will prosper.
Where are the MPs, columnists, and business leaders explaining climate change threats are real, gas is the primary cause of high energy bills, net zero brings multiple benefits, and the UK is not an outlier on climate policy? Ed Miliband can’t do it all on his own.

Fun being invited on BBC Radio 5 Live this evening to discuss the news that Govt are considering grants/cheap loans to enable more people to install solar. It's welcome as a move to democratise energy; I'd be keen to see it part of a wider policy to involve insulation /heat decarbonisation though.

Love this image of the Bro Dyfi Community Renewables site. This was the first community owned wind turbine in the UK, and they've now added 300kW of Solar PV to the site. Every town and village in the country should replicate this combo.

Climate change isn't woke. Or rather, it's a bit woke and there's nothing wrong with that, but that's not all it is. Political and business leaders urgently need to reject the lazy thinking that is trying to paint climate action as an elite endeavour. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/43...

Incredible analysis of where the profits from the global fossil fuel crisis flowed to. If we repeat the same ownership pattern with renewables then the outcome will be the same. This is why community energy is so important!
NEW PAPER: The 2022 fossil fuel price jumps caused an oil and gas profit explosion. We show the US reaped the largest profit increase (USD 275bn) of any country. Big Oil claims this benefits the American people. In fact, 51% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A 🧵
