A reminder that as we fry in a #ClimateEmergency, the OECD and IEA put explicit fossil fuel subsidies we pay Big Oil at $1.5 trillion, while the IMF says explicit and implicit subsidies are $7 trillion Nothing short of insane and insanely irresponsible carbontracker.org/fossil-fuel-su…

So the ‘woke’-bashing ⁦Mail+⁩ lays into ⁦National Trust⁩ again. For doing a bit more to tackle climate change. To be clear we are not banning meat or anything like it, just having a look at making some sensible reductions. RT or like if you stand with us.

What ever your view on winter fuel allowance. Never forget that it’s the expensive nature of fossil fuels that causes these outcomes and for the need for tax payers to endlessly subsidise their high costs

Quite possibly that most ridiculous Net Zero strategy any government could come up with. A country blessed with vast amounts of sunlight and the largest global resource of geothermal (solar geothermal potential 60GW)

Truly fascinating watching the anti Net Zero crowd losing their heads because Labour “may not progress” with a Nuclear power project that has no investors and has made no progress in the 15 years since it was first announced.

I would argue that the years of fossil fuel lobbying against EV has failed quite spectacularly and has only managed to achieve damage to the European car industry. Great explanation below of European car manufacturing challenges 👇

The amusing thing about these X polls is you simply confirm your own bias with algorithms & echo chambers The reality is that in July the British public voted by 86% for Net Zero political parties and national polling places support for Net Zero at 61-70% #sadlittleworlds 😉

The fossil fuel lobbyists, media commentators & funded politicians keep on saying Net Zero and Renewables make us colder & poorer 96% of the U.K. population use expensive Gas or Oil heating and your electricity is tied to global Gas pricing Summary - It’s complete nonsense

The challenge for Nuclear advocates is they need to eventually turn the narrative that “Nuclear can be built quickly and cheaply “ into reality. Until then it’s just talking that lacks any credible plans and investment.

Andrew’s energy tweets are fascinating. Here he is retweeting a fossil fuel lobbyist who spouts endless nonsense. But what’s most interesting the hilarious uneducated drivel his followers post in response.

Remember when climate action delayers like Bjorn Lomborg, Michael Shellenberger, Alex Epstein, the Heartland institute and Steve Milloy claimed this wasn't possible:
