Hey folks - please help support this pioneering community energy company with a new locally owned solar farm - guide as how to do that here: transitiontownlewes.org/want-ouse-vall…

Support the Ovesco planning application by Friday 13t May, here: bit.ly/3l2UKLX

Everyone, including the world's leading scientists, the UN, the UK's climate advisors: new oil and gas will result in an unliveable planet and will not solve energy prices Kwasi Kwarteng: the scary young people shouted at me so I'm gonna misrepresent their demands and block them

I have had some folks ask why I got rid of gas for central heating. This graphic gives a fairly good hint

Have a look into the state of the grid capacity and how that’s being funded. If the grid were renationalised all net zero options become easier and less beholden to shareholders

Great positive piece on buses in the Yorkshire Post this morning 🙏

Magnificent piece of writing. A must read and essential message. Shame on critics of Jack Monroe

I disagree. The grid is a monopoly. It could and should do more. Privatisation is not working.

'The volume of raw sewage being dumped into rivers will remain hidden after the government rejected a recommendation by MPs that water companies should be required to measure it.' Unbelievable! Also presumption of planning against pollution rejected. thetimes.co.uk/article/b7ed86…

Appalling

Rachel Maclean has just solved the cost of living crisis - turns out all you need to do is get a better paid job and work more hours. For example, you could become and MP and claim £218,000 in expenses on top of your £80k salary like she did last year.

This is just going to keep happening over and over again because Ministers are being sent to do media rounds armed with absolutely nothing; no policy at all. It's entirely unsustainble.

Median installation cost of an air source heat pump is £10.5k based on MCS Nesta. Another misleading article by The Telegraph using a single case to produce a scare story. Same rebuttal applies as to recent Daily Express article. x.com/janrosenow/sta…

When October price cap rise begins Bank of England expects 40% rise (on top of 54% in April) to £2800 a year. That's about 1/3rd of the state pension (average payment is £8530) and 2/3rds of a single person's Universal Credit of £4018 (88% if <25). The another rise in January.

I asked ⁦Gill Furniss MP⁩ The Shadow Secretary of State for Roads if she’d join ⁦FairCharge⁩ in campaigning for more EV charging signs on roads- especially motorways - and she agreed. This is so important and so easy to remedy.

Paddle creek up etc….

With bells on

Did he tell you about the green Gas thing?

Accelerating at an accelerating rate axios.com/newsletters/ax…

UK government must ‘supercharge’ efforts to build up UK’s heat pump industry to phase out gas boilers, says @CommonsBEIS committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/…
