That's it I'm done with this place. I'm not supporting a platform where the owner incites race war in my country. The great work of this century is for humanity to learn to live in balance with the planet. We can't do that if we're constantly dividing and dehumanising. 🌍☮️🇺🇳

Wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside, and the wind is not blowing.

Why are oil & gas giants retreating from renewables? And why won’t “the market” deliver Net Zero on its own? ⚫ Fossil fuels thrive on scarcity. They are finite. That scarcity creates volatility and windfall profits — every supply crunch, from OPEC cuts to Russia’s invasion of

Running your economy on fossil fuels is like paying off a 35 year mortgage to a bank who once you've handed over all your cash will dismantle your house.
Offshore wind is like a fixed-rate mortgage at 10%, when the variable rate is only 4%. But with the fixed rate mortgage, you can only use the house when its windy and have to pay even more to stay in a hotel when there's no wind.

Given where Reform are in the opinion polls this is one of the most disturbing pieces I've read in a long time. The level of misinformation is astounding. Just shows how effective propaganda can be. https://t.co/LBAiuBXcG7

FACTCHECK: No, North Sea gas is not "four times cleaner" than LNG imports After Kemi Badenoch pledged to extract every last drop from the North Sea, we've been engulfed by waves of long-dead zombie factoids. "Four times cleaner" is one of the silliest.

Community owned offshore wind! Now here's something for the people of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire to take a look at.
Great to visit Denmark & the Netherlands - two of our closest North Sea Partners - to deepen our ongoing relationship and learn from their clean energy successes. Middelgrunden wind farm in 🇩🇰 is a community-owned, clean power project that powers homes across Denmark 👇📹

I remember 18 months ago when all the electricity was going to be used to make green hydrogen. 🙃
.@Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tells @POTUS his company will invest "at least $600 billion" in the U.S. over the next several years "to build out data centers and infrastructure to power the next wave of innovation."

VW has confirmed that the production ID.2all will be called the ID.Polo! Starting at £22k, that’ll have about 190 miles range, then a bigger battery one for £26k with 280 miles. 4.05m long (that’s 10cm longer than a Renault 5). There’ll also be a smaller ID.Lupo/ID.Up after,

💡 Energy bills are going up - again. From 1 Oct, Ofgem’s price cap rises. Millions will pay more this winter. And worse: it’s forecast to rise again in April 2026 - regardless of global gas prices. Why? Because the system is stacked against households. 🧵

We can either import: 1. Electricity via cables 2. Uranium 3. LNG and pipeline gas 4. Solar panels and wind turbines 5. Solid fuels like Coal, biomass 6. Any combo of the above. What we can't have is none of the above. Imports are just a feature of modern society.
The situation in Norway is getting critical. We normally import 1.4 GW from the south of Norway, but with reservoirs approaching 20 year lows, Norway may begin to restrict exports If not and the water runs out, we can expect to export 1.4 GW of baseload to Norway, creating a 2.8

1. The majority of UK crude oil gets exported as it's not compatible with our refineries, so this doesn't help energy security. 2. The physics of the atmosphere hasn't changed since the last election. Fossil fuels still cause climate change and need to stay in the ground.

This is the last Conservatives govs consenting too much Scottish wind without upgrading the transmission grid to bring the power South, not much Ed Miliband could have done about it. He's the one trying to fix it.
The wind farm exposing Ed Miliband’s ‘dishonesty’ 50% of Scottish wind farm “curtailed” [thrown away] in 2024 costing tens of millions Wind Price £112 / Mwh when gas fired price just £77 / Mwh Labour lies
