We’ve built cheap energy but we’re still pricing it like it’s expensive. The UK uses a marginal pricing system, where the last (most expensive) generator sets the price. That’s usually gas. So even when most of our electricity comes from cheap wind and solar, households still

I’ve been saying two things in response to the fossil fools calling for more drilling in the North Sea - both are cutting through. First is we don't set the price of our own North Sea oil and gas, second is we have very little left, around 10%. More drilling can't help us with

.@KemiBadenoch displays her total lack of understanding of the energy sector. She argues for more drilling in the North Sea to protect us from this energy crisis - seemingly oblivious to two very important facts. The first is we don't set the price of our north sea oil and gas -

You can’t afford a coal mine. You can’t afford a gas turbine. You can’t afford an oil rig. Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can. But you can afford a solar power station on your roof. Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

In this age of war our addiction to fossil fuels is destabilizing the climate, global economy & global security. Now more than ever, we must accelerate a just transition to renewable energy. Renewables deliver climate security, energy security & national security.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

Latest in 'drill baby drill' news: University of Oxford says a UK powered entirely by clean energy…could save households up to £441 a year In contrast, maximising oil and gas extraction from North Sea would offer savings of just £16 to £82 https://t.co/yeOu3ZpvD6

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal. The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling. But will this Congress, which brayed endlessly about the "Biden crime family," probe it? Not a chance.

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Will AI and data centres be main drivers of future electricity demand? No. Biggest drivers will be electrification of industry, transport & buildings. When powered by clean electricity, the benefits are huge: vastly higher efficiency, dramatically lower emissions & cleaner air.

Nigel Farage wants all police officers to routinely carry guns. The shooting of innocent civilians by masked government agents in Minneapolis is the worst of Trump’s America. We cannot let it become Farage’s Britain.

"The world is now pulling the rug from under the US. Central banks are buying gold, getting rid of dollars and US treasuries. The dollar will collapse. This is just an American crisis. The rest of the world will benefit. America is headed for an economic crisis that'll make the

We've added to our reporting on the shooting of Alex Pretti. This video looks in further detail at bystander video footage - and analyses the Trump administration's description of the events that day. It's produced with my colleagues at BBC Verify. https://t.co/Ib1Pvk7grk

Angus: Donald Trump is furious that he was made to look like an absolute buffoon in Davos, and that the revenge was coming fast and quick. And what do you do the next day? You start raising the issue of breaking Canada apart. This is the Donbass playbook. Exactly. This has been

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

WORTH REPEATING: Texas has 2.1M undocumented immigrants and Florida has 1.2M. Minnesota has 130,000. Don't let anyone tell you this is about immigration. It never was. Trump lost MN three times. That is what THIS is about, and it’s impeachable.

At the UN Partnership Forum, a key meeting for international cooperation- DSG @AminaJMohammed highlights the importance of civil society participation. To tackle inequalities, it’s essential to work across society and include all communities in decision-making! #Partnership4SDGs

Could it be that we’ve reached maximum Trump? Three climb-downs in a single week: Greenland, Britain’s record in Afghanistan, and now Minnesota. The lesson seems to be that it pays off if you stand up to Donald Trump sufficiently strongly. Others will surely take notice.

“It’s an idea of one man and one man’s power.” Speaking to @IsaCNN, Mary Robinson calls out the damaging consequences of President Trump’s Board of Peace for the multilateral system and the international rule of law.
