It's astounding how people can ignore the fact Government spent £42 billion shielding taxpayers from the skyrocketing price of gas two years ago - the equivalent of all its spending on transport infrastructure this year - and that gas is still driving our high wholesale prices.
It's astounding how politicians and "industry experts" can watch hundreds of billions spent on grids upgrades, £12bn a year on subsidies, £2bn extra a year on balancing and £1.5bn on capacity backup, all for renewables, and then blame gas.

Nice to end the day with some uplifting news - the UK & India agreeing to work more closely to roll out renewables. And lovely that they were joined by UK offshore wind companies like Venterra. He's @Ed_Miliband & @LizziCollinge visiting a one of their factories in Morecambe last
Energy Secretary @Ed_Miliband was in India to agree action to accelerate the economic opportunities of the clean energy transition and champion UK businesses. The agenda also included agreeing climate action and closer working to boost renewables 🇬🇧 🇮🇳.

Timely report ahead of Govt's Clean Power 2030 response (expected tomorrow) highlighting just how significant the Welsh, Scottish & N Irish Govts are for delivering renewables (look at wind 👇). Cross-Govt collaboration has definitely been increasing, and we need it to continue
📢NEW REPORT: Everything Everywhere All At Once📢. ➡️Revealed: 95 per cent of onshore wind projects in pipeline are in devolved nations.➡️A four-nations approach is needed for the UK government to meet its 2030 clean energy targets .🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧.Read here⤵️.

Buried in this sad story there are three lessons for the UK:.1️⃣ We can secure new jobs in onshore wind - Vestas are looking at refurbishing the factory to focus on onshore wind blades, maintaining 300 workers (it was formally offshore). This is only possible because of the new.

Missed this last week - it's the best polling I've seen, post election, on the Conservative approach to net zero 👇. We've long known Lab/Lib Dem switchers are very pro, but this breakdown of Reform voters is new. In short, instead of looking at Reform voters as a block,.
3⃣ Voters tended to support a commitment in law to reach net zero by 2050. There was net support from:. 🔵 Reform persuadables (+4).🔵 Core Conservatives (+25).🔵 Potential Conservatives (+25).🔵 Labour and Lib Dem switchers (+53)
