The UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget level should be set at 535 MtCO2e, an 87% reduction against 1990 levels. This country has a prosperous and secure future ahead. The fossil fuel age is over – it’s time to electrify the United Kingdom. theccc.org.uk/2025/02/26/end…

The UK’s Climate Change Committee @theccc advice on the 7th Carbon Budget is out. #Electrification provides 60% of emissions reductions by 2040. New woodland creation also play a role. Tackling #climatechange reduces exposure to fossil fuel price shocks theccc.org.uk/publication/th…

What's cheaper for providing flexibility, batteries or gas? Here's the weighted average accepted offers for storage and gas from Nov-Dec '24. It's one of my favourite charts as it calls out an easy way to reduce consumer costs - build more batteries.

It's impossible to overstate how electricity is going to completely rewire the energy system. The UK's useful energy in 2050 in a net-zero system will be 10% higher than in 2025, while it's primary energy use will decline by 33%. carbonbrief.org/ccc-reducing-e…

"Renewables are comfortably the cheapest and most effective form of electricity production [for the UK]" - indeed, something we have also found doi.org/10.1049/rpg2.1… - and yes, nuclear power costs much more. Reader David Toke

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

The cost of reaching net zero in the UK by 2050 is now predicted to be just 0.2% of GDP (about £4 billion per year). Spread this far and wide. It reveals Reform and the Conservatives' opposition to net zero for being 'too expensive' as just plain wrong.

“You cannot run diggers with electricity.” someone replied to a post on EVs saying the application of battery electric vehicles is limited. Well here you go - this is the biggest all electric digger in the world. canadianminingjournal.com/news/sms-deliv…

Thanks to The Telegraph for publishing my letter last week - correcting the record for Matthew Lynn after his column yesterday said “sales of EVs have stalled” Once more for those at the back: sales have grown, not stalled.  Here’s the evidence 🧵 telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025/0…

Once more for the people in the back, here is Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social speaking at #EVision last week. It's not that easy to describe how electric mobility will win in one minute, but Michael nails it. Really very little to add. The drivers' mindset. See you at a fast charger soon!⚡️

Latest Overnight Briefing is on how the government is quietly doing a lot of stuff that could prove pretty consequential in the aggregate.

Particle physicists, be careful. No more „measurement of inclusive cross sections“. Don’t mention a bias of your instrument or observable. Quantum physicists, don’t talk of Bell‘s inequality. SYSML engineers, don’t mention stereotypes. And no, this is not a joke.
