New report “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁” shows how history is rife with examples of positive economic and social tipping points & that with policy intervention by Parliament and Govt we can move towards a cascade of tipping points for #NetZero solutions

📉We forecast a record fall of 20% in EU fossil generation in 2023 - almost 2x the previous record in 2020. Why? Record growth in wind & solar, falling electricity demand and a return to normal for hydro reservoirs and French nuclear plants. #EER2023 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

I see Toyota USA's chief scientist Gill Pratt everywhere with his seemingly 'sober' claim that scarce lithium should be used in small batteries for hybrid cars (that Toyota is market leader in of course). He's calling out "EV-only extremists". And it's such utter bollox. 🧵

If you haven’t already seen it, I suggest you check out the fresh report form @EmberClimate. Very interesting reading on the rise of #renewables production & the declining outlook for fossil fuel generation going forward. You can find it here👇

Kudos to New AutoMotive for cutting through the guff and bringing us the FACTS on the UK's EV charging network. Read this as a primer standard.co.uk/optimist/plug-… And this if you're super keen newautomotive.org/research/on-th… And oh look 10,000 more electrek.co/2023/01/23/tri…

HOT OFF THE PRESS: New independent system cost study from ETH Zurich on decarbonising heating is out. Result: Green hydrogen for heating is more 2-3x more expensive, less efficient and has more environmental impacts than electrification. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"Absolutely no reason why the electricity billpayer should be picking up the tab for something which is essentially a way of the gas industry trying to save itself.” Bryony Worthington, author of climate change act, (rightly) lining up with net zero critics to block H2 levy

Since speaking out against the proposed 100% hydrogen village scale home heating trials in the U.K. I’ve been receiving lots of correspondence from worried residents. It’s time for a serious rethink. Cadent

The government says a new coal mine will be “net zero”. But can climate-friendly actions elsewhere truly cancel out its damage? prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/is-ca…
