For the first time, this report lays out a definition of what "Clean Power" means for gas: -- "unabated gas should provide less than 5% of GB generation in a typical weather year" That sounds pragmatic👍

Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true. In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008. She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

COP29 lead negotiator Yalchin Rafivev says the current text regarding the new climate finance goal "needs to be streamlined". "There are still many options to be resolved... remember the clock is ticking and we only have 10 days."

Revealing op-ed from the #COP29 Presidency - not a super trustworthy or unbiased source, but confirms what we already knew. "we put [$250bn] forward because the global north had been simply immovable in our efforts to either increase this figure or announce it earlier." More 👇

1/Energy bills are set to rise again due to a spike in global gas markets, with wholesale gas prices up 15% since the last energy price cap was announced. This will put up energy bills because of our reliance on global fossil fuel markets controlled by petrostates and dictators.
