Good morning energy twitter. I want to slay a particular myth repeated in @DavidGHFrost's Telegraph article last week, set out below: /1

[alex thomson @alextomo]

Boris Johnson on @Channel4News “we are going to be much less phobic about domestic hydrocarbons.” That’s a green light for N Sea oil and gas and the Cumbrian coalmine (which will be instantly judicially reviewed).

[Magnus Davidson @DavidsonMagnus]

Scottish (and rUK) rewilders have spent years successfully mainstreaming rewilding via an unregulated land market and unjust land system.

It should come as no surprise that this unregulated and unjust rewilding is now facing scrutiny and criticism.

Blending hydrogen into the gas grid is an expensive and ineffective way to reduce carbon emissions says new @IRENA report and raises important equity issues.

Short thread on why.

I spent a fascinating day @FullyChargedShw and appeared on a panel to chat home tech. One thing that surprised me is how many people are not only talking #EV but linking #homeenergy.

I chatted to fellow panellist @LightsourceLabs

You'll often hear me talk about what is (rightly) expected from suppliers in licence conditions.

But @EnergyUKcomms Vulnerability Commitment is voluntary - here's how 11 #energy companies routinely deliver support that's above & beyond what the regulations require from them 👏

With over 80% of councils in the UK now “declaring a #ClimateEmergency”, Net Zero Go has been launched as the ultimate platform to help local authorities turn #netzero ambition into action 🎯

So if you're a fan of renewable energy, you'll like the UK's new Energy Strategy:

💨50GW of offshore wind by 2030
💨Up to 5GW of floating wind
☀️5-fold increase in solar by 2035
💚At least 5GW of green hydrogen by 2030
💨More onshore wind

Little thread on details/significance

[Simon Evans @DrSimEvans]

12/ Cutting emissions "requires" a "substantial reduction in overall fossil fuel use", energy efficiency, low-emission energy sources (eg renewables) and alternative energy carriers (eg hydrogen)

Renewables, EVs and efficiency would save money (blue bars on the chart)

Wooft. There’s your reading material folks.
