Proud to stand with @TaxJusticeUK and a host of other climate & trade union activists yesterday to call for a worker-led transition.
We need a fair and fast energy transition that protects ALL workers - and higher taxes on big polluters to fund it.
🇺🇸Extreme heat is killing ordinary Americans. Now storm season threatens hundreds more
Ordinary people shouldn't pay for disasters they couldn't prevent. But Big Oil should
Write to your Senator and ask them to sign the Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act ⬇️

Our @DomEagleton on the story of how the fossil fuel industry tried – and failed – to get the EU to label fossil hydrogen as a renewable energy.

Guardian coverage of my new investigation into the US fossil gas lobby, which dictated key parts of Biden’s response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
Europe doesn't need more LNG. Boosting renewables & energy savings allows it to quit Russian gas by 2025: https://t.co/olLhiHVwwA
BREAKING: We won our case against the UK gov's inadequate net zero strategy!
On the hottest day on record in the UK, the High Court has ruled that the government’s Net Zero Strategy breaches the Climate Change Act.
This is a landmark victory.
Great analysis of the draft EU rules for producing renewable hydrogen by @LoviMarta. If the wrecking ball provisions aren't struck out, we'll end up with vast quantities of dirty 'green' hydrogen, higher emissions & a brand-damaged industry 🛢️🔥🌍
Writing for @euobs, our @DomEagleton asks "is fossil hydrogen on its death bed?"
As it relies on increasingly expensive and climate-wrecking gas to be produced, it should be a no brainer. But #FossilFuel industry lobbyists are trying to keep it alive.

@PNCohen @AbigailDombey@heatpolicyrich@Zapaman UK electrolytic hydrogen produced with grid electricity will surely use renewable electricity, e.g. sourced through a PPA? Or will producers be able to use carbon-intensive grid electricity & call the hydrogen 'green'?
@taraconnollyGW @heatpolicyrich Energy losses from gas -> H2 mean anything between 4,700 & 5,500 m3 gas per tonne of H2 produced. Or, a f*ck of a lot.
the new un report on climate solutions does not identify industry lobbying as a problem in its summary for policymakers or technical summary but the full report documents it over and over again 1/
Do you want to help change the way the US gas export industry is viewed, by exposing its harms and influencing decision makers to shift away from bankrolling the LNG industry?

🧵 We @Global_Witness have been tracking where Russian fossil fuels are landing.
Oil Tank CB Carabic docked in at Purfleet, UK at 23.57 last night, carrying diesel (verified via @Refinitiv) from Primorsk, Russia.
