One of the great things about the campaign for leaseholder liberation is that you always have surprises.

Some good, some bad.

@ShaunBaileyUK destroying Forfeiture and the moral and economic basis for leasehold in the Lords yesterday is a classic.

There's currently an enormous of wave of basic income experiments in the US. The results are extremely promising. Entire communities get healthier, more cohesive, entrepreneurial etc.
So what happens?
Rich people lobby to ban all further experiments. https://t.co/q562Q88uLl

But they're BOTH so OLD! Gandalf can barely remember his passwords and even forgot that people called him Gandalf (yikes), while Saruman betrayed the Free Peoples of middle-earth and led an insurrection that stormed Helm's Deep. You can see how they're equally bad choices.

"This is the year the world’s green juggernaut becomes unstoppable
The greatest economic growth story since the industrial revolution has crossed a critical threshold"

Let's hope so - since 2020 clean energy spend - esp on RE, EVs, grids - has rocketed

"69% of the global population expresses a willingness to contribute 1% of their personal income, 86% endorse pro-climate social norms and 89% demand intensified political action"

Most people want stronger climate action and are prepared to pay for it

For the first time ever, peaks in global demand for coal, oil & natural gas are all visible this decade, based on today’s policy settings

Fossil fuels' share of global energy supply – stuck for decades around 80% – is set to decline to 73% by 2030 👉 https://t.co/ZRyW5BfC6o

The Net Zero Industry Act was touted as the EU's big response to the US Inflation Reduction Act. It has been in the making for a year. Now it will finally hit the books. Here is the lowdown on what you need to know about it.

I find this so intensely cringe

Also in a world struggling with isolation and loneliness strapping a computer on your face seems like a step in the wrong direction

Good morning with good news: Global sales of gas-powered vehicle sales peaked in 2017, dropped every year since 2017, and are down 23% from peak.

EVs were 20% of global auto sales and 35% of sales in China in Q4 2023. Global EV spending rose 36% in 2023.

We are now deployed in 7 out of the 11 streams that flow through Jamaica's capital.

Once Interceptors go live in the remaining 4 streams later this year, Kingston will become the first city to have completely tackled its plastic leakage!

...yes, and 36% of the world's emissions are from countries that are less than 2%💡

Firstly some new numbers to back up an old point: people's willingness to pay for Net Zero is no worse than most other major policy areas. (actually for some its better, incl among swing voters)

It's only the NHS which clear majorities are actively willing to take a hit for.

[Chelsea Bruce-Lockhart @C_BruceLockhart]

I made a giant graphic this week... to highlight just how many countries are already well into a period of fossil fuel decline in their power sectors.

Half of the world's economies (107!) are already five years past a peak in fossil power generation.
