The last LNG tankers from the Gulf arrive in the next 10 days. After that, many countries face a sharp drop in supply.

Qatar's Ras Laffan — 20% of global LNG — could be offline for 3-5 years.

Fossil fuel import dependence is an energy security problem, not just a climate one.

I don't know if I'll ever stop smiling.

We've all done something very special. 💚

Will AI and data centres be main drivers of future electricity demand?

No. Biggest drivers will be electrification of industry, transport & buildings. When powered by clean electricity, the benefits are huge: vastly higher efficiency, dramatically lower emissions & cleaner air.

2/2 The price for offshore wind has been agreed at 40% lower than the cost of building and operating a new gas power plant.

1/2 Today we’ve taken a monumental step towards ending the country's reliance on volatile fossil fuels and lowering bills for good, by delivering a record-breaking offshore wind renewables auction.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

Unthinkable 20 years ago when I started to work on energy:

The world may finally be hitting peak coal, as wind, solar and hydro continue to grow and will overtake coal generation perhaps already in 2026.

Join the first webinar of our four-part series, as part of @london_climate's #LCAW2024.

We'll delve into 'Navigating the Net Zero transition for cities and regions'. Discover how local authorities and stakeholders can drive effective place-based local #NetZero action.

💥Wind & solar are "fastest-growing electricity sources in history" – new @EmberClimate report

⛰️They're growing faster than demand: Peak fossil fuel power in 2024 – then "inevitable" decline

🏭They already shaved 22% off fossil power, saving 4GtCO2/yr

World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target

- Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for humanity, poll of hundreds of IPCC scientists finds

Striking, stark frontpage of the Guardian today...

"Scientists stunned by planet's record Sept heat"

"I'm still struggling to comprehend how a single year can jump so much compared to previous years"

'World transitioning to efficient #renewables would cost $62 trillion.'

'But save trillions in #energy costs every year afterwards – meaning the whole transition to pay for itself in less than six years.'

Suella Braverman is wrong.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem.

But we know what the problem is…

Quite a letter, this.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

This is morally obscene. It won’t improve energy security or lower bills - but it will shatter our climate commitments & demolish global leadership. Govt is complicit in this climate crime - as is Labour unless they pledge to do all possible to revoke it.

BREAKING - #Rosebank oilfield just given go-ahead - the greatest act of environmental vandalism in my lifetime, causing emissions equal to 28 lowest income countries, busting #climate targets & doing nothing for energy security since vast majority is for export #climatecriminals
