Environmentalist / town planner working on climate change: Mediocre musician. Climate change = an era, not an issue. My views.

I gave evidence in parliament with barbara Hammond @LowCarbonHub, @RebeccaWindemer + @cllrBridget.

It'd be easy to spend a great deal of £ reinforcing the elec grid to transport electricity up and down the country. How can we reduce the need for this? 👇

[CSE @HelloCSE]

Last month, CSE’s policy & influence officer, Dan Stone, gave evidence to parliament about electrifying the UK economy, renewables, and grid reinforcement 🔌

Here are his reflections 👇

@crisortunity @_wearepossible Sad to hear this, but best of luck with the next chapter!

[James Murray @James_BG]

Quick blog on yesterday's terrifying report on the projected economic impact of climate change. Yes, there are caveats to predictions like this, but equally, the worse case scenarios are worse still. https://t.co/mLER20eFDp

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@Adam_Grant_Bell We (@HelloCSE) agree about the need, potential for bun-fighting and cost.

Our question is have we done everything we can to reduce the need to move ⚡️ around? https://t.co/auThDr51gY

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@RachelRileyRR That is a sad story. Could we now hear some stories from Gaza

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@Jordan_W_Taylor Yes, sorry, you’re right. & It is fascinating. speaking with a friend about decarbonisation: She said we won’t need all these chemical industries anymore. We certainly will! The basis of modern society! Just oil as a feedstock rather than fuel..

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@Jordan_W_Taylor Maybe I missed something in your thread.. Will reread!

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis And in full public view too!

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis I suspect Josh that you might give me a good, though sobering answer! :-)

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis It’s very scary. I hope you’re wrong, but fear you’re not, and am doing all in my power to help make a better future. I have two kids (4 and 7) and to an extent am in denial.

How do you prepare kids for the future that we might have?! What skills / knowledge do they need?

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis Yep, I would totally try that

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis I meant the confusion. In the U.S. biscuits are savoury, as are scones i think?! And gravy on biscuits?! V. Confusing for a Brit.

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@jzellis How do you feel about British Biscuits and Scones?

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@JomauxJulien Would welcome thoughts inc what I’ve missed..

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@JomauxJulien Interesting .. I can see in Germany, people are not paid for offering flexible energy use. Similar in uk, only our FIT was entirely cancelled. But we are also not rewarding/ planning for flexibility. See further thoughts: https://t.co/auThDr51gY

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@AngelsRBestial @JomauxJulien Agreed. There’s a big risk of a two tiger energy system, with the rich paying LESS for their energy, because of the kit they can afford to use energy flexibly. Relation from gov needed to ensure this doesn’t happen.

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@Eyeswideopen69 I agree. She should be tried fairly in court, not made stateless..

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@createstreets In no world is this a short thread! But it’s lovely. I want to be there, to walk along those streets and go in those shops. Looks like an amazing quality of life.

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@ELPinchbeck Emma, I spoke at a House of Commons session on grid reinforcement. Seems doubtful that this will happen fast enough. We (at Centre for Sustainable Energy) don’t think we’re doing enough to minimise the need to reinforce. See https://t.co/auThDr51gY Hope you find it interesting.

[Daniel Stone @DanielStone1975]

@10kStonesPoet Very happy actually. 12 years in, and my wife (and kids) are the best bits of life..
