@ACJSissons @AnnaSophieGross Thanks Andrew. I'm glad you liked the article!

And Steve - thanks for the insight. I went down a rabbit hole researching why the beach looked so different to past photos but found no answers until now!

@WTMAtkinson @ConHome Good article! However, it is wrong to say that the ban on onshore wind has "remained a manifesto commitment". The 2019 manifesto does not mention onshore wind at all. Can you please correct that?

@lunanhead @RidgeOnSunday @SophyRidgeSky @Ed_Miliband Maybe I'm missing somthing but aren't all the already producing fields already licensed?

From this map it looks like the licensing round covers huge new areas.

.@KwasiKwarteng would you mind mentioning all of this to @trussliz?

[Danny Gross @danny_w_gross]

Our new chancellor @KwasiKwarteng earlier this year:
“Even if we lifted the fracking moratorium tomorrow, it would take up to a decade to extract sufficient volumes – and it would come at a high cost for communities and our precious countryside."

He continued: "And with the best will in the world, private companies are not going to sell the shale gas they produce to UK consumers below the market price. They are not charities, after all."

Another great point.

The energy crisis is hitting UK households harder than any country in western Europe according to the IMF.
Why? Because we're so reliant on gas to heat homes and make electricity.

The oil & gas lobby group @ukoog claimed yesterday that fracking for gas isn't inferior to any other source of energy. So I've just written a letter in @TheTimes to remind them that renewables are a thing.
@friends_earth

[Danny Gross @danny_w_gross]

The best way to reduce energy costs is to reduce our dependance on expensive oil and gas. We can start doing that now by boosting energy efficiency, ramping up renewable capacity, and electrifying heating, industry and road transport.

@InnaSovsun Putin would be welcome to have Kent and one other home county of his choice.

We have the space to double our tree cover, while growing the right trees in the right places. So @ZacGoldsmith are you up for it? @friends_earth #reforestengland

[Camilla Zerr @CamillaZerr]

Woa we have enough land in England to double tree cover, imagine that 😃🌱🌳🌲

But all these new trees will only be planted if we have government targets to make #ReforestEngland happen...

➡️@ZacGoldsmith will you take action & set a long-term tree cover target?

[Danny Gross @danny_w_gross]

The government is about to launch its England Tree Action Plan.

@ZacGoldsmith will you help to #ReforestEngland?

We need a long-term tree target, not just a smorgasbord of short-term tree planting initiatives.

[Danny Gross @danny_w_gross]

If we're going to tackle climate breakdown, we need to #ReforestEngland. We have enough land in England to double tree cover by growing the right trees in the right places. @ZacGoldsmith will you take action & set a long-term tree cover target?

[Danny Gross @danny_w_gross]

Boris: I need to find someone respectable who'll say that structural racism isn't a thing.

Tony Sewell: Hold my beer.
