And speaking of populism (and racism, hatred, fascism, etc) - if you want to chat more about this article, search me on blue sky (mcbrisbois).

I'm closing this account because I won't be complicit in supporting m*sk any more 5/5

'To go fast, we must go slow.'

5 years in the making, this @CoalTransitions paper highlights the dangers of rapidly pushing through an #energy transition from the top-down without taking the time to include people in planning and benefits. 1/5

3. Failing to include people in transition processes and benefits creates resistance. This is turning people toward populism.

If we neglect democracy in the energy transition, we neglect it in wider society and we'll get - well, exactly the politics we're getting now. 4/5

Energy geopolitics, once a tool of Western power, is resurfacing in a new era of climate change and US-China rivalry. This recent webinar featuring @CarolineKuzemko @GavinBridge9 and @mcbrisb explored how to reimagine this concept for today's world. https://t.co/5j96dqcWEV

🚍 £3 #Bus Fare – and What Next? As #Budget2024 approaches, @DrGregMarsden explores why a 50% rise in the £2 cap is about more than just fares—it's about the 3.7 billion people relying on sustainable and accessible public #transport

🤔How do UK citizens value reducing energy demand for their well-being? @tjfoxon1, @BrownSdc, @mcbrisb & @Gerardo_atc show people value energy-saving co-benefits, suggesting that policy should consider a shift to a 'wellbeing economy'🌍💡

[Sussex Energy Group @SussexNRGGroup]

Governments are often nervous about how well measures to reduce energy demand will go down with the public.

In a new article, @gm_mininni & her co-authors argue that these policies have co-benefits that are surprisingly popular.

A new article from @gm_mininni and her co-authors (including other SEG members @BrownSdc and @mcbrisb) explores how local context and social relations influence landlords' decisions about retrofitting properties.

This is really, REALLY not helpful. Markets and energy pricing regimes can change, physics can't. Heat pumps are the best solution for many.
