Not only were the major contributors to inflation non-discretionary, but they were mostly unaffected by demand or interest rates rises. But yeah, go ahead raise rates again because you gotta look tough, I guess?

Still not over this matter of fact pronouncement in yesterday’s @FT

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again:

Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead?

It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

The @ecb & the 🇪🇺 central banks (@banquedefrance, @NBB_BNB_FR/@NBB_BNB_NL, @bundesbank, @bancodeportugal, @BancoDeEspana, @bancaditalia 👋) can fight climate change AND improve the living conditions of Europeans...

How? By granting low interest loans!

Just in case anyone reading this is thinking about debating a crackpot on a famous podcast. Here are some important tips for how to debate from a former debater and coach.

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

Of all the pain and hardship caused by the global fossil fuel price crisis, countries like Norway have been big, *big* winners.

Norway earned more from selling climate-disaster-causing energy products in 2021+2022 than it did between 2015-2020.

So if we assume H2 leaks as much as CH4 (could argue up or down - it’s hard to handle but also most likely to be handled in high-safety industrial contexts), then H2 has leakage emissions of 0.1tCO2e per GJ leaked vs 0.54 for CH4. Small! But adds to importance of avoiding leaks.

@miriamlyons @GriffithSaul We've got you covered!

[Miriam Lyons @miriamlyons]

@dylanjmcconnell @GriffithSaul Love the visual! Curious whether the gains from efficiency itself are really as small as this suggests? Any reason we can't have both & cut final energy demand even further? Found this from IRENA which puts EE, RE, and electrification on the same footing economy-wide...

[Miriam Lyons @miriamlyons]

Looking for a slide that clearly shows the inherent energy efficiency gains from electrification - any suggestions #energytwitter? Maybe @GriffithSaul?

[Miriam Lyons @miriamlyons]

@RewiringAus @GriffithSaul Yay, exactly what I was after, thank you!!

[Miriam Lyons @miriamlyons]

@dylanjmcconnell @GriffithSaul Love this Sankey from the bottom of my heart, but I'm on the hunt for something visual that will be easy for non-experts to grasp in one slide - tall order I know!
