Average annual energy bill to rise by 10% to £1,717 in Great Britain from October. For "100%" renewables tariffs, this increase is absurd. Sort it out @Ed_Miliband https://t.co/hUn0NqOWBf
I’m here at the Southwark Crown Court where the judge has given 5 years to @RogerHallamCS21 and 4 years to the others from @JustStop_Oil - brutal sentences.
The Government will unleash a UK solar rooftop revolution.
We want to bring this win-win technology to millions of addresses in the UK so people can provide their own electricity, cut their bills, and at the same time help fight climate change. ☀️

.@CSkidmoreUK not pulling any punches — accuses Daily Telegraph of deliberately running stories undermining the energy transition
Says the newspaper uses net zero as clickbait
Wow, that was quick.
The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.
Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"

Labour confirm they will fully end England's ban on onshore wind and bring large-scale onshore wind farms into the NSIP system.
Reminder: since Putin’s invasion, Ukraine has installed more than 12 times the onshore wind turbine capacity than England.
BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced mandatory housing targets and an end to the onshore wind ban to get "Britain building again" https://t.co/c4K8U6fS0A
First 24 hours on the job as Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. It was a pleasure to meet the brilliant civil servants.
My message- together, we will deliver the bold energy and climate plan our country needs.
It is a privilege and honour to have been appointed as Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.
This government has won a mandate to deliver a bold plan for energy independence, lower energy bills, good jobs and to tackle the climate crisis.
That work begins now.
"Hug a husky," and all that followed (for a short while), seems like a very long time ago now. Why would anyone working in sustainable energy or the environment vote Conservative?
Ranking the UK election manifestos on environment, nature & democracy, @Conservatives score only a quarter of the points that @UKLabour do
@GreenpeaceUK and @friends_earth came together to assess their manifestos against what needs doing
