Also, will the Government re-think UK strategic gas storage and replacing the Rough facility in light of the current global crisis? It's closure certainly removed a cushion. Some tax-funded quick wins on home insulation would seem the obvious choice now. https://t.co/wfNALAcD9f
Fascinating Carbon Brief article. Crucially, high leccy prices driven by the current gas crisis mean that Contracts for Difference (CFDs) financed renewable projects are acting as a hedge and actually reducing 'green crap' policy costs on bills! https://t.co/KHKLOIP6H2
#BBCnews just listed 6 reasons for rising #energybills - but didn’t mention #Brexit as one of them.
Disgraceful that @BBC has caved in to #Brexiters pressure

To be fair @lner this may be due to peak time travel but e.g. 27/08/21 14.03 from London-Kirkcaldy as a single ticket £154.40, or on the same train L-E £79.20 + E-K £8.90. Total £88.10. A significant £66.30 or 42% saving.
@LNER@trainline@AvantiWestCoast@Meg_HillierMP@CitizensAdvice I disagree Steven. I recently travelled with LNER from London to Kirkaldy. The quoted direct price was approx £159. If I bought separate tickets from London to Edinburgh and Edinburgh to Kirkaldy the price came down below £90.
92% of planned #coal units globally would cost more to build than future cash flow they'd generate, finds Carbon Tracker research, even under a BAU scenario where countries implement fewer carbon emissions restrictions & miss #ParisAgreement targets https://t.co/7BQpWawTAh
