Changes to regulations around development of nuclear power, to be carried out this year, could make it easier to build on sensitive and important wildlife sites and near to homes. This is irresponsible deregulation and could be a disaster for our wildlife. theguardian.com/environment/20…

I’m not. So the U.S. war against Iran is making a strong case for nations around the world to seek energy independence'. Relying on fossil fuels does open the possibility of being coerced by those supplying those fuels. Better to rely on wind, solar, hydro etc.

More from Paul Krugman: 'It’s also the fact that relying on the United States for LNG, which is what doing things Trump’s way would amount to, is itself unsafe. Are you sure that Trump or a Trump-like future president won’t cut off energy supplies to nations that annoy him?

from nations that are untrustworthy, often exploitative and located in regions that frequently devolve into war zones'. The Trump administration are amongst the untrustworthy. Imagine being wholly reliant on them for oil and gas! Wind, solar, tidal, geothermal are safer bets!

From the economist Paul Krugman '...there is another reason for nations to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels: security. In a dangerous world, it’s infinitely safer to rely on the sun and the wind than to depend on fossil fuels that must be transported long distances,

We are heating the planet faster than ever, the rate of heating almost doubling over the last 10 years. If this continues, it would lead to long-term exceedance of the 1.5°C limit before 2030. We must reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero asap. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Unfortunately the cry for more gas drilling will become increasingly shrill even though it has no rational basis.
Dale Vince@DaleVince

.@g__j Jackson’s op ed in the telegraph today is incoherent - for example he says we need to open the North Sea to new drilling because of the war in the Middle East, that makes no sense. The energy price problem we have right now can't be solved by new gas in five years time - it’s a ridiculous suggestion to respond to this crisis in this way. He goes on to say more gas from our North Sea will protect us economically, but he also acknowledges that we don't set the price of that gas, global markets do - the same ones that have jacked the price this week due to the war.  No amount of north sea gas can save our economy a single penny - while we let global markets set the price. This guy is a government advisor…Jeez.

The facts are on our side and we must keep hammering them home in as many ways as we can. Every time Reform and the Tories lie, exaggerate, pedal fantasies, we have to call them out.

A key dividing line in the next general election and in the period running up to it, will be around net zero, drilling for more oil and gas and climate politics generally. We have to tackle head-on not only the fantasies but actually the lies of Reform and the Tories.
Ewan Gibbs@ewangibbs

The British right are pedalling a fantasy of self-sufficiency through North Sea oil and gas. This has no serious basis in reality. Britain has been a net energy importer for 20 years. it has nothing to do with net zero and everything to do with decades of declining production🧵

The marginal cost of gas-fired power in the EU has increased by 51% as a result of the escalation in the Middle East. In 2022, Europe and the world learned the hard way, that relying on gas power means high price risk for consumers. Now we're learning the same lesson again.

These will explain the claim, break down the existing GGCs, demystify terminology, and support reps in using these tools in bargaining. We’ll also develop a Green Knowledge Toolkit, a ‘How to Green Bargain’ guide, supported by short instructional videos.

The NEC Green Committee is revising its plans. Instead of waiting indefinitely for the new GGCs, we’ll press ahead using the current commitments and our Green Bargaining claim. This means starting a series of bargaining schools with Groups and National Branches.

This delay means previously agreed actions—like issuing a negotiators’ briefing, producing a branch note, organising reps’ meetings, seeking national talks, updating PCS Education materials, and producing a video—are all on hold until the new GGCs finally appear.

Our green reps meeting looked at the Greening Government Commitments (GGCs). The 2021–25 cycle ended in April, and we’d hoped to build new activities around the next set of commitments. But recent Parliamentary Answers show the new GGCs won’t be published any time soon.
