@IrelandJacquie @MDC12345678 @RenewableUKCEO @DouglasCarswell In England high pressure high volume fracking for shale gas is banned at depths of less than 1000 metres. This depth is far below drinking water supplies which are typically found up to about 250 metres deep.

@IrelandJacquie @MDC12345678 @RenewableUKCEO @DouglasCarswell The Environment Agency will not permit drilling or fracking in areas known as Source Protection Zone 1 (SPZ1). These zones are designated to protect groundwater drinking water supplies.

"Fracking wouldn't change that". This is why Brits are getting poor. Here in Mississippi electricity costs a third it does in Britain and household incomes surged last year

@GeorgeWParker A shortage of carbon dioxide, bioethanol or both?

New - First sign of potential Iran-related shortages. Govt to spend £100m on reopening mothballed Teesside plant making carbon dioxide, used in fizzy drinks, vaccines, food packaging etc ft.com/content/802d03…

@Litto54321 @GeorgeWParker @UxbEconomist07 Yes it’s the bioethanol plant that like the Vivergo plant in Hull, was commercially unviable without government support

@GeorgeWParker @UxbEconomist07 Mad Miliband will be very cross.. someone’s actually making highly dangerous CO2!

It can only be carried in existing gas lines by blending it at ~20% with methane. It leaks like crazy, burns invisibly (dangerous!). If generated by electrolysis, takes 3X power to make than is returned when burned. It’s a thermodynamic crime.

@ftenergy It’s a bioethanol plant which produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. The plant has struggled since being commissioned to be commercially viable

UK carbon dioxide plant to reopen over fears of shortages linked to Iran war ft.trib.al/eXBoGT0

@TimBrowning @afneil The price of gas on the UK’s NBP is set by demand vs supply. The supply is a mix of domestic production, Norwegian gas imports and LNG imports. The LNG is the most expensive and can be reduced by increasing domestic production

@afneil Why? LNG is a global product. I thought gas didnt have a global price? Are you retreating on that already?

We’re relying more on LNG to set the price because we’re allowing domestic supplies to decline and depend more on imported LNG supplies. A matter of policy. A bizarre policy driven by net zero zealots. Even in a mature field like the North Sea there is still a lot more gas to get out. Ask the Norwegians. Increase that supply and UK NBP hub prices will come down. Tax revenues will rise. Balance of payments will improve. Sterling will strengthen. And more jobs will be saved/added. Simples.

@TheGreenParty @CarolineLucas Show me the active renewable generators who are receiving less for their electricity than gas generators

"Investing in renewables is better for people's bills and it's better in terms of security." @CarolineLucas exposes the myths being pushed by those with vested interests in the fossil fuel industry.

@video4me @TimesRadio So far this year, £269.7 million was paid out in CfD top up subsidies during January, £210 million of which went to offshore wind generators. February saw £265 million in top up subsidies, with £214 million of that going to offshore wind

@video4me @TimesRadio The government doesn’t make a profit or a loss from CfD’s. The scheme is funded by energy supply companies via their customer bills. £2.65 billion in top up subsidies were paid during 2025.

“It defies logic for us to be buying energy from abroad.” Though Ed Miliband may be correct in saying that in the long term renewable energy will be cheap, in the here and now we should be taking any economic advantage we can from the North Sea, says Times Radio presenter @adamboultonTABB

@EllieChowns Another clueless politician. A better idea would be to scrap carbon taxes and set the RO value to £0/MWh, which is the one being pushed by some Tories

The fuel price shock we're seeing now demonstrates just how risky our continued dependence on oil and gas is for British households. The govt must do all it can to bring down energy costs - decouple the price of electricity from gas and wean us off dirty volatile fossil fuels.

@video4me @TimesRadio Most offshore wind farms under RO will have been receiving the £1/MWh plus £116.92/MWh (£64.96 x 1.8). Some like the Humber Gateway offshore wind farm will have been receiving £1/MWh plus £129.92/MWh (£64.96/MWh x 2).

@video4me @TimesRadio During the £1/MWh period, the Burbo Bank offshore wind farm will have been receiving the £1/MWh wholesale price plus £213.50/MWh in CfD top up subsidies. Hornsea 1 and Walney Extension, both receiving £1/MWh plus £199/MWh in top up subsidies

There. Is. No. Global. Price. For. Gas. How often do you need to be told this? What’s the Henry Hub price today? What’s the UK price today? Are they the same … or even close? Let me tell you, for April 2026 contracts. Henry Hub, right now: $2.87/MMBtu UK NBP right now: $16.79/MMBtu So UK prices are 5.8x US prices. I don’t like calling people liars but you must know this, so what else is there to say?

@DeborahMeaden Excellent news? Dictating that all new homes built in the 2nd worst suitable country in the world for solar…must have solar panels fitted 🤡🌎

Excellent news…

@video4me @TimesRadio Let’s remind ourselves that offshore wind farms which are supplying the bulk of that electricity are receiving the £1/MWh plus £116.92/MWh under RO or £1/MWh plus an average of £149/MWh in CfD top up subsidies

There's a logic to this. Thanks to renewables, the 5% of our gas demand that Rosebank will deliver would be enough to balance the Grid this morning. As renewables increase, we'll be in this happy state more and more often. I'm not sure the drillers will be happy with £1/MWh (0.1p/kWh) though!
