It seems to have become commonplace to blame net zero for Britain’s high energy bills and/or weak job market… … and I guess I’ll have to explain again why there is very little evidence of this. Britain has plenty of economic problems; net zero is not high on that list (though climate change is) 🧵

I reckon 2030s is going to be a great decade. EVs and solar will drive all kinds of transport prices way down. Oil demand will be crushed by massive electrification of industry and transport. 2026-2030 though. It’s not looking great people.

We need to judge a political party by what they do with their power. The Green Party aren’t serious about tackling climate change. Large Solar Farms are the lowest carbon, lowest cost energy we can get. They are also more biodiverse than the farmland they will replace.

I don’t usually post about politics. But as a TV licence payer, I expect the BBC to do its job. “If one says it’s raining and another says it’s dry, you don’t quote both — you look out the window.” It couldn’t be clearer which side’s narrative accurately reflects the facts.

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

Pinchbeck acknowledges debate over cost of net zero. Says there is investment and cost required over the next 10 years, especially in grid and home retrofit, but the modelling shows benefits start to outweigh costs around 2040 and then continue to amass beyond then.

Other key challenge is residential buildings and electrified heat. There needs to be more progress here to get to half of buildings having electrified heat by mid-2030s before then ramping up through to 2040.

It seems to me that most of the harmful political acts of the last decade have come about because no one wants to explain the benefits of very important but unpopular things. Like the EU, legal aid and foreign aid. It would be nice if politicians actually led sometimes.

Some thoughts on the increase in energy bills under the price cap from April... 1. This is obviously bad news. We hoped that energy bills would gradually fall back to normal after the 2022 crisis, but we seem to have a new normal with bills now ~£700-£800 higher. www.ofgem.gov.uk/news/changes...

Grid reliability isn’t homeowners’ responsibility. It should have no impact on your personal decision to electrify. If you wanted to buy an AC or hot tub, nobody argues with you about the grid. It’s an anti-heat pump talking point — try it as such.

"More solar leads to more coal in China." This is true in the short term, but even then the effect is much less emissions. Long term we will produce solar with solar and the effect is no emissions. I suspect this hand wringing is often by people who can't see the forest for the trees.

A different way to put it: a little coal in China to produce solar goes a long way to reducing coal everywhere. And I was the first one to produce this hopeful chart, but I'm happy Carbon Brief and the Economist copied the design, (although the economist still needs to update to remove errors).
