Britain is getting 29 new battery-electric trains. Built in Derby. And these aren’t little branch-line trains. The new TransPennine Express will be 121 metres long, carry around 300 passengers and travel at up to 110mph. Photo credit: Alstom Newt.

If you’re looking for an optimistic (and nerdy) take on the switch to clean energy in these troubled times, try this by @richarderskine.bsky.social. He uses a systems approach to argue we are close to a clean energy tipping point, at which it becomes very hard to stop clean energy taking over

Measuring energy usage in units of Primary Energy is like measuring nutrition in acres. People need food, not food waste or land inefficiently farmed. People need energy services not thermal waste or fossil fuels inefficiently extracted. Time to measure what matters. #PrimaryEnergyFallacy

Brent above $85. European gas back over €50/MWh as Hormuz escalates again. A reminder: A fifth of global oil and LNG passes through that strait. Every heat pump, EV and electrified factory shrinks this exposure. Electrons made at home cannot be blockaded in a shipping lane.

The German AfD is meeting Kremlin associates and pushing to reopen Nord Stream. This is what is often missed about the backlash against net zero: It is about who controls Europe's energy and vested interest groups want to drive us back towards dependency on Russian gas.

34.8ºC at Kew Gardens breaks its May AND June records by OVER 4ºC for its May record set in 1922 and by 0.2ºC for its June record set in 1976. Unprecedented heat for the UK in late May, and likely to be bettered tomorrow. A rounded 35ºC temperature should not happen in May.
Spaghetti plot showing Kew and Kew Gardens temperatures since 1881 with May and June records highlighted at 30.3ºC in 1922 and 34.6ºC in 1976 respectively. 2026 is plotted as a thick red line that nearly exceeds 35ºC with a value of 34.8ºC.

Today yet another solar generation record has been broken, as is perhaps regular for this time of the year. This one marks a milestone though: 15 GW for the first time, 50% higher than the peak during the previous gas crisis.

Just did the sums. UK gas at 110p/therm today, that's equivalent to £37.5/MWh. But a gas plant is only 50% efficient so it's costing £75/MWh to buy enough gas to make 1 MWh of electricity. Just fuel, no operation costs. AR7 solar came in at £65/MWh and onshore wind at £71/MWh. #renewables FTW

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Analysis published today by the UK Climate Change Committee shows that decarbonising the UK by 2050 would cost less than than keeping the system as is if just one 2022 style price shock happened again. This analysis took place before the current price shock by the way.

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
