The independent National Energy System Operator confirmed clean power by 2030 is feasible and reliable, yet critics with fossil fuel industry ties keep pushing back. @studossett.bsky.social examines who's really shaping the energy debate in our latest blog. 🔄 @businessgreen.bsky.social

The UK is successfully building a clean electricity system, so what explains calls to change course?
The UK is decisively moving towards an electricity system powered by renewable energy. In 2025, sources like wind and solar generated almost 50 per cent of all electricity in Great Britain on average. Gas provided just 28 per cent, and coal provided none of our electricity last year, for the first time in over 140 years.

💼Last week the Chancellor told the Bank of England to continue considering the materiality of nature related financial risks, as she did in 2024. 🌳But, despite publishing it’s big, twice yearly assessment of financial risks, the Bank did not mention nature once. (1/2)

🛩️ Aviation is on track to account for 59% of UK emissions by 2050 as other sectors decarbonise. Hydrogen powered flight offers a massive opportunity to change course while adding an extra £26bn to the economy. 📖 Read our new report: buff.ly/6GT94Ab 🧵 Summary 👇

Flying start: establishing the UK as a leader in zero emission aviation
In this report, we examine the challenges facing aviation and explore how hydrogen powered aircraft can transform the sector, cut carbon emissions and boost the economy.

My partner @annameisel.bsky.social new investigation veers into my world - environmental issues. I’m obviously biased, but this is important journalism showing how tyres from UK cars and lorries are damaging Indian people’s health and environment www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Millions of UK tyres meant for recycling sent to furnaces in India
The illegal makeshift plants cause serious health problems and huge environmental damage.

Energy security means national security ⚡ In this briefing, we explain how investment in the green economy can bolster both economic growth and defence by reducing living costs and reliance on volatile international energy markets. Read here:

What defending the UK means
In this briefing, we highlight that investment in the green economy achieves both by tackling the cause of climate change, reducing dependence on volatile international markets and tackling the cost of living.

In recent years, the @bankofengland.bsky.social has had a reduced focus on environmental risks, threatening the UK’s economic, price and financial stability. In this briefing, we outline what the Bank and treasury can do to get the UK back on track.

Great to see the new CCC CEO talking up the need to crack on with building clean flexible sources of power to complement renewables. We did some work on why the build it all approach makes sense and the need to end the capacity market's unabated gas love-in green-alliance.org.uk/briefing/why...

One thing I think about a lot is: we are told we live in abundance and the climate crisis means renunciation of that abundance. But actually we live in many kinds of impoverishment and deprivation--of hope, clean air, time itself, social connections, thriving nature. So as a writer, I think about...

Nature Minister Mary Creagh on the Dasgupta review “it was a report worthy of a Nobel prize. One of the challenges is how to work that into policy.” We’re working on just that at Green Alliance with lots more coming out soon.

Nature Minister Mary Creagh speaking at Green Alliance. “Without nature there is no economy, food, health or society.” She talks up the importance of natural capital for the economy - hopefully HM Treasury is listening. Our Dasgupta project has more on this green-alliance.org.uk/project/impl...

Head of Mission Control @chrisstark.bsky.social speaking at Green Alliance. The serious. As we called for, confirms a vaccine taskforce approach to clean power. It’s key for growth and freeing people from chaotically priced fossil fuels. Commits to a nature voice at the table.

Head of Mission Control @chrisstark.bsky.social speaking at Green Alliance. The fun: tried unsuccessfully to convince us that he didn’t choose his title. Motivated to prove wrong the 2030 clean power doubters. “We’re not pissing around” may become the clean power mission’s mantra.
