The UK Prime Minister has written a comment piece in @theguardian.com endorsing #CommunityEnergy: "The climate crisis is not a distant threat. It is here and with us now... British people... are looking for ways to do their bit. Community energy gives them that chance." - Andy Burnham #Climate

British people understand the climate crisis threat. Today I’m empowering them to tackle it | Andy Burnham
With nearly £30m of funding, I’m giving communities power over local energy. They know the gravity of global heating, and they want to be part of the solution, says UK prime minister Andy Burnham

It's been 50 years since it became apparent that we had a risk-laden relationship with oil. We've had time for this but choices were made that ignored that fact.

It's been 4 years since the 2022 energy crisis. The UK spent £44bn supporting energy bills over that winter. We've had 4 years to prepare for the next one, to invest in a robust energy advice network, to build our capacity to retrofit homes. But we are woefully unprepared for the 2026 energy crisis.
