If Greens win, Labour will think that means they need to attack the Greens, rather than adopt their policies. If Reform win, Labour will think that means they need to be more like Reform and adopt their policies, not understanding they lost because decent people don’t want Reform policies. Sigh.

Global solar and wind power surges despite US green cuts under Trump The IEA has cut in half its forecast for renewable energy growth in US this decade, and upgraded its forecast for India by 10%, putting it on track to become the 2nd largest renewables growth market after China.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

This is so deeply unserious. Throughout the entire 14 years of the Conservative government oil and gas licenses were routinely issued and for much of the period there was a policy of maximising extraction. Production still fell, the economy flatlined, and energy security got worse.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Linking green energy to your local school, your hospital, your workplace is a really smart thing to do. The anti-Net Zero movement wants to cast it as some top-down, abstract diktat that will make "ordinary people" cold and poor. So the fightback needs to emphasise its tangible, local benefits.

The amount of cash pouring into renewable energy products has reached a new record high. $386 billion USD was invested during the first half of 2025 alone, a 10% jump from the same time last year, according to new data from BNEF. The boom is mainly being driven by fast, small-scale solar.

There was a hint in 2024 that China's Carbon emissions had peaked due to their massive roll out of renewables, which continues. Now the data from the first half of 2025 confirms that CO2 emissions in China are decreasing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋

. It's odd how little environmental policy (whether good or bad) has featured in assessments of Labour's first year. If we're serious about making climate a major issue, we can't then ignore it when assessing the government's record.
