Irish energy folks! I'm not normally one for self-promotion but I'm heading to Dublin next month for this event and would love to see many of you there!

Not great news for a Monday.

Looking forward to a nice weekend? Nisreen, Mohammed and their children will be spending the weekend setting up their tent on a patch of land after fleeing Gaza City. The cost to transport a family south was $1,000 plus $300 for a new tent. Please donate and share widely. gofund.me/8a4bbeef3

💸 New @re-set.bsky.social report shows how EP Group (€10.3bn) & Sev.en Energy (€0.95bn) have siphoned off public money across Europe. While people paid record bills, coal tycoons cashed in. 👉https://re-set.cz/download/freeloaders_final.pdf

Irish energy folks! I'll be attending the Energy Transitions summit in Croke Park on 15 October. I hope to see some of you there? energysummit.ie/agenda/2025/

Watching the left in the US argue about how they should or shouldn't react to Charlie Kirk's shooting instead of pouring every ounce of energy into gun reform at this very moment is really something.

The fact this request was even made is another sign of how low the Parliament has slipped.

Absolutely bizarre timeline we're in when the president of the European parliament is giving a statement about the death of an American rage bait artist

The think tank set up by the Stripe brothers (ironically named Progress Ireland) is now advocating for removing balconies from the design of Irish apartments to cut costs. Thankfully @ciarancuffe.bsky.social is a voice of reason against this nonsense. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Such crap reporting from supposed EU specialists - the CO2 regulation of vehicles is set out in legislation adopted by Member States' ministers and elected MEPs, not a 'Commission ban' - www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

See you there?

I am once again saying that clean energy is inherently cheap, and the reason we don't benefit from that is because the energy market doesn't let us. Great stuff here from my colleague @chrisgalpin.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🔎⚛️Nuclear reactors make a surprise (?!) entry on the EU Commission’s list of US goods with a 0% tariff in the newly published proposal and annex.

The fossil fuel industry is literally destabilising the life support systems of our planet and our policians are letting them. Incomprehensible stupidity and recklessness. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lovely to see Dieter endorse our proposal to take gas out of the market. dieterhelm.co.uk/energy-clima...

Anyone have any updates on the deal between the Commission and the German government on the introduction of a capacity market? @annahbrt.bsky.social @genicotd.bsky.social @nezim.bsky.social?

I'm on the Luas ahead of the Oasis concert and I've never seen so much Adidas clothes on my life.

While many of us are enjoying our summer holidays, escaping into air-conditioned hotels if it gets too hot, Palestinians in Gaza are suffering in sauna-like tents where temperatures inside are reaching up to 50C. Please consider donating to Nisreen and Mohammed. www.gofundme.com/f/help-nisre...

[mysterious circle of robed figures] John Boyne: dark lord! dark lord, help me! JK Rowling: whatsss wrong? Boyne: i'm being bullied! Boyne: me! john boyne! Boyne: author of the boy in the striped pajamas Boyne: [whispers] a fable

Quick reminder: Just because it’s not a fossil fuel, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing.

QTWTAIY “Wishful thinking about future tech is not a coherent plan, and certainly not a plausible basis to allow the huge increase in emissions from a third runway at Heathrow. It's kicking the problem down the road for a future government to deal with” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Another dystopian headline. The right to Palestinian statehood is a right, not a bargaining chip to be given away to stop them being genocided. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Just pathetic. I'm ashamed to be European.

If you want to hear me on RTÉ Radio 1 explaining why the EU-US trade deal is a fantasy and a very bad signal about the direction of Europe's energy transition, listen here (from 6.25): www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

This is not surprising and yet bizarre...

This image tells you what you need to know about how 'civilised' the 'West' is. The Global South is the Global majority.

Nice Q&A on capacity mechanisms by @cleanenergywire.bsky.social including a link to our recent report into European capacity markets: www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/q... We also analyzed which utilities have won the most subsidies for gas plants. beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/06/26/f...

Zero mention of the climate and broader power system implications of projects like these. And yes it's an AI data centre projet. Come on @irishtimes.com, you can do better than rehashing an Amazon PR and putting it on your front page. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

Your regular reminder that AI is crap. These are rules for TSOs not DSOs.

Why isn't the medieval siege and intentional starvation of a population on the front pages of every newspaper? Why isn't every single journalist asking one question to our politicians: what are you doing to stop the starvation of millions of people? And the ones speaking out are the terrorists?

We fight for #ClimateJustice because activism is not terrorism. This September we take to the streets to draw a clear line against violence, against injustice, and against those wrecking our planet and climate✊ Join us in our link👇 http://to.350.org/lh0Tj

What is this? It’s a political stunt from a fossil-fuel funded party, which will increase costs to British people, & through seeking to stop new renewable investment, lower energy security In practical terms it is like behaviour of anti-British foreign agents www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Absolutely horrifying that headlines like these haven't stopped for almost 2 years. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Not in line with climate goals ❌ 5 major US fossil gas export projects are so polluting they fail the “Climate Test” based on the US Department of Energy’s 2024 models. Read the new report out today by @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social, @earthworks.bsky.social & @oilchange.bsky.social 👇
