🔴 NEW 🔴 Reform has received £24 million – two thirds of its income – from fossil fuel interests. Farage’s pro-oil party wants to scrap clean energy projects and massively expand North Sea exploration. 📝 @desmog.com analysis with @adambarnett.bsky.social

What these extraordinary numbers make clear is that Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests https://www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/reform-uk-nigel-farage-millions-donations-fossil-fuel-interests-climate-science-deniers/

This Aussie trucking firm switched their fleet to electric last year, eliminating the cost of 30 dirty diseasels. They've since built 2 charging sites powered by 4.4 megawatts of solar + battery storage, plus 15 rapid chargers. Electric tech ain't slowing down, so come join the winning team. 🔋

@johnmanningpct.bsky.social #Solar I found a local electrician to fit solar on my garage. 1600W solar for £2500 as no scaffolding needed,which is a least another £1k if needed. Octopus energy would give you a quote for a potentially larger system. Cheapest Storage I found is Fogstar £2k+ inverter

Politico: "Today is curtains for the 88 remaining hereditary peers who have had their sitting rights axed by Labour. It’s a moment in history, poignant or otherwise, 27 years after Tony Blair promised more reform." See ya! 👋🏼

France plans to ditch all fossil fuels by 2050. “France announced a ‘first of its kind’ plan to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045 & gas by 2050…The roadmap was published as dozens of nations gather for the first-ever international talks on how to transition away from planet-heating fossil fuels.”

Genuine achievements like this need recognition if we aren't just black-pilled End Times enjoyers.

New study reckons fossil fuel power generation has peaked across OECD countries. There may be an energy security case for some continued fossil fuel development, but worth recognising it would be investing in an industry that's about to enter structural decline. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528872...

@danneidle.bsky.social How much does the Treasury lose with mileage allowances? Company vans chugging away while parked,as they can claim the fuel cost back at 45p per mile . Why are the taxpayers subsidising this obvious waste?

This will reduce global CO₂ emissions by about 150 million tonnes per year In the short term, this is a reduction about 5 times greater than Biden's emissions reduction policies, since scrapped by Trump, would have achieved

Norway sold 12 petrol cars in February 2026. Out of 7,272 new passenger car registrations, 98% were fully electric. Just 67 diesel & 12 petrol cars were registered. Hybrids? Only 66 in total mostly plug ins. More in my new Substack newsletter coming out every 7 days. Sign up here: t.co/In5lBaF2ox

I know I am lucky, but I have also been installing this stuff over the last 20 years. This was my solar generation yesterday. 64.1 kWh As well as running the house I added 40 kWh to the car which is approx 150 miles. No matter the politics, the technology works.

Wind power is on a roll around the globe. Here’s where onshore and offshore turbines are rising: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/wind/world-offshore-wind-us-retreat

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Stock markets are too high and set to fall, says Bank of England deputy. Speculation mania has inflated share prices. AI is overvalued and bubble will burst just as the dotcom bubble did Shadow banking built on debt and poses danger. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the UK, solar farms are becoming bird havens.

Boom time for Chinese solar makers as Middle East oil crisis drives demand www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

In 2025, electric buses hit ~56% of new EU city bus sales. Add 4% for hydrogen and zero-emission pushes ~60%. From ~12% in 2019 to majority in just a few years. This is how diesel fades. Not through headlines, through procurement decisions. Cost always wins & all roads lead to #Bettrification

About 40 cars plugged in at Exeter Services, drawing a total of about 2MW, on a grid that is 86% solar atm. This displaces about a thousand litres of fossil fuels an hour. The energy revolution is faster than realised.

There is a special place in hell for Green Party councillors who oppose solar. In the face of a climate emergency we must expand renewables fast!

Strong…. It’s certainly getting publicity, which is what it’s meant to do

Some actual good news to end the week. On Wednesday afternoon, fossil fuels provided 1.2% of the UK's power, as solar generation set fresh records. www.businessgreen.com/news/4528787...

On my timeline I see a lot people assert that our efforts have done nothing to address our climate crisis Reality: Deployment of solar PV, wind, nuclear, electric cars and heat pumps since 2019 has prevented 3B tonnes of CO2 annually, or around 8% of global emissions 🔌💡 go.bsky.app/redirect?u=h...

Great Britain today has smashed its record for solar power (which was set only a couple of weeks ago) Up from 14.4 GW to 15.2 GW! Solar power was supplying 41% of all electricity demand at the time.

Stupid games... Stupid prizes.

Cargo bike use in London has doubled. With petrol getting more and more expensive, is it time to think about getting one? Yes, says TV's Dr Chris Van Tulleken, it can save thousands. And it's good for our health & environment. Read all about it: cleancitiescampaign.org/want-to-save...

#Diesel #Shortages "However, in a sign people are perhaps using their cars less to cut down on petrol and diesel usage amid rising costs, the amount collected in fuel duty in March was the lowest for any month since July 2023." Last #Irandeal took 2 years! www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Chinese solar exports doubled in a single month to reach a record high in March 2026 - 68GW Every extra new solar panel is destroying current and future fossil fuel demand. The Hormuz closure is already having long term impacts www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

What an absolutely mad statistic. I bet in person capita terms that the real outliers are going to be Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Semi-regular reminder that Ecosia is a great European search engine alternative to Google. Market share has increased over the last year from 0.12% to 0.17% Still a minnow, but it’s growing!! Oh, and it can be set as the default search engine in iPhones!

Rooftop solar is great, as I've bored on about at length. But it can't replace building large-scale solar developments. It is simply far more efficient, and we need it to hit net zero. Good read by @jamesomalley.co.uk open.substack.com/pub/jamesoma...

I've written up some tips on installing solar panels in the UK if you're lucky enough to own your own home (and roof). These are just tips that worked for me - I'm sure others will have more. If it helps anyone at all I'll be delighted.

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

If anyone actually thinks the media are going after Keir Starmer and get him to resign, I have a message for you: they are not doing that. They are going after a Labour Prime Minister and trying to get them to resign. 1/2
