65 leading UK scientists warn against new oil & gas drilling in North Sea; * 90% of North Sea reserves have already been extracted- further production will have little effect on global prices * further drilling will add to GHG emissions and undermine efforts to limit global warming buff.ly/xDc9YUs

The oil price hike *ought* to be a chance for European railways In 🇩🇪 for example 99% of long distance and 80% of regional rail passenger-km are on ⚡️ railways No transport mode is better sheltered from price hikes Can the rail sector seize the opportunity? jonworth.eu/rising-fuel-...

Fossil fuels suffer from this little thing known as intermittency. You have to build a whole back-up energy system for when the little boats get stuck. Not many people know this.

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar generation saved UK from gas imports worth £1bn in March 2026 📈Wind+solar were up 22% year-on-year in March to a record high for the month ⛴️This avoided the need for gas imports worth £1bn at current high prices www.carbonbrief.org/...

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

It’s never too late to start supporting independent bookstores instead of, you know, other places. 😌

Retired R Admiral Neil Morisetti said attempting to eke out last oil & gas from North Sea was “not the answer” to UK's challenges Lt Gen Richard Nugee: “Going for renewables gives greater independence, greater sovereignty, less vulnerability & more opportunity” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Oh.

Well played @privateeyenews.bsky.social 😂😂😂

University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills. www.euronews.com/2026/03/27/e...

But calling for it anyway, however ignorantly, will make a direct difference to what climate change denying donors pay politicians. So there’s that.

100k turned up to Tommy Ten Names’ hate march last year. 500k showed up to today’s protest against fascism and the far right. Love wins.

"Government data reveals 2.5 GW of new solar added in 12-months period, the fastest pace for a decade." This is huge. And it's only going to grow. www.pv-magazine.com/2026/03/26/u....

Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.

Important for understanding the context for Farage’s witless opposition to ‘net zero’.

Right now #wind is meeting 79% of the National Grid's electricity demand. https://winderful.uk

Wind & solar are currently producing 65% of Britain's electricity. Meanwhile, renewables now offer 30,000 more UK jobs than oil and gas. Meanwhile, we're in a climate emergency. Meanwhile, we're in a fossil fuel supply crisis. Meanwhile, the Tories and Reform want to scrap Net Zero. grid.iamkate.com

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Just saying. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/o...

Clean information and clean elections are as important as clean water. But are the regulators up to the job? The way GB News has quietly been allowed to become Reform TV should alarm us all app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

Earth's energy imbalance reaches record high. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The best time to have invested in renewables, walkable cities and transit to avoid the oil crisis shock was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.

The Associated Press getting on board. "The war in Iran is exposing the world’s reliance on fragile fossil fuel routes, lending urgency to calls for hastening the shift to renewable energy."

Official UK oil and gas statistics and projections suggest that 93% of the oil and gas that is likely to be produced from the North Sea has already been extracted. eciu.net/media/press...

The International Energy Agency is calling for people to cut oil demand by working from home more, flying less and driving slower, as the Iran war rocks global energy markets. ft.trib.al/gfbNyyI

I'll do all of this if governments do everything in their power to get us off oil and gas, which are the root of the problem. Quid pro quo Clarice!!

Every time there’s a fuel price shock, the same calls emerge: drill the North Sea. New @ukerc.bsky.social analysis cuts through the noise and explains why this argument doesn’t hold up. ukerc.ac.uk/news/drillin...

We need to be honest about Iran – and how our rampant greed for oil is causing mayhem www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We didn't just find his videos - we also found Farage's outtakes, which show when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, he appears quick to anger.

This is a big deal. A lot of lives saved through this.

Experts say claims drilling in North Sea will reduce UK energy bills are ‘sheer fantasy’ Research finds UK powered entirely by clean energy could save households up to £441 on bills annually, whereas maximising oil and gas extraction offer just £16 to £82 in annual savings. buff.ly/m3q700O

Britain’s electricity is currently 72% zero carbon. We’re defeating the oil barons, petro-state dictators, paid fossil fuel lobbyists, and every right wing grifter on the internet one wind turbine at a time. Cool Britannia is back, baby…🇬🇧⚡️♻️🔋😎

This is an enormous step forward for women of people.

Kier Starmer: "What gives us control is renewables. Our own home-grown energy which is then more secure and more independent. That’s why I think we should go further and faster on renewables. Let’s get control of our own energy…so we don’t have to keep worrying that our bills are going to go up"

Yes, there's still some way to go on the UK electricity system, but those blue bits of the diagram, showing wind and solar (& biomass) are going to keep rising, perhaps even more steeply The latest renewables auctions mean it's inevitable www.ft.com/content/1342...

Monday: We have won Tuesday: Iran is about to surrender Wednesday: High oil prices are good Thursday: There is nothing left to hit Friday: They have no army, navy or missiles left Saturday: HELP

Good news on a Sunday and in times of an energy crisis: the number of heat pump installations in the UK last year was over 4x higher than in 2020 new government figures confirm.

Great to see so many people enjoying the vintage buses on the 38 route today both on the buses themselves and from the streets. Smiling faces everywhere #saveroute38 @meghillier.bsky.social

U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week

'Rightwing politicians, Tufton Street junktanks and the billionaire press tell us our energy security will be enhanced and our bills will fall if we abandon net zero policies, ditch renewables and reinvest in North Sea gas' Fantastic from George Monbiot www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Heat pumps: ♨️ 3x more energy efficient than gas boilers 💨 No air pollution ❄️ Work in cold weather - just ask heat pump mega-fans Norway, Finland, and France

Good.

On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

Rising energy prices are pushing up inflation, especially in economies dependent on imported fossil fuels. The durable solution is structural: improve efficiency, accelerate electrification and scale up renewables. Energy policy is economic policy.
