Clean energy is no longer just about climate - it’s about economics, security and industrial strategy. @MLiebreich's “Great Clean Energy Acceleration 2.0” piece for @BloombergNEF explains why the transition is now unstoppable, despite the noise. about.bnef.com/insights/clea…

🧵 Record-breaking day for Great Britain's electricity system! ⚡ 1/ On 22 April, we hit a new zero-carbon record, with zero-carbon sources providing 98.8% of our electricity.

Not a study, not a survey - but the actual live data from every @OctopusEnergy Cosy heat pump installed in real homes is now online. And it shows that over 80% of Cosy heat pumps were cheaper to run than a gas boiler over the last year and delivered a COP of 3.7 over the whole year (about 4.3x more efficient than a gas boiler) There’s so much disinformation from fossil fuel lobbyists on heat pumps - and anecdote based on bad installs or out of date tech - but we hear time and time again how much Octopus customer la love their heat pumps. Cosy heat pumps can run as hot as a boiler (70C ), can often be installed with no radiator changes and no new insulation, work with microbore piping, can often retain your old hot water tank if you have one. But so much more - comfort sensors in up to ten rooms, optional remote support and servicing, software updates to literally make your heating better without a visit. Effortlessly working with smart tariffs to save money. British designed, British manufactured and thousands of great British jobs. Helping insulate Brits from the last gas crisis, this gas crisis and more to come. See the data for yourself: octopus.energy/cosy-heat-pum…

🚨 Yet more EV misinfo in the press - this time, with support from the press regulator! The @DailyMail claimed the average EV costs £50K, more than 2x an average petrol car at £22K Completely wrong, so we complained to @IpsoNews Their response was quite something - read on🧵

Illinois: $1 billion in battery investment will save consumers $13 billion in capacity costs. This is what @JigarShahDC and I have been talking about the past years. As capacity costs rise while battery costs plummet, we will see more of this. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/11/…

Yes, the target set by the Government's Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate for the % of new cars sold by manufacturers in 2025 that are EVs is 28% But there's a big BUT here: Many manufacturers don't need to get anywhere near 28% to comply with the mandate Why?

On @BBCr4today this morning Stellantis' UK Director said the following: "EV sales continue to grow...but not at the level demanded by the government's budget legislation. Remember, we're tasked to achieve 28% this year" This is inaccurate - here's why: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002ln7…

A new study has found that EVs offset their energy-intensive production and become cleaner than gas cars after just 3 years, according to Duke and Northern Arizona University. Gas-powered vehicles were also found to cause at 2X as much environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs, and said the benefits of EVs can be expected to increase in coming decades as clean sources of power, such as solar and wind, are brought onto the grid. “While there is a bigger carbon footprint in the very short term because of the manufacturing process in creating the batteries for electric vehicles, very quickly you come out ahead in CO2 emissions by year three and then for all of the rest of the vehicle lifetime, you’re far ahead and so cumulatively much lower carbon footprint," said Drew Shindell, an earth science professor at Duke University and study co-author. “Accelerating the adoption of battery electric vehicles is a key strategy for decarbonizing the transportation sector which will reduce future damages and costs of climate change.”

Pleased to say we were recently successful in getting the @southwalesargus to publish a correction to an article in which they claimed that a local car fire was an EV... ...despite the fire service categorically saying that it wasn't southwalesargus.co.uk/news/2…

The @BBCNews continues to get its reporting on EVs wrong Quotes Vauxhall as saying "the [EV sales] target this year is 28%. At the moment we're running at 21.6% as an industry" Wrong Flexibilities, that the car industry lobbied for, lower the target for 2025 to 22%

Lots of Gov EV announcements in last 24hrs And lots of dodgy reporting The best/worst being this gem from @BBCNews "The average price of a new EV in the UK is nearly double the cost of a typical petrol car at £22,000" Categorically wrong - here's why: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5z…
