Not only were the major contributors to inflation non-discretionary, but they were mostly unaffected by demand or interest rates rises. But yeah, go ahead raise rates again because you gotta look tough, I guess?

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again:
Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead?
It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

The @ecb & the 🇪🇺 central banks (@banquedefrance, @NBB_BNB_FR/@NBB_BNB_NL, @bundesbank, @bancodeportugal, @BancoDeEspana, @bancaditalia 👋) can fight climate change AND improve the living conditions of Europeans...
How? By granting low interest loans!

GetUp’s First Nations’ Justice Team’s #WriteYes strategy & campaign is one of the few bright sparks on the Voice horizon. Have just chipped in- worth donating & sharing IMO: getup.to/ezMQ1cJCo1mFk

Just in case anyone reading this is thinking about debating a crackpot on a famous podcast. Here are some important tips for how to debate from a former debater and coach.

A big part is that debating is an entirely distinct skill. A great scientist with all the facts on their side could easily appear to lose a debate against a crackpot if they weren’t skilled at the format.

Of all the pain and hardship caused by the global fossil fuel price crisis, countries like Norway have been big, *big* winners.
Norway earned more from selling climate-disaster-causing energy products in 2021 2022 than it did between 2015-2020.

So if we assume H2 leaks as much as CH4 (could argue up or down - it’s hard to handle but also most likely to be handled in high-safety industrial contexts), then H2 has leakage emissions of 0.1tCO2e per GJ leaked vs 0.54 for CH4. Small! But adds to importance of avoiding leaks.

Looking for a slide that clearly shows the inherent energy efficiency gains from electrification - any suggestions #energytwitter? Maybe @GriffithSaul?

Africa bears the least responsibility for the world’s climate crisis but faces its most severe consequences.
