I agree that this is Step 1. A huge mental-model change is needed to get people turning up as well as turning down!
Consumers have been calling for ways to consume greener power and take the load of fossil-fuelled peak generators, and @NationalGridESO #DFS programme is an exciting and important step forward. But this is just STEP 1
Very well said. I have always been optimistic that technology options open up political options. But the opposite is too often true.
A few years back, I wrote this about technologies that don’t yet exist jackstilgoe.wordpress.com/20…

And electrification of transport: 22x faster pace required to reach net zero.
Getting to zero: Even on things advocates have massively invested in, like getting off coal, the pace needs to be 5x faster wri.org/publication/state-cl…
He beat me to it ;-)
CNBC: @SteveWoz is starting a ground-breaking #energyefficiency venture @EfforceOfficial, 45yrs after co-founding @Apple. Links biz upgrade needs w intl funds via a #blockchain register: Good news for planet & productivity!! 👏 cnb.cx/2VFHGj3 @CatClifford via @mollywebb
Looking forward to this!
How can we ensure #renewable #energy is embedded in plans for building back a greener economy and a healthier society?

Just had very good customer service from @Airbnb_uk and given how stressful this time is, that made a difference to my week!

Who knew that @idriselba has been working with @ConservationOrg for over a year, and though brought to tears by what he has seen, he still thinks we all can make a difference on climate change. Inspiring during a time when we really need it. #hope #education #climatechange

We have more renewables in the U.K. now than ever. But we can’t figure out how to turn off gas and coal for good. That’s because the economics keep ‘baseload’ and curtail renewables. This has to change NOW.

So it turns out their small EVs are wildly popular. But instead of massively ramping up production, adding shifts and so on, @VW is ceasing production. Anything to do with the fact that 2020 and 2021 are baseline years for setting 2030 emission targets? electrive.com/2020/09/06/sko…
Last week wrote about this with @ODIclimate and it was just $169bn. The numbers are climbing ... news.trust.org/item/20200825…

Times: As govt needs to engage the public on the difficult choices #netzero2050 may entail “Parliament has blazed a trail: this week ministers will be able to read the conclusions from the #ClimateAssemblyUK convened by six select committees." @NetZeroUK findings publish 10 Sept
Writing in this morning’s @timesredbox, @Emma_Norris on the new @instituteforgov net zero report and why ‘amid the fight against coronavirus and the Brexit negotiations, the government is losing sight of its most difficult task of all’

OPINION: "As governments try to rescue their pandemic-hit economies, they need to keep a clean energy shift at the forefront" write @mollywebb @energyunlocked and Angela Picciariello @ODIdev

Such a pleasure to work with the ODI team on this. Truly putting citizens at the heart of the energy Transitions they want is our challenge - and our massive opportunity
Since the pandemic started, $169 billion of new public funding has flowed to fossil fuels.
We should harness decentralised and digital technologies to drive a green economic recovery, say Angela Picciariello (@ODIclimate) and Molly Webb (@energyunlocked): news.trust.org/item/20200825…

Top #climatechange story from @BBCNews this week: now a ‘rising chance’ of exceeding the 1.5C global target. We can ALL make a difference to this, even while we’re at home. Make sure you’re part of the #cleanenergy revolution!

It is so hard to sort the good news from the bad, and to know whether or not to feel optimistic about the overall trends. But one thing we know for sure: Unless we transform our dependence on fossil fuels, this will keep happening

We've also signed the letter. Good to hear from @ofgem CEO Jonathan Brearley that "Every green electron traveling a short distance down an empty wire is cheap" - so consumers should benefit from their preference for it!

Thank you! In the midst of the wider inequality we need to confront, this is just one piece. But it does give us one small way to act.
kudos to my friend @mollywebb for developing app to assess your carbon emission: be in control of your impact!
