• 13 Sep 2024 We're very luck to have BRUSH Transformers in Loughborough. They are manufacturing the transformers we need for a Net Zero Grid and provide good jobs for our residents. It was great to visit them and see the work they're doing. https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1834581697825734717/photo/1 [Source]

• 28 Mar 2024 RT @darrenpjones: Great to be with @JeevunSandher in Loughborough to meet with innovators, start ups and academics working on the net zero… [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 Just nothing on Net Zero at all To give just one example, government's own target is 600,000 heat pumps a year Currently only on 60,000 Where's the plan for low-carbon home heating today? #autumnstatement2023 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 So those are the two key qs for today: 1) Will today's budget end our growth, public services, and building crisis? 2) Will it ensure we can actually get to Net Zero? Everything else is (mostly) just distraction (9/9) [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 Getting to Net Zero is good for the planet *and* good for growth We know this because we are already seeing it in the United States. Their huge investment in their green transition has led to the best economic recovery in the G7. We have (one of) the weakest. (8/9) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1727246193603027068/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 All we've seen in the past decade, and year, is rowing back on net zero targets That means : - higher bills today (because we are dependent on fossil fuels supplied by foreign dictators) - lower wages tomorrow ('cos we're missing out on green industries) (7/9) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1727246191455260968/photo/1 [Source]
• 22 Nov 2023 2. The Green Transition We’ve done most of the easy bit in getting to Net Zero Now, we need the greatest physical transformation we have ever seen That means retrofitting 19 million homes, it means installing charging stations and hydrogen refuelling pumps (6/9) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1727246189064802447/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2023 3) The United States is seeing *massive* growth in manufacturing investment That means better jobs for non-graduate (men) who have lost out as we transition to the service economy More growth, levelling up, better jobs. That's the economic case for Net Zero (3/3) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1707296663876849989/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2023 2) The Green Transition means the transformation of our physical world. That means jobs created *outside* major cities Levelling Up through green investment means we can create jobs in towns and rural areas across the country Net Zero = Better jobs (outside London) (2/3) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1707296661750349844/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Sep 2023 Q: How do we know the Green Transition will lead to greater growth, levelling up, and better jobs? A: Because we're already seeing it happen in the US Biden is spending huge amounts to transition to Net Zero. That's led to ... 1) The highest growth in the G7 (1/3) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1707296659535802455/photo/1 [Source]
• 31 Aug 2023 The next Labour government will transform our economy through green investment. For lower bills, higher wages, and better jobs. That's why it was so exciting to see world-leading innovation @CREST_lboro This is the kind of innovation we need to invest in to get to Net Zero https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1697154756475752619/photo/1 [Source]
• 31 Jul 2023 Getting to Net Zero will create a *net extra* 750,000 jobs in the UK Windfarms employ people too! https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1686029859280084993/photo/1 [Source]
• 31 Jul 2023 This year's Climate Change Committee Report already says we are off track for getting to Net Zero ???????? New Oil & Gas Fields and paying polluters more will make even it harder for us to stop emitting carbon. It's bonkers. https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1685985183109873664/photo/1 [Source]
• 28 Jun 2023 This government's entire Net Zero strategy is based on crossing their fingers and hoping we stop emitting carbon And now we're falling off track in almost every area This is too important to just hope we make it. We need cash and serious plans https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66032607 [Source]
• 23 Jun 2023 We'll need hydrogen powered cars, buses, and trucks to get to Net Zero. Britain should be leading the way to help make them And that's why it was great to visit the world-leading @intellenergy that makes hydrogen fuel cells right here in Loughborough https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1672267280330158080/photo/1 [Source]
• 15 Jun 2023 3) Building & promoting our own Net Zero industries for export means that we can help reduce carbon emissions at home *and* abroad While deepening trade links with our allies will also help us to secure the key imports we'll need for our future prosperity (10/10) [Source]
• 15 Jun 2023 2) A burning planet is not good for business. We cannot be prosperous nation without Net Zero And we cannot ignore the emissions that are embodied in goods that we consume here but are made abroad The emissions that we "import" are greater than those we produce at home (6/10) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1669251031094505472/photo/1 [Source]
• 15 Jun 2023 3) We urgently need to get to Net Zero But our current set of green jobs help people and places - graduates in major cities - that have already benefited from technological change While leaving the left-behind, well ... left-behind (4/10) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1669251025339916288/photo/1 [Source]
• 09 Jun 2023 Spending £28bn/year to get to Net Zero was always going to have to ramp up over time ???????? To get to Net Zero you have to get the projects ready and then spend the cash on them And we *have* to invest in Net Zero to get wages rising today and protect our prosperity tomorrow https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1667099025105977344/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Jun 2023 Smoke from wildfires -> Lung & Heat Problems -> Higher health expenditure & Smaller Workforce Investing to stop climate change is cheaper than letting the planet burn https://twitter.com/MarkRuffalo/status/1666435540558704642 [Source]
• 06 Jun 2023 1) We have to spend that £28bn a year *now* to get to Net Zero No ifs, no buts, we cannot wait if we want to stop the planet from burning. A burning planet is not good for business And future generations can only be prosperous if we stop catastrophic climate change (2/6) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1666084657992187906/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 May 2023 Our future prosperity depends on us investing *now* to stop catastrophic climate change It is much cheaper for us to spend now to stop catastrophic floods destroying our towns rather than paying to clear up the damage later https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1659105243135721472/photo/1 https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/1658776307742769152 [Source]
• 28 Apr 2023 A really important thread on what Europe needs to invest to get to Net Zero Responsible governments would invest in their future, but the EU Commission is standing in their way ???????? https://twitter.com/seb_mang/status/1651860340055916544 [Source]
• 15 Mar 2023 1) Lower bills (because insulation and renewables reduce energy costs) 2) Better jobs with higher wages outside London (because green industries have higher skills & pay) 3) Lower climate emissions & costs Now let's see what actually happens ... (8/8) [Source]
• 15 Mar 2023 To get our emissions down to Net Zero, we need to start making large investments *right now* Around £30bn a year to decarbonise our transport, buildings, and energy systems They will lower our bills and stop the planet from burning. Win-win. (7/8) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1635929187214139393/photo/1 [Source]
• 15 Mar 2023 3) Climate Change is *already* costing us billions a year If we don't get to grips with it, the costs will continue to rise Not dealing with climate change will cost us *7 times* more than stopping climate change We can't afford *not* to get to Net Zero (6/8) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1635929184244576256/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Nov 2022 Was at Charnwood Borough Council meeting last night The Conservatives voted unanimously against divesting the pension fund from fossil fuels Talking about Net Zero targets without action is meaningless. That's why we need to win. https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1589919654537224193/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Sep 2022 We're looking at around £45bn of extra borrowing *every year* to finance these massive tax cuts Getting to Net Zero costs about £30bn a year. I'm shocked #MiniBudget [Source]
• 17 Aug 2022 The Democrats have now passed the Bill that gives us a fighting chance of getting to Net Zero ???????????? That's a *massive* win and we should celebrate it! ???? https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/16/biden-signs-inflation-reduction-act-00052233 [Source]
• 12 Aug 2022 If* the Dems gain Senate seats & hold the House, then Biden could end up being the most transformational President since LBJ He could pass bills that halve child poverty and give all American kids a pre-school education. On top of his climate change bill. *(it's a very big if) https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1558094995147595777 [Source]
• 11 Aug 2022 When I was a kid, a 30 degree day was a once-in-a-summer thing. Now it's a regular occurrence. Dread to think what it will be like in 20 years time (if we don't get to Net Zero) [Source]
• 05 Aug 2022 Democrats will now be able to pass a climate change bill that gives humanity a fighting chance of getting to Net Zero (!) ???? They can only do that because they won the Presidency, Senate, and House You have to win elections to make a difference ???? https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/04/dems-agenda-energy-climate-bill-00049875 [Source]
• 28 Jul 2022 This deal is much better than expected. It gives humanity a fighting chance of getting to Net Zero This bill means a 40% emissions reduction by 2030. Bit short of the 50% needed to put the US on a 2050 Net Zero path, but close enough for us to get over the line https://twitter.com/burgessev/status/1552406051915538432 [Source]
• 19 Jul 2022 The economics are simple: we can't afford not getting to Net Zero https://twitter.com/rebekkarnold/status/1549396267922513925 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2022 Strategies, snazzy documents, ambitious targets, none of them will get us to Net Zero We need the cash to stop emitting carbon. And we need the Treasury to start paying up (3/3) [Source]
• 18 Jul 2022 One real world impact: Housing. We need to decarbonise our homes over the next decade The Government wants to install 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028 over the next decade. Current funding levels? 30,000 a year The funding gap for insulating social housing? £6bn (2/3) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1548940330514501634/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Jul 2022 We need to spend more cash *right now* to get to Net Zero by 2050 Around £28bn a year until 2030 and £16bn a year in the 2030s But we're not spending nearly enough. UK govt needs to spend £10bn a year by 2025. Current funding: about £7.7bn a year by 2025 (1/3) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1548940325770649602/photo/1 [Source]
• 26 May 2022 Bonkers part of windfall tax: Oil and gas companies will get a 91% tax deduction for money they invest in extracting more fossil fuels Why is the Treasury incentivising oil and gas extraction? If we want to get to net zero, we need to get that cash into renewables [Source]
• 11 May 2022 If the Government was serious about the cost-of-living crisis, levelling up, and net zero then it would start writing cheques. Not just writing these bills My head and shoulders reacting to the Queen's Speech on Sky News https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1524295744697610241/video/1 [Source]
• 10 May 2022 The Queen's Speech Verdict: Talk is Cheap With cash to actually achieve Levelling Up, Net Zero etc. it's all worth less than the vellum it's written on [Source]
• 29 Mar 2022 Yup. In monetary terms, the benefits of getting to Net Zero are £1.1 trn until 2050. Leading to a net monetary cost of 1% of GDP And that is an overestimate of costs. It doesn't account for health benefits or a planet that doesn't burn for the rest of humanity https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1508718416458395652/photo/1 https://t.co/e1FAhA5lti [Source]
• 23 Feb 2022 Here's (another) great reason to go to Net Zero. It stops us funding dictators like Putin by buying their oil and gas Energy makes up 25% of Russian GDP and 30% of its government budget. But EU/US sanctions won't touch it because it'll cost us too much https://www.ft.com/content/40b149bd-cbaa-418c-90df-00fa861e22f4 [Source]
• 14 Feb 2022 @claytonj944 With Obama - Obamacare, stopping a Great Depression, a chance at Net Zero, and a "Don't Do Stupid Shit" foreign policy I would say the other three are also seen as greats due to existential wars. Don't think you need that to be a great Prez! [Source]
• 14 Feb 2022 @HCChristopher With Obama - Obamacare, stopping a Great Depression, a chance at Net Zero, and a "Don't Do Stupid Shit" foreign policy After Lincoln, the US did get Jackson and reconstruction didn't stop him from being a great Appreciate views may differ :-) [Source]
• 07 Feb 2022 Moving to Net Zero doesn't just benefit every generation to come, it makes complete economic sense to do so Me for @LBC yesterday https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1490676972225130496/video/1 [Source]
• 07 Feb 2022 "Net Zero will cost us loadsa money" is a silly take *Delaying* our transition to Net Zero is what is costing us now. Fewer renewables and less insulation has led to our energy bills being £50 higher Great piece from @DrSimEvans for @CarbonBrief https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-cutting-the-green-crap-has-added-2-5bn-to-uk-energy-bills https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1490617328962359297/photo/1 [Source]
• 06 Feb 2022 Also on LBC at 9:05 chatting about cost of living and net zero [Source]
• 29 Nov 2021 Please see Net Zero spending for details. Spending too little in the next ten years will lead to much higher costs for every generation to come [Source]
• 01 Nov 2021 "You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children" - Greta Thunberg Sadly, true of this government too. They say we're on track to Net Zero. We're not. They aren't spending enough while cutting taxes on flying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFkQSGyeCWg [Source]
• 28 Oct 2021 Categorically untrue for 2 reasons: 1) The Net Zero strategy is not "fully funded" It said, "We don't want to spend the cash, we're hoping the private sector will. If they don't, well we think future generations will prefer a burning planet to more borrowing" (I paraphrase) https://twitter.com/itvpeston/status/1453481738328584200 [Source]
• 17 Oct 2021 The Treasury View has become a silly parody of itself ???????? For obvious reasons, it's better to spend too much on stopping climate change than too little https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/16/treasury-leak-reveals-rift-between-johnson-and-sunak-over-costs-of-zero-carbon-economy https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1449652104071684105/photo/1 [Source]
• 06 Oct 2021 @JohnSmi21372434 Question would then be about how the weapons were produced. So if a lot of your output is military production, then how "green" that is would determine how much CO2 you emit It could be that military production is inherently polluting but tbh I don't know the answer to that! [Source]
• 06 Oct 2021 Fun* fact of the day: CO2 emissions were higher, per person, in the USSR than the United States *(views on fun may differ) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1445734982018797568/photo/1 [Source]
• 04 Oct 2021 The PM has promised completely renewable energy by 2035 But talk is cheap and so far we've heard nothing on required the cash - we need around £15bn a year to get there Time for the Chancellor to show us the money https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/all-britains-electricity-to-be-green-by-2035-ns76tl7vm https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1444943293725425664/photo/1 [Source]
• 01 Oct 2021 Will be chatting to @NickFerrariLBC at 7:40 about how much cheaper it is to deal with climate change now rather than later It will cost about £300bn to get to net zero. And spending that cash now sooner rather than later will save us at least £450bn in the long run #makeitrain https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1443822989221396483/photo/1 [Source]
• 23 Sep 2021 Later today, the PM will lecture the UN on the need to deal with climate change by tackling "coal, cars, cash and trees" Hollow words - his government has consistently cut fuel duty -> more CO2 emissions from "cars" (P.S Gov continued to cut fuel duty after 2019 h/t @aveek18) https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1440971030151970822/photo/1 [Source]
• 14 Jun 2021 On climate change, the G7 needs to donate $100bn a year to developing nations to get us to net zero They're currently around $20bn short. And they donated ... $2bn more a year. The pre-briefed "Climate Change Marshall Plan" did not arrive https://www.ft.com/content/cdfd33aa-29f6-415a-9b69-3cf852892e4b (3/4) [Source]
• 31 Mar 2021 Why is Biden promising his $2tn climate plan won't add to the national debt? It should! Borrowing to stop catastrophic climate change is a great investment proposition. The return on stopping mass extinction, desertification etc. is *really, really high* https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/30/business/economy/biden-infrastructure-taxes.html https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1377178214070583299/photo/1 [Source]
• 06 Jan 2021 Always loved this Otis Redding song and the way he sings the line, "I left my home in Georgia ..." Going to spend the rest of my day listening to it on repeat and thinking about Biden's $2tn Climate Change Plan ???? https://open.spotify.com/track/3zBhihYUHBmGd2bcQIobrF?si=KxsyF0-MQ_Kp-4elOAZ93g [Source]
• 05 Jan 2021 @claytonj944 Spearheading the Paris Climate Accords that gives humanity a fighting chance of stopping catastrophic climate change and preventing a genocide in Libya places him in the same league as FDR. None of the other post-war Presidents come close, and pre-war was largely isolationist [Source]
• 20 Dec 2020 It's striking how much of his vision he achieved - on climate change, affordable healthcare, inequality, and stopping genocide (in Libya). [Source]
• 04 Sep 2020 In this week's pod, we covered everything from the impact of climate change in #Somaliland to how @XRebellionUK has changed climate policy in the UK "It's Not Easy Going Green" is also our best tile by far https://twitter.com/PoliticsJaMPod/status/1301788939334934528 [Source]
• 11 Mar 2020 #Budget2020 takes: -Growth: Will borrow and spend more to support growth. Better 10 years late than never????! -Poverty: Raising Living Wage & NIC thresholds doesn't help poorest hit by welfare cuts -Climate Change: Nowhere near enough - raising fuel duty not even *bare* minimum [Source]
• 23 Jan 2020 As an Economist, I'm happy to confirm that @GretaThunberg understands the economics of climate change perfectly well A burning planet is bad for growth Extreme weather is bad for jobs Climate wars are bad for trade https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/jan/23/greta-thunberg-told-to-study-economics-by-us-treasury-secretary-steven-mnuchin [Source]
• 21 Nov 2019 Climate Change: Green New Deal means *a lot* more investment and jobs with the use of regulation and Britain's soft power to help reduce global emissions. Under-appreciated policy: incorporating climate costs into OBR modelling could be transformative (4/12) [Source]
• 28 Oct 2019 1) Constructing new buildings is responsible for 8% of UK's CO2 emissions 2) But you pay more tax to renovate a building to reduce CO2 than building a new one that emits more 3) So let's change building taxes to incentivise lower CO2 h/t @WalterMenteth https://theconversation.com/refurbishing-old-buildings-reduces-emissions-but-outdated-tax-rates-make-it-expensive-125892 [Source]
• 25 Sep 2019 Yup. Economic growth is not incompatible with reducing carbon emissions and long-run economic growth *actually requires* us to fight climate change https://twitter.com/RebelEconProf/status/1176133086557245441 [Source]
• 06 Jun 2019 The economy won't grow if the planet literally burns. This isn't a hard choice. (P.S. Also not addressing climate change could cost 5-20% of GDP per year which is greater than the £70bn/3.5% GDP cost Hammond cites here) https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/06/cutting-uk-emissions-net-zero-cost-1tn-philip-hammond [Source]
• 29 May 2019 If we implement a carbon tax and then redistribute the revenue in lump sum payments to all, we would reduce carbon emissions & raise incomes for the poor Saving the planet while reducing poverty seems like a darned good deal to me https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047272719300453 #econtwitter [Source]

Climate change isn't something that is going to kill us in the future, it's something that's killing us now. https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/20190219_acaps_start_briefing_note_somaliland_drought.pdf https://twitter.com/JeevunSandher/status/1099243719050620928/photo/1 [Source]
• 08 Oct 2018 “Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen” [Source]
• 20 Feb 2018 @alexgfarb I agree that we shouldn't just split the difference between two different viewpoints for "objectivity" (climate change is real!) but we don't need to identify enemies. Can't we all try and get along? [Source]
