  The public back action to tackle climate change - much more than we think. But a lot of misinformation and vested interests loudly shouts down the majority. But tackling climate change is also the economic opportunity of the century and how we maintain energy security. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/2009605375935627776/video/1 [Source]

  When it comes to talking shite I’ll trust the near-universal scientific consensus on the human-made climate crisis and the 80,000+ evidence based studies over random Twitter people any day of the week. https://twitter.com/trevnonumber/status/2007529969656934464 [Source]

  2025 was a record breaking year for cheaper wind and solar and 2026 will see even more of this. Our mission is clean power by 2030 - to maintain our energy security, bring down bills, create thousands of new jobs and tackle the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/BBCNews/status/2007059913873207566 [Source]

  5⃣ Those who would leave the British public exposed are those who oppose the clean energy sprint, which is the only way to give us energy security, bring down bills, create jobs, and avoid the spiralling costs of the climate crisis. [Source]

  4⃣ The report is clear that clean energy means energy security. Fossil fuel shocks caused half of recessions since the 1970s. In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, gas price spikes cost the UK an extra 1.8% GDP. In NESO's net zero pathway, a similar shock in 2050 would cost 0.3%. [Source]

  3⃣ When factoring in carbon costs, NESO finds that costs are £36bn cheaper annually if we hit our 2050 goals compared to a scenario where the UK slows its climate action. [Source]

  2⃣ The report doesn’t say that a net zero pathway is more expensive, it says when you account for carbon costs, “the holistic transition pathway is the cheapest from 2025 to 2050” with “enduring savings beyond 2050.” [Source]

  1⃣ The report doesn’t say that net zero will increase long term energy-related costs, it says it will significantly CUT them: “costs could drop from about 10% of GDP in 2025 to around 5-6% by 2050.” [Source]

  Of course we can always hope for greater ambition. But 190 countries signed a deal and I’m glad the UK was represented by Ed and a team fighting for a plan to tackle the climate crisis and not our opponents who would throw in the towel and diminish the UK’s role in the world. https://twitter.com/ed_miliband/status/1992513741796360238 [Source]

  The North Seas offer a huge opportunity for renewable energy if we collaborate with our European neighbours. It was great to join Energy Ministers from across North Sea countries in Ostend, Belgium recently to discuss greater cooperation. https://x.com/mgshanks/status/1990137299665920126/photo/1 [Source]

  Great to join the @centreforlondon conference today. Cities like London have a crucial role in tackling climate change - an abundance of world class businesses, cutting edge innovation and economic opportunity. Together we will improve communities and tackle the climate crisis. https://twitter.com/centreforlondon/status/1987857084419858516 [Source]

  Renewables in ???????????????????????????? are paid for by consumers across the UK. Grid upgrades, CCUS, hydrogen and energy storage in ???????????????????????????? - all backed by UK investment. While the SNP push more and more division, working together across the UK delivers the energy system of the future. https://twitter.com/johnswinney/status/1986464528322748827 [Source]

  Looking forward to speaking at the Just Transition Commission Summit in Edinburgh later. Here’s the gist of my argument ???? https://twitter.com/andrewjquinn97/status/1983444963989012724 [Source]
