China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - 50% higher than the US or Europe.
With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices than most Western economies.

2026 Bracknell Forest Community Climate Summit
Earth Day 2026 is focusing on the theme "Our Power, Our Planet" to highlight collective action, climate education, and the transition away from fossil fuels. Join Eco Rewards today and get rewarded for green and active travel. #earthday2026 @bracknellforest.bsky.social @bfcca2025.bsky.social
EU’s energy crisis response is broader than expected: remote work mandates, heat pump subsidies, EV leasing schemes — plus electrification targets and new laws to tax electricity below fossil fuels.

It's a race between electrification and catastrophe.
Heating oil prices are sky-rocketing around the world.
The Nordics have understood the risks of using fossil fuels for heating early on and transitioned away from heating oil almost entirely whilst phasing in heat pumps.
Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us.
And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Bracknell Forest Community Climate Summit 2026 will be on Wednesday, 8th July, at the Kerith Community Church. This year's summit is being sponsored by East Hampstead Park Hotel in Wokingham.

Is it time to return to the idea of delinking gas and power prices?
In this blog UKERC revisits options for breaking the link between gas and electricity prices in the light of the impact of the US-led attacks on Iran.

“Every five days, the sun sends 50,000 exajoules. That's equivalent to all of the fossil reserves we have in the whole world,” said Ember’s Daan Walter ☀️
Daan joined the DER Task Force to talk about renewable energy’s endless abundance.

It's a race between electrification and catastrophe.
The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of global oil. In 2025, the global EV fleet avoided the equivalent to 70% of Iran's exports through it.
Producing more oil doesn't fix oil vulnerability. Electrification does, permanently.

75% of the world lives in fossil fuel importing countries. Every $10 oil price rise adds $160bn/year to the global import bill.
The single biggest fix: EVs replacing imported oil in transport could save importers $600bn/year.

Over 50% of our electricity is currently from the wind. Net Zero gets closer everyday in Britain.

Go green! Save the economy!
Just 27.7% of British electricity came from fossil fuels last year. Remarkable how fast our electricity has been decarbonised.
