Remember back when "BP" briefly changed it's name to "Beyond Petroleum"?
BP’s new boss prepares for battle with oil giant’s green investors. Meg O’Neill wants the energy company to focus on fossil fuels. Some shareholders have other ideas.

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market

New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader

Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here

And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

After selling out some wonderful shows in February, Solastalgia is coming back to @sohotheatre.bsky.social later this month for 3 more nights.

Since then we've had a baby and now there's an oil crisis.

It's an epic tale of fatherhood, finance, and fossil fuels

Ok. Here we go.

I'm looking for £800 to put both my shows onto the EdFringe site.

A CERTAIN APPEAL is a show about my fight with DWP and PIP to prove I'm disabled

WHAT'S IN THE BOX is my cult panel show with a box

Wanna help me get these to Edinburgh?

Wealthy people fly? Keep them on board.

Column | Do men or women have worse farts? Science has the answer. Yes, scientists have studied whether men or women have worse farts, what makes them smell and why air travel tends to make people gassy.

Finally.

You're a busy man.

You’ve got to have standards…

Even robbers wouldn’t take money that supports destructive and expensive fossil fuels

😬UK gas prices just hit highest level since 2022😬

At current prices…

* New wind & solar from latest "AR7" auction would cut the bill for UK gas imports by £5.5bn/y
* A single (1) home heat pump would cut bill for gas imports by more than £600/y

www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-why...

52% of U.K gas consumption is for heating and cooking (mainly heating).

The Government committing to the simple task of delivering a heat pump, electric oven, and induction hob at every home in the land, to reduce emissions and increase energy security, should be a strategic national priority.

Only context that is missing is that the short term inflation will spike interest rates again and affect renewables investment. Needs to be a real case for dual interest rates or a way to shift this artificial depression

1/ Disruptions mean countries will rush to exit US-led oil order

Worst case scenario for oil companies (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“

i.e short term pain but Long: Iran war will accelerate ongoing STRUCTURAL shift to solar+EVs+batteries

​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee The independent, statutory body tested its cost and energy security conclusions against different scenarios. It found that the total additional cost of a single fossil fuel price spike of 2022 magnitu...

The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

This framing is incredibly helpful and must be repeated until we are sore in the face

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Energy security rests not with the US but in the North Sea We must be able to keep the lights on and our houses warm without relying on the goodwill of Donald Trump

This is much better than the usual ‘drill, baby, drill’ editorials. But it still overstates the case for new licenses by a sizeable margin and is guilty of a very big omission.

The British public have been offered policies to boost growth for the last 3 decades and after failed promises have decided maybe growth isn't the panacea it is claimed to be.

Earth is now heating up twice as fast as in previous decades Since 2014, the planet has been warming by about 0.36°C per decade, according to an analysis of five temperature datasets, raising fears that climate tipping points could be crossed earlier than expected

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

It's mad that we'll once again try to tackle inflation (caused by fossil fuels increasing the price of energy) by raising interest rates, which will in turn make the real long-term solution (not fossil energy sources) more expensive in the short term. Monetary policy is homeopathy.

The only solution is moving off fossil fuels and low interest rates for renewables

YES!!! 🙌
