Can green policies make us less green? Climate policies can backfire by eroding ‘green’ values, study finds.

What has gone wrong at Zipcar – and is UK car-sharing market dead? Vehicle hire firms have struggled to succeed in London but other European countries offer examples to follow

"James Taylor, Zipcar UK, told MPs removal of the 100% EV discount could make car clubs “commercially unviable” in the capital." Guardian: shorturl.at/dfsPu Southwark News: shorturl.at/oizCz EV discounts should be kept for carclubs and discounts for charity users! #London #greenpolicy #ecotravel

That would work if we all got a universal basic income.

How Reducing the US Military Budget Would Also Reduce Emissions - Impakter New research shows that even with modest reductions in military funding, the US would keep a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere.

Slashing U.S. military spending isn’t just a budget move—it’s climate action. The Pentagon emits more carbon than many nations; cutting funding cuts jet fuel use, facility energy use, and greenhouse gases tied to defense. #ClimateAction #Defense #GreenPolicy impakter.com/how-red...

‘A clear majority’: Almost 9 in 10 MPs still support net-zero by 2050 - edie A poll of UK MPs has confirmed that 84% support the UK’s long-term net-zero emissions target, despite Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform leader Nigel Farage saying they would scrap it.

So whilst the powers-that-be endlessly debate and bicker, shall the rest of us just crack on and save the world ourselves?

Solar farms could benefit biodiversity in arable areas (Photo of an owl, standing on a fence post in front of solar panelling, and looking very regal.) Research by the RSPB and the University of Cambridge found that – hectare for hectare – solar farms situated in East Anglia contained a greater number of bird species and overall number of individuals than surrounding arable land. Those solar farms, which were managed for nature and had hedgerows around the edges and no grass cutting, supported more birds than those that were constantly sheep-grazed, found the report, which is published in the journal, Bird Study.

🦉 #Biodiversity is essential for healthy arable land, yet farming frequently puts local fauna at risk. #SolarFarms could be safe havens for local birdlife, and other animals, which would in turn improve the health of surrounding farmland.

UK: Rooftop solar panels could cut energy bills by 24% (Photo of house in the woods with rooftop solar panelling) A Resolution Foundation report, has called for means-tested grants or loans to cover the upfront costs that prevent poorer households from benefiting from solar energy. A 3kW solar panel — which could save as much as £440 a year — costs about £6,500. This is unaffordable for most low-income households. Meaning, those who stand to benefit most from lower energy bills are prevented from getting panels installed. Just 8% of UK households have solar panels, but a change of policy could lift 1.2 million people out of fuel poverty.

☀️ The cost of buying and installing #SolarPanels makes them out of reach to the people who would benefit the most. Assisting with those costs is a #GreenPolicy that would make a significant difference for many families.

The EU made more electricity from solar than coal in 2024 (Arial photo of a Solar Farm looking cool, and slightly surreal!) “Policy and markets in Europe have enabled renewables to drive down the shares of both coal and natural gas.” — Gregory Nemet, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and co-author of an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report Coal-burning in the EU has fallen by 68% since it peaked in 2003. In 2024, solar power generated 11% of EU electricity, surpassing coal at 10%. According to data from climate think-tank Ember, the role of fossil gas also fell for the fifth year in a row to cover 16% of the electricity mix. Their report calls for investments in batteries, smart meters and other forms of “clean flexibility” to help regulate the supply of renewable energy.

🚀 The #EU is on track to meet its 2025 target of 400GW of installed #solar capacity. And the 2030 target is “within reach” if it maintains the current pace of growth.

💨 Wind & ☀️ #SolarEnergy together, rose to 29% of EU electricity generation in 2024.
