It's a pity that techbro grifters overpromising and underdelivering new #nuclear power are likely to make things harder for legitimately interesting businesses that have real potential to contribute meaningfully for #climate and #decarbonisation.

Electrostates, Petrostates and the New Cold War, Adam Tooze
London Review of Books lecture, Podcast, 5 Aug 2026"China is racing ahead in electrification, while the US turns its back on green energy in favour of a new era of fossil fuel machismo. An alignment between the three major petrostates – the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia – no longer looks implausible. The outlines of a new Cold War are becoming visible, one which will be determined by a novel mixture of ideology, critical technologies, supply chains and control of energy flows. How will these geopolitical dynamics play out – and what will it mean for global warming?" >>

Please no, don't do this. We urgently need to accelerate global action on #decarbonisation and UK leadership on this is now more vital than ever. Surely, with signs of increasing #climate breakdown all around us we can't throw this away for the sake of extracting a few more drops of oil and gas from the North Sea - oil and gas which would make no difference to UK #energy prices or security.

Reconfigurable Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts
Are Reconfigurable Renewable Energy Industrial Precincts, the key to solving the last 1% of electrification? The race to fully decarbonise Australia’s electricity grid will soon be nearing its endgame, but the final stretch will undoubtedly be the most difficult. While wind, solar, and battery storage can comfortably manage 98% of our annual electricity demand, it’s just the remaining 1–2% that presents a challenge: the Winter Dunkelflaute. Derived from the German word for "dark […]https://envirocomms5.wordpress.com/2026/07/29/reconfigurable-renewable-energy-industrial-precincts/

Asset Retirement Savings
Pretty much everything about decarbonisation is being framed by the Fossil Fuels Industry in such a way that it look a lot harder and more expensive than it is. No more so than when it comes to "cost." Politicians in Australia, aligned with the Fossil Fuels Industry, have claimed the cost of Net Zero would be as high as $9 Trillion. This truly staggering number is of course intentionally daunting and designed to derail decarbonisation and deflate moral. But as with all things decarbonisation […]https://envirocomms5.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/asset-retirement-savings/

Another good story… #electrification of households and #PVpanel with #PVBatteries installs.
I only wish we could see the same kind of progress in #decarbonisation efforts nationwide… sadly that’s not the case. And, given #coal mine expansions and #gas licences getting the go ahead lately, our #emissions targets are looking rather frail.

🇪🇺 EU proposes slowing down cuts to carbon emissions for businesses

The Climate Consensus of 2019 Is Gone — Europe Needs a New One - Social Europe
The Commission's upcoming proposals on carbon markets & electrification will signal whether Europe still means to decarbonise
Rather than seeking to recreate the coalition of 2019, the EU should use this moment to develop a new political approach to #decarbonisation that reflects today’s political & economic realities.https://www.socialeurope.eu/the-climate-consensus-of-2019-is-gone-europe-needs-a-new-one

#Lact’Union gets EUR 50 million to modernise and decarbonise dairy production
The EIB is lending EUR 50 million to French dairy cooperative Lact’Union to expand capacity, modernise plants, reduce emissions and move into higher-value nutrition products.

Already law in France but for the UK the idea “will not be taken any further at this point“.
This is a significant failure of government.

Cars are the most heavily subsidised product on earth
When we talk about subsidies, we usually think of a check written by the government to a farmer or a tax credit for buying an electric vehicle. But if we widen our lens and look at the true cost of doing business, there is one product that stands alone as the most subsidised commodity in human history. It isn't wheat, it isn't trains, and it isn't wind turbines. It is the car.(Car in this article refers to, all passenger vehicles including "pickup trucks.") The car is a consumer product […]https://envirocomms5.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/cars-are-the-most-heavily-subsidised-product-on-earth/

It has been three years since this conference occured. Three years since a panel of very knowledgeable people have presented alternatives to the madcap economic systems which are leading us to a dead planet (at least for humankind and many of its econsystems). These alternative address major areas requiring dramatic changes:
#Wealth distribution to end #poverty and #inequity
#Decarbonisation to keep our planet alive
#Equality, #education and #enpowerment for all, especially #women
#Sustainable #food production and distribution
An end to #Consumerism and #GPD measured #Growth without advocating #deGrowth
And one more I forgot :( sry. (I should’ve taken notes)
It’s a long video, but if you’re searching for solutions to our social, environmental and economic #trainwrecks, this is a will spell them out for you.
This information has been widely disseminated to educators, activists, political leaders and economists worldwide. So my questions are: What’s holding us back? Why aren’t we seeing something other than a global rise in #Fascism #FossilFuelUse the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Billionairism and #Oligopoly ?

Decarbonising heating won't come down to one technology. Renewable fuels, efficient combustion, electrification, heat recovery — the right mix depends on local needs. Our take on Eurofuel's recent Oilon visit 👇

First They…
There is a great saying you may have heard before, when it comes to change... First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.When applied to clean energy and decarbonisation we are now very clearly at Stage three; “Then they fight you.” After decades of being completely ignored and then decades of being ridiculed, the clean energy and decarbonisation industry is now under constant attack from the fossil fuels industry and its supporters, because it is, […] -
