The last LNG tankers from the Gulf arrive in the next 10 days. After that, many countries face a sharp drop in supply. Qatar's Ras Laffan — 20% of global LNG — could be offline for 3-5 years. Fossil fuel import dependence is an energy security problem, not just a climate one. https://t.co/fx6Rp8o4kw
Will we see rationing of oil and gas? It's now very possible. Past crises show ~10% of energy can be saved through conservation short-term. But the only lasting solution: switch to alternatives and dramatically improve energy efficiency. I spoke to LBC about this...
Just spoke to @AlJazeera about the Strait of Hormuz energy crisis. Damage to production facilities will take years to repair, further price spikes likely. Govts can subsidise bills short-term but the only lasting fix is ending fossil fuel dependence. https://t.co/0G9SMxLqKm
The energy crisis caused by the war in Iran is strengthening the case for electric vehicles. The oil price shock drives EV demand in Asia. https://t.co/5yRSoiCS6O https://t.co/aKMZB28ruw
Every time there’s a fuel price shock, the same calls emerge: drill the North Sea. New @UKERCHQ analysis cuts through the noise and explains why this argument doesn’t hold up. https://t.co/HHL1mSGAjZ https://t.co/dfPeJ4JL3x
I just told @BBCNews: Energy crises are fundamentally demand problems, not supply problems. 80% of our energy is fossil fuels, much of it imported, leaving us exposed to price spikes. The only long-term fix: electrify the economy with clean power. https://t.co/1toyJn6PUM
Two technologies that competed for the future of heating and transport. The race is over. In 2025, 19m heat pumps were sold globally. Hydrogen-ready boilers: 237 units. The picture in transport is identical. 21m EVs were sold last year. Hydrogen fuel cell...
Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to...
European natural gas prices keep on rising and have now more than doubled )+134%) in just four weeks from €29/MWh on 17 February to €67/MWh today. Geopolitical tensions and wars always drive up gas prices. Not a bug in the system....
When I started working on UK energy in 2007, fossil fuels provided ~78% of electricity. Coal alone: 34%. Wind & solar: less than 2%. Today: wind & solar 33%, fossil fuels 28%, coal 0%. The chart below tells the story better...
The US is reportedly preparing to pay nearly $1bn to TotalEnergies for cancelling two offshore wind leases. Not to build clean energy. To cancel it — with TotalEnergies committing to gas infrastructure in Texas instead. As @MegaWattXinfo put it: "Ideology is expensive."...
Europe's LNG imports have gone from 3% of gas supply in 1990 to nearly 50% today. We replaced Russian pipeline gas with LNG at record speed. But we replaced one dependency with another. That's why Europe is so exposed. Answer is transforming demand...
NEW ANALYSIS: Electric cars are expected to be far cheaper to drive during the coming energy crises. In these times of high oil prices, driving a petrol car in Europe is expected to cost around €140 per month, compared to €65...
If you heat with oil you are exposed to sky-high heating oil prices. US heating oil futures are near $4 per gallon and prices have almost doubled since February, driven by escalating disruption linked to the war in Iran and...
NEW ANALYSIS: North Sea “drill baby drill” would cut bills by just £16–£82 per year, and only if tax revenues are redistributed. A fully renewable UK could save households up to £441 says @TheSmithSchool https://t.co/c0kut9thNb
