"One of the key barriers to electrification is the price ratio of electricity to fossil gas prices. In part this price ratio is affected by political choices: the tax rate on electricity used in industry is much higher in most European countries than the tax rate on fossil gas. That creates a disincentive for electrification and an incentive for a continuation of the status quo. There are many options for reforming taxes and levies which I and colleagues looked at here: Source: @ember_energy https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0301421522005869"

"Rolling back clean energy policies to save European industry will backfire. Whilst it may seem attractive in the short term it is poor industrial policy in the long term. The latest attempts of Germany to once again derail European regulation on the phase-out of the internal combustion engine fall into this category.

"One of the key barriers to electrification is the price ratio of electricity to fossil gas prices. In part this price ratio is affected by political choices: the tax rate on electricity used in industry is much higher in most European countries than the tax rate on fossil gas. That creates a disincentive for electrification and an incentive for a continuation of the status quo.

"As [----] comes to an end its been a strong year for clean energy but a worrying one for energy politics. The US pause on offshore wind shows how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate. Hoping [----] brings calmer more evidence-based policymaking"

"The "zero-bill" home isnt just a dreamits a massive opportunity to lower costs and secure our energy future. I spoke to The Times today about how we can make this vision a reality for everyone not just the wealthy. ๐Ÿงต"

"Key is fixing "clean energy penalty." Currently electricity carries much higher levies than gas making heat pumps harder to adopt. Rebalancing these levies is the most effective way to make clean heating cheaper to run than a gas boilerwithout raising the average total bill"

"Data centres are very energy hungry and generate a lot of waste heat. In principle using this waste heat makes sense. Thats what I told the i Paper. In Finland it already heats homes; in the UK schemes are emerging. https://inews.co.uk/opinion/heat-home-change-garden-shed-4153622srsltid=AfmBOorH-JqDbsbjSF09AsWapVZ2DIeDArELx8nzLZq625TP2g0djNlD https://inews.co.uk/opinion/heat-home-change-garden-shed-4153622srsltid=AfmBOorH-JqDbsbjSF09AsWapVZ2DIeDArELx8nzLZq625TP2g0djNlD"

"For the first time since the early 1970s coal power generation has fallen in both China and India. This undercuts the claim that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity theyre displacing coal. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/13/coal-power-generation-falls-china-india-since-1970s https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/13/coal-power-generation-falls-china-india-since-1970s"

"The structural drivers in favour of clean energy persist. In the US despite political headwinds renewables rise whereas fossil fuel generation drops. Yes politics will slow down the transition. But the shift is still happening"

"1) Overall the document sends a clear signal on the governments priorities for clean heating particularly heat pumps and district heating. That clarity is welcome and long overdue"

"2) It is also positive to see expanded funding for solar and batteries and the introduction of new loan schemes that should make it easier for households to invest in low-carbon technologies. These are sensible and pragmatic steps"
