Been a quiet couple of weeks for Local Zero but we have a cracking schedule lined up:

- Shawlands Bike Bus: cleaner, healthier ways to get to school
- CitizensAdvice: unlocking benefits of smart energy for the many, not just the few
- Low-carbon islands: spotlight on Isle of Rasaay

Holy moly. Thoughts and prayers

We were delighted to welcome Alison Thewliss MP to the Strathclyde campus as part of the Royal Society Pairing Scheme which saw Alison host Prof Matt Hannon @[email protected] Strathclyde Business School in Westminster in March.

It’s here: in a move that will see 5 million more Londoners breathe cleaner air, the ULEZ has expanded to cover all of London today.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇🏾

Come and work with us at SUII ! Closing soon, please spread the word 🙏🏻

The inconvenient truth is we need very stringent regulation, PLUS a compelling and evidence based vision of a cleaner, fairer future that will improve the welfare of the majority of people.

The latter offers a mandate for former but latter cannot be realised without the former.

Despite hiccups in various countries the take up of electric vehicles is accelerating right across the world

This is the direction of travel.

Won't stop the hand wringing & media furore.

What I see happening more are law suits against this type of disruptive #netzero policy.

Ditto the reverse: high-carbon policies (eg new O&G licences, coal mines).

2020s: a good time to be a lawyer.

Whoever forms the next government will either have to consider road pricing or whack up taxes to replace the billions of pounds of fuel duty revenue that is going to disappear as EVs become the norm.

Looks like another tough winter for the fuel poor ahead.
For those on a low income gas and electricity remain expensive.

Assuming that avoiding climate change & abject poverty aren't sufficient reason enough for govt to make ours homes warm, then I hope someone will eventually connect this failure to insulate our homes, with unnecessary death and illness.

Even then, would this govt budge an inch?

Timely new energy efficiency stats show delivery is STILL stalling on 🇬🇧 major fuel poverty scheme.

Delighted to see LEAP Project driving this work forward. Crucial to people's wellbeing and building a sense of community. Keep up the good work.

So so bored of this but where is the warfooting for energy retrofit?

UK Govt just doesn't consider this a priority. The stats don't lie. HT Resolution Foundation
