Emma Pinchbeck from the UK Climate Change Committee at the @octopus.energy energy tech summit.

Says: biggest personal difference you can make is your choice of heating and your vehicle. Modelling EVs to be cheaper than Ice by 2030

Net Zero costs are c. 0.2% of - GDP, 60-90% funded private sector

At the @octopus.energy energy tech summit in London today. This session included Maxim Timochenko, Chief Exec of DTEK energy in #Ukraine

An evening with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at @tortoisemedia.bsky.social in Town this evening based around his book 'the invisible doctrine' #Neoliberlism - how it rose to the point where even Labour are in hock, and how we overcome it. A hugely interesting and inspiring discussion.
