Heard a few people complaining about energy price increases today at work. I have corrected them that is only really gas prices that are changing by much. Electricity is changing by less than inflation and it dropped a bit last time too.

Analysis: Wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis
(www.carbonbrief.org)
I think this is a big piece of understanding that needs to become a central part of the public conversation and accelerate the transition.
I don't think most people are aware of how much it is already costing, to not switch to renewables.
meanwhile trump pays billions of taxpayer dollars to cancel solar and windfarm projects so his citizens can pay for the highest diesel prices ever that he caused.
replies:
5.9 billion saved is real, but it is a hedge, not a cure. The UK still imports the gas it burns on a still February night, and no wind farm reopens a closed strait.

A common objection to the green transition is the cost of it.
What doesn't get mentioned as much is the cost of not doing it.
