Following the price surge, the British right are pedalling a fantasy of self-sufficiency through North Sea oil. This has no serious basis in reality. Britain has been a net energy importer for 20 years. It has nothing to do with net zero and everything to do with decades of declining production🧵

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility.
The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.
Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.
We have a new events series!
Join us on the first Thursday of each month for our Grants‑In‑Progress Workshop
This interactive session is for you to connect, explore opportunities for collaboration, and share insights into crafting successful applications

This is another tremendous find by @threadinburgh.scot.
It's also a powerful reminder that Edinburgh was an industrial city into the late twentieth century - a centre of brewing and distilling surrounded by Scotland's coalfields.
Want to hear more about how interdisciplinary research is helping fuel Scottish homes?
Our own CEE Director, Prof @mettehigh.bsky.social and Prof Kenneth Gibb discuss the multiple challenges of fueling homes in Scotland in the 'When Disciplines Meet' podcast

I'll be on Reporting Scotland on the BBC Scotland Channel at 7pm discussing nuclear energy jobs and concerns about the economic future of Caithness, North Ayrshire and East Lothian. Nuclear has been absent from the 'just transition' agenda despite the Scottish government planning to phase it out.
Such a fun and creative session yesterday.m ✨️ We read Laura Watts' 'Energy at the End of the World' (2018) - an inspiring methodological experiment and rich ethnographic text! Join us in February for our next session on the theme of Petroleum Archives

Congratulations to Ed Stephens, who has been offered a position as Honorary Professor!
Ed joined St Andrews in 1972 and “retired” in 2005. But since then, his work on applying geochemical methods to tobacco research and exploring the health impacts of vaping, has had outstanding impact.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
