The UK's home retrofit programme is progressing at roughly a tenth of the speed needed to meet climate targets.
Andrew Spencer from Equans outlines the scale of the challenge and what must change.

Cars are the most heavily subsidised product on earth
When we talk about subsidies, we usually think of a check written by the government to a farmer or a tax credit for buying an electric vehicle. But if we widen our lens and look at the true cost of doing business, there is one product that stands alone as the most subsidised commodity in human history. It isn't wheat, it isn't trains, and it isn't wind turbines. It is the car.(Car in this article refers to, all passenger vehicles including "pickup trucks.") The car is a consumer product […]https://envirocomms5.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/cars-are-the-most-heavily-subsidised-product-on-earth/
It has been three years since this conference occured. Three years since a panel of very knowledgeable people have presented alternatives to the madcap economic systems which are leading us to a dead planet (at least for humankind and many of its econsystems). These alternative address major areas requiring dramatic changes:
#Wealth distribution to end #poverty and #inequity
#Decarbonisation to keep our planet alive
#Equality, #education and #enpowerment for all, especially #women
#Sustainable #food production and distribution
An end to #Consumerism and #GPD measured #Growth without advocating #deGrowth
And one more I forgot :( sry. (I should’ve taken notes)
It’s a long video, but if you’re searching for solutions to our social, environmental and economic #trainwrecks, this is a will spell them out for you.
This information has been widely disseminated to educators, activists, political leaders and economists worldwide. So my questions are: What’s holding us back? Why aren’t we seeing something other than a global rise in #Fascism #FossilFuelUse the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex #Billionairism and #Oligopoly ?
Decarbonising heating won't come down to one technology. Renewable fuels, efficient combustion, electrification, heat recovery — the right mix depends on local needs. Our take on Eurofuel's recent Oilon visit 👇

First They…
There is a great saying you may have heard before, when it comes to change... First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.When applied to clean energy and decarbonisation we are now very clearly at Stage three; “Then they fight you.” After decades of being completely ignored and then decades of being ridiculed, the clean energy and decarbonisation industry is now under constant attack from the fossil fuels industry and its supporters, because it is, […]
