There's no doubt Britain will need gas for many years yet, but we can't be blind to the strategic economic weakness our dependence on a globalising gas market has become. Read my explainer, which topped Politico's energy & climate newsletter last week, here! πŸ‘‡

Without electricity market reform, the cheapness of renewable energy will not be passed on to consumers

That will make the electrification and decarbonisation of heating and transport 10x harder

The decision about reforming the market really is where net zero 2050 could be won or lost

This is a good challenge from @alexisconran.bsky.social

Gov needs to make decisions on the electricity market and bill levies to cut electricity prices, else going for electrification will be much harder

We'll be more energy insecure with more pollution
