Really glad we covered this session at @rukcymru.bsky.social's Future Energy Wales, the scale of misinformation about renewable energy and net zero is off the scale and getting worse 🤥

Similarly, we were delighted to sponsor the NextGen Tories reception. Potentially the most positive room at conference, it was great to speak with energetic young members of the party advocating for pro-growth policies 📈

#renewableenergy overtook coal as the world's leading source of electricity in the first half of this year - a historic first, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember from @bbcnews.bsky.social 📈 👏 ⚡

A historic shift and evidence of the global transition from fossil fuels to renewables.

While some in the UK want to take us backwards, to an outdated age, against the international trend - this government will power forward to our clean energy future.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity
Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.
