In this article, Steve Rigby suggests Net Zero and the shift to EVs could see the UK lose its car industry I'm afraid a report by the CBI found the complete opposite - going slow in making the move to building EVs represents the biggest threat A thread

I continue to see comments that suggest somehow high energy prices in Europe have to do with renewables. That's nonsense: 1️⃣ most energy use is NOT electricity but gas+oil 2️⃣ gas prices are still >3x higher than pre-Ukraine invasion 3️⃣ in most electricity markets gas sets the price most of the time

Dubbed the “small smart, high end electric car”, it is positioned as a rival to the BYD Dolphin and Renault 5

The beauty of a chat with Euan is that I ALWAYS learn something from him. (BTW he’s on the next episode of the podcast which is released on Monday!)
