🤨 Investing £22billion of public money in a technology with a track record of failure is NOT going to help the UK achieve its climate goals, or create good green jobs. Here’s why (thread):

Thanks for highlighting this. It’s worth also flagging that beyond the immediate £22bn allocated, the Gov expects the total cost of #CCS to 2050 to run to many hundreds of billions. Partly public, partly private - but all paid by us. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/11/r...

Our friends at @recommon.org have shared that national and international pressure on ENI has resulted in the company stating that it "does not plan to be involved in activities in [Palestine] in the future" 🎉🍉 www.recommon.org/en/eni-does-...

The UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃

More than 45 charities, campaigners and trade unions have signed our open letter urging UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband to back an ambitious outcome on just transition at the UN Climate Summit #COP30.

🚨New survey finds oil & gas workers want decisive action from the UK government, Scottish government and industry to support the transition – but they aren’t getting it. Here’s what workers want: 🧵 www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2547...

🚨 Hunger in the UK ISN’T about a lack of food. People are facing hunger because they don’t have enough money to survive. The basic rate of Universal Credit is just £92 a week, disability benefits are being cut, energy bills are going up and rents are sky high. It’s so wrong🧵

Working class communities have a long history of anti racist solidarity. Billionaires poison everything. Sucking up wealth, hollowing out communities, spreading poverty, division and hatred. It’s time to tax the rich and repair our society. inews.co.uk/news/racism-...

We're really excited to see @cescotland.bsky.social's manifesto recommendations for the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections! 👏 Scotland deserves an energy system that serves and benefits local communities - not just corporations' profits. 🌱 👉 Read the manifesto: communityenergy.scot/manifesto-fo...

Manifesto for a Fair Energy Deal for Scottish Communities  - Community Energy Scotland

The Scottish Community Coalition on Energy has published its manifesto recommendations for political parties in the run up to the 2026 Scottish Parliament

communityenergy.scot

Our first ask is a target: 🎯 1GW of community-owned energy by 2030. That's 10x higher than now. Ambitious? Yes, but achievable. @rescoop.eu say "In EU countries with such goals in place, clear policy signals and investor confidence has led to significant growth of the community energy movement.”
