BFCCA is a local charity that helps our community address the climate and biodiversity crisis. Our Vision - Bracknell Forest will work together to live sustainably, making green choices, and we will achieve net zero as close to 2030 as possible.
Roughly 15 million new cars are sold in the USA every year, roughly 2 million in UK. The majority are petrol/diesel/hybrid. Many more *could* be BEVs (pure electric). For most people who can charge at home and don't tow, it's not just easy to live with a BEV, it's better than a petrol/diesel/hybrid.
Chart showing European gas, Brent crude oil and stock prices since the start of 2026. Gas prices are up 80% (mostly since the Iran invasion), oil prices up 40%, and stocks have barely changed
One way in which a 2026 energy crisis* might be different to 2022: it would likely affect oil as well as gas.
In 2022, the main issue was gas, which mainly affected electricity and heating bills.
If oil spikes as well, expect transport and more industrial production to face problems
Fascinating! Will guerrilla solar come to Britain too? edition.cnn.com/clean-energy... #solar #guerrillasolar #NetZero #LoveNetZero

Another great day for renewables, solar and wind are supplying more and more electricity in the UK>
'The Warm Homes Plan (WHP) is a major opportunity to accelerate the transition to clean, affordable home heating' www.nesta.org.uk/blog/consume...
Believe so, so total solar will be higher.
6.1% for solar and 56.4% for wind, amazing how much of UK electricity has come from renewables today! grid.iamkate.com
A world which depends less on oil will be a cleaner world and a safer one!

⚡ Britain is installing more heat pumps than ever - but we need to speed up.
A record 125,037 were sold in 2025 - up 27% year-on-year, according to the Heat Pump Association.

Most of China’s provinces are cutting coal use 🇨🇳🪨📉
In 26 of 31 provinces with available data, coal utilisation declined between 2023 and 2025 – with faster drops in provinces that rapidly scaled coal flexibility retrofits.
