Today is a bad day for our planet. Here’s why a Donald Trump presidency is negative news for the climate: ✍️ Trump pulled the USA out of the Paris Agreement in 2020, and vows to do it again. 🌐 It’s rumoured he will also pull the USA out of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 💸 During Trump’s last term, he cut the USA’s climate finance contributions, which help communities to build back in the aftermath of extreme weather events. 🛢️ He’s said the USA will produce oil and gas at record levels under his leadership. 💨 He has also pledged to scrap offshore wind projects on 'day one'. With the USA much less likely to pull its weight on climate targets, the rest of the world needs to work harder.

Time-based energy matching should be all or nothing. Anything less is greenwash. Good Energy has always only offered renewable tariffs, because not doing so leads to 'green-shuffle' — fudging the numbers so some customers' power gets greener while others gets browner. Ultimately making no difference to the grid. A similar principle applies in time-based matching, or carbon free energy (CFE). But several suppliers are now promising CFE to select customers with cherry picked generators, undermining its key purpose.

Very disappointing that a roll back on plans to require solar on new builds is being considered. As Friends of the Earth's Head of Policy Mike Childs says: "Solar panels are cheap, cut energy bills and emissions, and contribute to meeting the UK’s climate targets." We back the #sunshinebill to mandate solar as part of the Future Homes Standard. #solarpower #newbuilds #futurehomesstandard #solar #renewableelectricity
