The question should not be around which gas we use. Instead, the focus *has* to be on how we get off gas all together.
Building more renewables, focusing on efficiency, transitioning to electric heating. That's what we need for true energy security.

Such good news. Our members own the wind farms for green, stable priced power they produce not the profits.
A huge thanks to members who wrote to their MPs and raised this issue 💚
Really pleased the electricity windfall tax will only apply to companies generating more than 100GWh per year. This means the thousands of owners of Graig Fatha and Kirk Hill will not be impacted. Glad the concerns of co-op members and smaller scale projects were listened to.

If you're wondering how Ripple works, here's a thread to explain.
I'll assume you're a typical household and use 2900kWh of electricity per year and you want your bit of Kirk Hill wind farm to generate as much electricity as you use each year. You can own more or less tho.

New study finds:
IF there’s
- no new fossil fuel power stations
- no new oil + gas wells
- no new petrol + diesel cars
- no new planes
AND beef + dairy are phased out quick
THEN we could limit climate change to 1.5°
