Not only were the major contributors to inflation non-discretionary, but they were mostly unaffected by demand or interest rates rises. But yeah, go ahead raise rates again because you gotta look tough, I guess?

I've been reporting on renewable energy for a decade. And no matter how much I write, there’s a question I get asked again & again:
Why do we need big solar & wind farms when we can put solar on rooftops & parking lots instead?
It's a great question. Let's do a thread... 🧵1/n

The @ecb & the 🇪🇺 central banks (@banquedefrance, @NBB_BNB_FR/@NBB_BNB_NL, @bundesbank, @bancodeportugal, @BancoDeEspana, @bancaditalia 👋) can fight climate change AND improve the living conditions of Europeans...
How? By granting low interest loans!

Of all the pain and hardship caused by the global fossil fuel price crisis, countries like Norway have been big, *big* winners.
Norway earned more from selling climate-disaster-causing energy products in 2021+2022 than it did between 2015-2020.

So if we assume H2 leaks as much as CH4 (could argue up or down - it’s hard to handle but also most likely to be handled in high-safety industrial contexts), then H2 has leakage emissions of 0.1tCO2e per GJ leaked vs 0.54 for CH4. Small! But adds to importance of avoiding leaks.
