I think this is a big piece of understanding that needs to become a central part of the public conversation and accelerate the transition.
I don’t think most people are aware of how much it is already costing, to not switch to renewables.

5.9 billion saved is real, but it is a hedge, not a cure. The UK still imports the gas it burns on a still February night, and no wind farm reopens a closed strait.

Heard a few people complaining about energy price increases today at work. I have corrected them that is only really gas prices that are changing by much. Electricity is changing by less than inflation and it dropped a bit last time too.
