Physics hasn\u2019t changed: wind and solar are cheap when the wind blows and sun shines, but the system still needs firm capacity. Technology costs have fallen dramatically, and emissions have been displaced \u2014 but the transition\u2019s total system cost is still being socialised through bills and subsidies. Whether the embers are truly \u201cdying\u201d or merely flickering depends on whether governments double down on subsidies or pivot toward abundant, dispatchable, low-carbon supply at lowest total cost to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick glance at the headlines reveals we are in the midst of one of the worst energy crises in history. Both oil and gas prices have spiked because of the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. UK electricity prices have gone up too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has led Ember (the same people who came up with Ed Miliband\u2019s promise<\/a> to cut energy bills by \u00a3300) to claim<\/a> that renewables have cut gas generation compared to March 2021 and saved us \u00a37 million per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
