Graph of the day: Gas is not so needed in UK’s power plan
The UK is frequently cited as an example of why gas is “needed” in a clean energy transition, but the government’s own forecasts shows gas will be in rapid decline.
Graph of the day: Most emissions from fossil fuels come from wasted energy

Graph of the day: As EU demand recovers, zero carbon takes the lions share
Fossil fuels keep losing out in Europe, even as energy demand returns to normal.
Graph of the day: Australia’s gas fleet fails Europe’s “transition fuel” test
Tough new gas standards in Europe might revoke the ‘transition fuel’ label for gas. How does Australia fare?
Graph of the day: Without a big government stick, gas power will decline in Australia
Under all scenarios for Australia’s electricity market, the outcome for gas-fired generation is the same: It comprises only a tiny fraction of total annual energy output.
