Sam Hall: The solution to a gas crisis is not to deepen our dependence on gas

For the sake of our bills as well as our security interests, we need to double down on homegrown green energy instead.

Comment, Highlights | By Sam Hall | 10 January 2022 at 6:20 am

Sam Hall: The Government’s eco efforts are increasingly winning over Tory Party members. Here’s how it can impress voters even more.

Polling by Ipsos Mori proves the Government is making progress in convincing people about its climate credentials.

Sam Hall: COP26 has kept 1.5 degrees alive. But more must be done to keep it well.

We’re closer to a greener, cleaner, safer planet, but the real success of the summit will only be determined in the years ahead.

Sam Hall: Energy prices. We should urgently wean ourselves off gas and not give up on Net Zero.

To protect those in fuel poverty, some of the revenue from the gas carbon charge could be given back as a carbon cheque to vulnerable households.

Sam Hall: Extinction Rebellion is completely wrong in its approach to climate change

We need a credible plan to reach net zero by 2050. A great prize is within our grasp, but XR is alienating the public.

Comment, ToryDiary | By Sam Hall | 15 September 2020 at 2:00 pm | 100 comments

Sam Hall: Conservatives shouldn’t ridicule or rage against Extinction Rebellion. Instead, we should trump them with our own ideas.

We must propose our own ambitious, market-based policies for decarbonisation and nature restoration.

Sam Hall: Conservative voters are more green than stereotype would suggest

New polling finds that they are proud of Britain’s action on climate change, and want the main EU environment regulations retained after Brexit.

Comment | By Sam Hall | 4 April 2017 at 3:04 pm | 56 comments

Sam Hall: Home improvements could give consumers control over their energy bills

Following the vote to leave the EU, there is considerable economic uncertainty. Upgrading the energy consumption of our homes would be a quick and easy stimulus.
