Another day, another comment piece in the Telegraph that:

a) has a pop at EVs

b) says stuff about EVs that is pretty misleading

This one, by Ross Clark, also says some fairly misleading things about road pricing

So here's a thread to correct the narrative - buckle up!

I know many of you will be shocked, but this piece by Matt Ridley in the The Telegraph on solar farms has quite a lot wrong with it

Let’s start with the impact on farming. Getting to the target of 70GW will take ~0.4-0.7% of English farmland

Not the ‘5-10%’ Ridley claims…

The UK's spent over £100bn on gas since the start of the crisis. Yikes

Lots of talk about costs of decarbonising power

Not much talk about the costs of maintaining the status quo
