Could we reintroduce lynx to Scotland? "They would bring a natural balance to the environment here in the Highlands and economic benefits. We want to work with farmers on their concerns and make it work for Highlanders." - Steve Micklewright CEO @treesforlife.bsky.social @stevehreports.bsky.social

A proposed 3p-per-mile EV tax, aimed at recouping lost fuel duty, could cut sales by 120,000 by 2031. Still under consultation and not due until 2028, it may slow EV uptake and impact the market, though manufacturing development is likely to continue. - Tanya Sinclair, CEO, Electric Vehicles UK

UK's first geothermal plant turns on today A first-of-its-kind plant in Cornwall takes water and heat from 3 miles underground to drive turbines, generating energy for 10,000 homes. “Like a nuclear power station underground, we’re just tapping the heat,” says Ryan Law CEO of Geothermal Engineering.

The Cao vit gibbon, the world's second-rarest primate and known for its singing voice, has been named as a species which requires close monitoring this year to ensure its survival after being rediscovered in 2002, says Fauna & Flora's Kristian Teleki.

"Plug-in solar can be a cheap, quick, effective way of reducing your electricity bills," businessman and clean energy expert Chris Goodall told Times Radio. The government will relax rules on the self-installed panels, which can save up to £110 off consumer bills according to officials.

“North Sea production is declining at about 9% a year.” Lord Turner says the UK will remain a net gas importer for years, and that US LNG can be “pretty dirty” after Trump weakened methane rules, raising emissions, arguing the priority is cutting gas dependence while managing North Sea decline.
