Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports an interview with IEA chief Fatih Birol at Cop31 and attributes his 'age of electricity' claim and his electricity growth figures to him by name. It sets his remarks beside the figure that fossil fuels still supply three quarters of final energy, links heatwaves to rising global temperatures, and reports Birol's view that imported gas drives high UK electricity prices. We found nothing in the article that misleads its reader.
“three-quarters of final energy worldwide is supplied by fossil fuels”
It gives the reader the figure that tempers Birol's 'age of electricity' claim, so the headline's attributed optimism is not left to stand as the whole picture.
“Birol placed the blame for the UK’s high electricity prices firmly on gas.”
It reports the actual driver of high UK electricity prices, imported gas, rather than letting a claim that climate policy causes high bills go unchecked.
