#VauxhallLuton this is the price of not increasing fuel duty since 2010.

This is a really important part of the industry. Installation is often difficult but relatively simple if the basics are followed. Diagnosing faults or wrong settings needs a different level of skill. Good for you Mike. I know how much work you've put in to get to this stage.
In the past few weeks I’ve worked on Vaillant, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Samsung, NIBE and Daikin heat pumps. I’m going to start videoing my findings because it is super interesting learning the nuances between how each heat pump works. Does anyone have any model specific questions?

@CllrDent the council contractors are cutting down dead trees infected with sooty bark disease in Southchurch hall gardens. They plan to chip the wood which will spread the fungal spores over our gardens and houses. Jackie thinks this is safe as the workers are wearing masks.

Why is this taking so long? Who gains by delaying? Oh yes, government, energy suppliers and large developers thetimes.co.uk/article/its-t…

I just signed this "cease and desist" letter to fossil fuel CEOs from @GretaThunberg, @vanessa_vash, @SumakHelena, and @Luisamneubauer. It demands an end to the fossil fuel projects that are destroying our planet. Join us! @Davos @wef #wef23 fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/dav…
Our MPs can help stop the industrial fishing frenzy in protected UK waters.
Make sure your MP stands up for our oceans and the coastal communities who rely on them.

Brilliant article by @kimosabi4355 saying it like it is.

because our energy minister forgot to ask EDF to keep our most efficient nuclear plant operating they are asking them to keep an even older coal power plant operational. They could spend the money insulating homes so we don't need it. #ClimateEmergency theguardian.com/business/202…

I've just heard @Jacob_Rees_Mogg say that the lockdown rules were too strict as an excuse for No 10 ignoring them. It's like claiming that 30mph is too slow for a road as a defence against speeding. Are they going to retrospectively repeal a law they were caught breaking?
What is their agenda? The Tory rags are putting this out to keep the British public locked into high priced, high carbon gas. What how is there when the PM himself openly lies. There must be consequences for lying to the people.
UK homes are the biggest energy-wasters in Europe, but it didn’t have to be this way via @greenpeaceuk greenpeace.org.uk/news/uk-ho…
#energysecuritystrategy. Crap. This is all about infrastructure building and supporting the energy retail industry. Energy efficiency doesn't make corporations or governments wealthy or powerful. It liberates the population. See where this is heading?
I see Baxi are calling for the gov to incentivise hybrid heating systems. So why don't they just sell heat pumps and phase out boilers?

The EU is ramping up renewable energy which can be done in months. UK gov is talking about ramping up north sea gas and new nuclear which is decades away. Don't get me started on fusion, it was 30 years away in 1970 and has cost £Bs. ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…
@betateach @_heatgeek @janrosenow @planetkooler @Si_Poskett @kenbone44 imagine how how much geothermal electricity generation we would now have with the money spent on fusion. I am guessing it would be enough but to need fusion. Both rely on steam to deliver in the end.
