I was at our heat pump centre recently with @john_oes. Here’s a heat pump at -11C warming radiators to 45. At -7C it was 200% efficient (>>twice as efficient as a gas boiler)
mild temps of 0 C, starting point where heat pumps less useful and more likely he has a modern house. Just in case you haven't seen this:

Interestingly, gas->elec->heat pump uses less gas than gas-> boiler
Because a heat pump turns 1kwh of energy into 3kwh of heat, whereas a gas boiler turns 1kwh of energy into 0.8-0.9kwh of heat.

Everyone has access to the sun... true energy independence comes with renewables. abc.net.au/news/2022-02-25/r…

Read that quote.
It’s what I’ve heard from virtually every cab driver “forced” to go electric.
Like so many tech changes people don’t want it til they experience it. Like my mum with Facebook!
"I was thinking this is going to be boring, give me back my #diesel motor - but no, Im quite happy, I think I'll stick with it,"
"Ive got 4 grandchildren. I believe this is the way forward, its easier to drive, its not polluting & its cheaper to run." bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-6008… #EV

Sadly very predictable, childish, snide reporting from the fanatically pro fossil fuel editorial policy of @BBCNews
Scotland is 98.6% renewably powered, which is amazing.

Below are two used @Tesla Model 3 pollen filters. One has covered 16k in a city, the other 35k in a rural area. Any guesses as to which lived where 😳

Battery leasing? 🤔

Electric cars for short journeys are great. But what about a family holiday?
We just returned from this trip - Oxford to Baie de Somme to Mont Blanc to North West Germany to Oxford. ~2,000 miles. No problem.

Just completed our first road trip as EV drivers, Lancashire to Lanarkshire & Ayrshire. Charged on way up over lunch and on way back, coffee stop. Nothing to fear, brilliant. Spent less than £25 on "fuel" so impressed.
@bobbyllew , @evmanuk , @tillathenun Thanks for top tips.

Never before have I meant ‘what he says’ with more passion.
@AllegraCOP26 the VW ID.3, Skoda Enyaq, Kia e-Niro, Tesla Model 3 etc all have versions with >250 mile range and can rapid charge within the time families spend at a motorway service station. Lease one via salary sacrifice and save ££££ on fuel, tax & maintenance vs diesel Golf.

On April 1st, 2020 Apple bought Dark Sky. It’s been 463 days since then
There’s a new iPadOS beta with a huge new weather widget
Clicking the weather widget… takes you to weather.com in the browser
Why Apple refuses to make a weather app for the iPad? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you are into #PamuQuietMini, look here👇
If you're looking for a pair of wireless noise-cancelling earphones that won't break the bank, the PaMu Quiet Mini Bluetooth Earbuds from @PadmateAudio impressed us with their great sound quality, comfortable fit and effective ANC.

"Good sound quality, great ANC and a nice little package mean I have no hesitation in recommending the PaMu Quiet Mini if you’re in the market for some good wireless ANC earbuds that won’t break the bank." Highly recommended by @SwitchedOnNet switchedonnetwork.com/2021/0…

Tech tip: Benefits of dating outside your race include
1. Greater genetic diversity for our species
2. Many times larger dating pool to find 'the one'
3. Very cute babies (tho I'm a little biased)
4. If we all do it, no more racism cuz that shit's really really really stupid.
