This is my last tweet. Will be picking up broadly sensible / work content on BlueSky and music stuff on Threads. See you there.
New on my anti-blog:
What can a Mark Twain novel from 1889 tell us about influencing net zero policy?

I’ve started something I shall misleadingly describe as ‘a blog about net zero’.
‘Blog’ implies a series of think pieces on a topic.
Instead this is likely to become a network of oblique rants, which teases coherence without ever delivering it.
Enjoy!

Had a dream I tried to go to a meditation class but it turned out to be a lecture by Emmanuel Macron that descended into a shouting match.

Flexibility services reward households for reduced energy use during peak times & are important for managing the grid. How can we make them work for everyone?
We worked with @UtilitaEnergy to understand the experience of those with prepayment meters. bit.ly/4dzJ0t6

Time for a thread on our new policy plan for home heating.
Our homes are responsible for 14% of our carbon emissions, and we're well off track to reduce them. What should the new government do?

New analysis: 1 in 10 households need to install a heat pump during this Parliament to meet the UK’s climate obligations
Nesta’s comprehensive plan outlines how the Government can get back on track with net-zero targets by decarbonising home heating: nesta.org.uk/report/deliveri…
The entire energy sector (renewables AND consumer) has been calling for this for as long as I can remember. 🎉
This government was elected with a mandate to take immediate action to boost Britain's energy independence.
The onshore wind ban is a symbol of how bad decisions in the last fourteen years have put up energy bills for families.
Today, it ends.

New report 📢 How to make heat pumps more affordable
Cost is the most commonly cited barrier to getting a heat pump - even with a £7.5k govt subsidy. But with the right policy action, heat pumps could become the most affordable heating option. 👇bit.ly/3RrTDpU
