It’s quite something that #Burnham ‘s #Labour party seems to be less in favour of financially supporting the electorate in reducing their carbon emissions than #Sunak ‘s #Tories which scrapped VAT on retrofit measures such as #SolarPanels and #Heatpumps The evidence mounts by the day that this government is captured by the #FossilFuel lobby. If it scares you, boost and vote #Green

A new report from the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) finds that Minnesota has enough unused winter electric grid capacity to support more than 2 million additional heat pumps, lowering electricity rates roughly 18% and saving households an average of $230 a year. #ClimateChange #CleanHeat #Minnesota #HeatPumps

Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/18/heat-pumps-insulation-warm-homes-plan-beat-new-oilfields-cutting-uk-cost-of-living-study #UnitedKingdom #UK #environment #HeatPumps #insulation #energy #fossilfuel #fossilfuels

Slashing the heat pump subsidy to fund the megapolluting arms industry is not only economically illiterate, it will decimate the nascent heat pump industry. Labour claims to want growth. The future is in renewables, not war. #HeatPumps #Renewables #Defence #UKPolitics Ministers preparing to slash heat pump subsidies to fund defence spending | Heat pumps | The Guardian

the new toys certainly earning their crust this morn, but going gangbusters, phew Now UPDATED 7:00AM AEST -4.0° FEELS LIKE -7.6°C atm actually 4 deg colder than when i got up at 0600, eek! #dropbearelectrification #rcac #heatpumps

tis middle of winter [well, metaphorically at least, if possibly not perfectly arithmetically accurate], & Now UPDATED 11:50AM AEST 8.5° FEELS LIKE 3.3°C& i be sittin' here in a tee shirt, at #properpooter, in me study, hitherto the froziest room in da house in winter & hitherto i'd be buried under 2 minimum sometimes 3 jumpers, & various under-layers & i can't yet decide whether to let myself relax into enjoying this transformation per Time Zero yesterday or feel guilty about it all 🤔🤷 #dropbearelectrification #rcac #heatpumps #renewableenergy #climatecrisis

sitting here in sunroom at lappy, in jammies & gown, deferring da shower coz in da shower, gotta wash da hair [hate doing this!] coz then i gotta move some furniture & ornaments outta da way in my study, loungeroom, & garage, to make access space coz tomorrow morn, whilst da sparrows are still farting, there's gonna be a knock at the front door and i gotta open it and i gotta welcome in ~5 strangers whose conceptual arrival has been several years in the dreaming, & deferring, & abandoning, & reawakening, & dreaming, then finally a coupla months ago in self-defiance with new-found determination to finally Do It & so these five strangers gonna be here for a long day tomorrow somehow i have to endure this intense close-quarter peopling and hope they're kind & only laugh about me behind my back rather than to my face but if i get thru it all then... ...by tomorrow night my house will be warmed by RCAC not gas, & my water will be heated by heat-pump not gas and if that happens & works well then i'll be a happy dropbear but all that peopling so i be sitting here in sunroom at lappy, in jammies & gown, deferring da shower #depression #socialphobia #failedtransition #dropbearelectrification #rcac #heatpumps #climatecrisis #renewableenergy
