Honestly, if you're still pushing blue hydrogen (from fossil gas with CCS), or analysis based on it, for UK heating, you must be a sadist. Have been made aware gas networks are still lobbying MP's based on this. Even after a gas price shock. Shameless and deeply immoral.
I think about things like this when people want to apply AI to critical tasks without testing or human intervention. And you should, too.
Mental health has become a political talking point recently. Lots of the rhetoric has been stigmatising, harmful and inaccurate. It’s very distressing, and for some of us triggering, to hear mental health problems used as a political football.
This just popped up in my notifications 😂😂 That @HelloHydrogen campaign, alongside the failed trials must have done more to raise awareness of the downfalls of hydrogen for heating than anything that clean energy advocates could have managed!

Governments play a key role in unlocking industrial electrification and overcoming the barriers. What can policy makers do to help scale up industrial electrification? Our new piece for the World Economic Forum. @wef @RegAssistProj weforum.org/agenda/2024/04…

I worked as a teacher for a month at a school run by conspiracists who believed they were battling a sinister plot against humanity. The children were taught that crystals could cure them of illnesses and that Bill Gates was going to force them to eat insects. Here’s the story:

There's a lot to take in here, well worth a read.
Every time you see someone reference the skill builder video as evidence heat pumps don’t work please send them this.

This is fairly mind-blowing compared to what was being expected 18 years ago (remember the 2006 @UKERCHQ intermittency report talking about 20% renewables in 2020!?) .... Makes you wonder how mad 20 years from now will look

@heatpolicyrich While literally importing migrant workers at the same time from as far away as South Africa and Nepal to work in our fields 🤷 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 🫠 thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2023-0…
@Adam_Grant_Bell @heatpolicyrich That’s always been the key division : markets versus regulation / centralised choice. IMO whilst markets have their v impt place we have to have more central direction to achieve NZ. The last 30 yrs have shown markets don’t change quickly enough to keep up with innovation
@heatpolicyrich @HelloHydrogen it's funny to look back now.. the messed up 'public engagement' in Whitby did more to push people into researching their own gas alternatives than the 'E fundamentalists' ever could I had no idea what a HP was until Cadent came in telling me they knew best .. big mistake
New organisation. New twitter handle. Same me. 👋 @thecarbontrust
@AbigailDombey @_ChiefGeek Good morning. Currently back end of August, with some more projects to book in. We can start the conversations as soon as you like, better to start them earlier than later.
@IanStockport @heatpolicyrich That’s what I’ve ended up with - Simple cylinder and an immersion with a smart control. Been getting hot water at 7.5p the last 6 months or so. Not far off gas prices, and that standing charge is gone too 👍
@IanStockport @heatpolicyrich I did this for a year or so while I sorted my hot water. It worked fine, though I did pay almost £100 in gas standing charges for the privilege 😅 Would have loved to get an integrated heat pump cylinder, but the UK isn’t quite there yet for my slimline needs.
This!
If you're gonna push hybrid heat pumps, please be aware that you are feeding the 'heat pumps don't work' narrative.
@heatpolicyrich apart from anything else, why would you want to keep the gas standing charge- makes no sense
@heatpolicyrich I was always against them but I’m definitely coming round to the idea of them. They will have there place that’s for sure, and there’s big pros and cons to them. Time will tell whether they’re a good idea or not. Shouldn’t ever be used where a stand-alone is viable option though.
@heatpolicyrich True...but that is usually not in countries that house 500+ people per square kilometer...like we do here :)
@heatpolicyrich Did an excellent podcast on this with @cgrossbaier who @jkanbi works with . Christophe has experience with the NL market. You are right about the gas industry. betatalk.buzzsprout.com/509671/13473426
