@bbcquestiontime I think our challenge is to grow business through the valley of death. We are good at the beginning but support to get to scale is weak.

@OctopusEnergy @g__j If you want to make progress perhaps we should try and sort out a way to support industry for green development within our own country. Support entrepreneurship all the way through.

Allow @g__j to help you with that answer, Tim #bbcqt

I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stri… via @38degrees

Yet another @OctopusEnergy innovation, with @NationalGridESO. Putting customers first by lowering bills if they use energy flexibly... So much better than the traditional alternative of paying diesel generators and loading everyone's bills to pay for it.

@CoppiceJT Across central London it's my preferred option. Draw a line from start to finish and follow it fascinating what you find

My twitter feed is full of cycling, train and electric car advocates. Anyone just like walking? 👋

@g__j Great to see this sort of innovation. Finally we see low energy construction working with forward thinking energy supplier

1000 new homes with zero energy bills. This sort of innovation only possible because of our investments in tech and data science Innovation is essential to drive a faster, cheaper transition to a clean, secure energy system ft.com/content/b81307…

An innovation linking an energy company and construction. Definitely one to watch. ft.com/content/b81307…

@RobinNicholso14 @EdgeDebate @CullinanStudio Bewildering and never a mention of the luxurious comfort and low running cost of a well insulated house.

Stonking package of energy efficiency and heat pump support measures released by the Government of Ireland. Looks like plans for around a 1/3 of all homes upgraded in the next decade, majority of those with a heat pump. Supported by 10 years of funding! gov.ie/en/press-relea…

@_richardblack @janrosenow Grrrr!

THREAD: Something curious turns up in the gas statistics released this morning by government

Love birds in your garden but have trouble with squirrels? Cheer up it's amazing what a drop of coconut oil can do.

Italy... a new European record. A whopping 740.6mm (29.2 inches) of rain in just 12 hours! Italy set a new national record for rainfall in 6-hours and then went on to break the European record for 12-hour totals. This is the satellite loop over the last 36 hours.

@AndyFord6 @PippaPalmer4 @aarongillich great to see @FullyChargedShw getting to grips with the topic

However, those using them to call for a holistic carbon tax should be wary: a tax of £240/tonne applied to domestic gas heating would more than double its cost, plunging large portions of the country into fuel poverty. Suddenly, heat pumps and/or hydrogen don’t look so bad… /fin

I'm excited to announce that we have a new article in Nature Energy today. This is an important piece, and we agonized over every sentence. It's behind a paywall, but you can get a free PDF here, and a short thread follows: static1.squarespace.com/static/59bc0e6… nature.com/articles/s4156…
