How retrofitting the UK’s old buildings can generate an extra £35bn in new money

One week in and our new heat pump is making a big difference. We’re using ~70% less energy to achieve the same water heating result
Overall it means daily demand on our system has dropped ~20%
This reduced demand means our batteries are able to keep us off grid most of the time, even on generally sub-optimal days with long spells of low cloud
Sadly governments across the globe still don’t see the potential of these practical solutions

@muratk3n @ukuku I don’t agree that #Hydrogen is the silver bullet that’s going to serve all our energy needs. I do believe that #EnergyEffciency will become an important driver. Heat pumps, for instance, are very efficient in heating (and cooling). It’s highly likely that this will become the cheapest and most popular solution for most buildings.
Also, the power distribution system is almost universally available. Building an alternative infrastructure is hard to justify
