#insulationscheme — Public Fediverse posts

#Homeowners in old poorly #insulated #houses may be #eligible for a #grant or #freeinsulation to improve a #freezing #home. There appears to be a #povertytrap. It seems you may have to have an #Energyperformancecertificate to #access all sorts of help. An #EPC is only valid for 10 yrs & may cost up to £120. That's #money many won't have. Looks like no-money-no-help!

Sounds terrible. Like a failure of govt to allocate #energy.

Reminds us of the 2009 #PinkBats "Scandal" in #Australia. Our PM #KevinRudd and #PeterGarrett funded as many #builders as possible to install #insulation. It was an incredibly successful #InsulationScheme but #corporateMedia only blame Rudd for the few bad builders that abused the funding, resulting in two worker deaths and some fires.

Aussies save 30% on energy but media focus on bad apples.

Before #KevinRudd was destroyed in the #corporateMedia and removed, he setup a National #insulationScheme that helped #Australia save 30% on #airConditioning!

Not even #USA have worked that one out yet, last we checked.

To be fair KevinRudd wanted a few things the corporates hated; good wired internet for all, sound relations with #China , a #sovereignWealthFund from #mining, and was good on #JulianAssange.

Since the #KRuddCoup we've been, to quote Gillard, "#LosingOurWay", big time.

2/2…the #poisonsCartel/#billionaires to continue what they've been doing + go harder spaying #cities when #airConditioners may be used. We say stop producing airConditioners. Make undrgr'nd cool spaces + have an #insulationScheme.

It reminds of those who decried #GMOs, only to be vindicated with the #MonsantoPapers after career was ruined.

We're pro-#degrowth. Everything about atmospheric #aerosolisation seems criminal #scienceAbuse.

5/9

The rejection of the thuggish autocrat and abusive PM #JohnHoward, could be felt in your core. Howard would divert attention from important things by pointing at #refugees on #boats, and #bribing people to #procreate. An awful man. We elected #KevinRudd who was visibly preparing to turn things around.

Amidst a #GFC, Kevin was great on #environment, reducing our electricity use by 30% by starting an #insulationScheme. (5/9)
