This is my last tweet. Will be picking up broadly sensible / work content on BlueSky and music stuff on Threads. See you there.

New on my anti-blog:
What can a Mark Twain novel from 1889 tell us about influencing net zero policy?

As a teaser of what to expect, the second post is essentially a pre-emptive apology for everything that precedes and follows it.

[andyregancdf.bsky.social ☕️ 🏡 🎸🍜🌊 @AndyReganCDF]

I’ve started something I shall misleadingly describe as ‘a blog about net zero’.

‘Blog’ implies a series of think pieces on a topic.

Instead this is likely to become a network of oblique rants, which teases coherence without ever delivering it.

Enjoy!

Had a dream I tried to go to a meditation class but it turned out to be a lecture by Emmanuel Macron that descended into a shouting match.

Flexibility services reward households for reduced energy use during peak times & are important for managing the grid. How can we make them work for everyone?

We worked with @UtilitaEnergy to understand the experience of those with prepayment meters. https://t.co/mFO19DlvqG

Ticketmaster are such scumbags. £200 surge pricing markup on concert tickets is indefensible.

Cool how extractive monopoly capitalism has broken the value chain of one of the most profound and universal parts of human experience, but still can't deliver a basic level of service / competence when it needs to. 👌

@MShepheard Presumably they went to ‘the doorstep’ to ask them their views?

Actually this should be great for my fitness stats as I have to stand up every 3 minutes or so.

Imagine being a 42 year old man and thinking you have the ability to juggle work, family and a seven inch vinyl box set.

Welsh politics chose a strange time to become interesting.

How long has gov dot uk officially been in Beta testing?

I think it's generally pretty good, but being perpetual beta is starting to feel like a cop out.

Time for a thread on our new policy plan for home heating.
Our homes are responsible for 14% of our carbon emissions, and we're well off track to reduce them. What should the new government do?

@ACJSissons I imagine you could sell tickets for such a machine for many hundreds of pounds.

New analysis: 1 in 10 households need to install a heat pump during this Parliament to meet the UK’s climate obligations

Nesta’s comprehensive plan outlines how the Government can get back on track with net-zero targets by decarbonising home heating: https://t.co/v8YJ0wFzXy

The entire energy sector (renewables AND consumer) has been calling for this for as long as I can remember. 🎉

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

This government was elected with a mandate to take immediate action to boost Britain's energy independence.

The onshore wind ban is a symbol of how bad decisions in the last fourteen years have put up energy bills for families.

Today, it ends.

People in seaside towns voting cos they’re angry about immigration when their real enemy is EasyJet.

This election result simply confirms what I thought all along.
