[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

When looking to make the home more efficient you can heat/cool the space with a heat pump, make your domestic hot water with a heat pump -- but you can also dry your clothes with a heat pump.
Best news for Canadians: these dryers are ventless, so that's one less hole in the wall

[Costa Samaras @CostaSamaras]

We all know how awesome heat pumps are for home heating, but there all also heat pump clothes dryers. If you have one, are you happy with it? https://t.co/oCVAj2YljB

@Spearmac Congrats on your fantastic Wordle performance!

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

There are rippling effects when countries go to war, and one of them is the availability (and thus, cost) of fossil fuels. This acute problem is felt in Hawaii, which depends on Russian Oil. This doubles the impetus to fully switch to renewables.

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

When switching to new energy system concerns will arise. @studentenergy explains that many of these worries are, thankfully, not a big deal.

[Student Energy @studentenergy]

Welcome back to #Energy101! ⚡ Today, we’re debunking some of the most common myths that are used to create doubt about whether renewable energy is truly sustainable.

Also checkout the upcoming post for the valid concerns to be addressed as we expand renewable energy capacity.

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

A big change is coming: the largest coal plant in Australia is retiring - seven years early! These decisions are now more economic than environmental because wind and solar are now the lowest cost options for generating electricity.

The #ElectifyEverything/#Electrifictionary word of the day! Will it ever make it into wordle?

[Saul Griffith @GriffithSaul]

Electrifictionary word of the day:
Electro-lux (adj) Pertaining to the specific luxuries of all-electric appliances, such as radiant-heated floors, zippy electric cars, and incredibly clean and efficient heat and cooling with heat pumps.

[Student Energy @studentenergy]

Thrilled to welcome @PrairiesCanEN as the lead supporter of Student Energy Ventures, with a federal investment of $500,000 to support the first youth-led pilot projects across Western Canada. Thank you to Minister @stbstvdan for supporting youth-led clean energy innovation!⚡

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

We’re excited that our Capstone students Jack and Ethan are developing the first of many Student Energy Ventures clean energy projects right here on the @NAIT campus!

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

We often hear worries that a massive expansion of renewables will be difficult because of the need for more minerals - but did you know that clean energy systems actually consume far less extraction than other energy systems?

[Saul Griffith @GriffithSaul]

Electrification word of the day:
Electro-Confusion (noun) Being unclear about the difference between an old electric stove and a modern induction stove. Same with air conditioner and heat pump.

[Alternative Energy @NAITAltEnergy]

If we can move forward with the #ElectrificationOfEverything, we will significantly reduce GHG emissions. Follow @GriffithSaul as he rolls out the #Electrifitionary word of the day!

[Saul Griffith @GriffithSaul]

Electrifictionary word of the day:
Elec-trickery (adj) That thing that happens when the magnets inside the motors make the wheels go round and round.
