My latest for @BloombergNEF: The Next Half-Trillion-Dollar Market - Electrification of Heat. Following on the heels of renewables and electric vehicles, it's heat pumps and industrial heating where the really big numbers are going to be invested next.

@ECO2H2OUSE @theolodian @heatpolicyrich Depends where you are but Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage works a treat at scale https://t.co/gIHUzBCvVy

A depressing but important read on the combination of the political/fossil fuel industry revolving door and all party parliamentary groups being funded by fossil fuel interests - to promote hydrogen.

Thanks to @openDemocracy for asking me to comment.

"We’re moving forward together to address the holistic transition to cleaner buildings.” - @RockyMtnInst's @llouisprescott on California's impending vote to end the sale of polluting furnaces and water heaters by 2030. @KPBSErik https://t.co/rEQ9XOF0AA @SPUR_Urbanist @SierraClub

@heatpolicyrich ‘ultimately’ is quite close to reality. There are many years of work needed to produce truly green hydrogen at a scale and distributed at a price anybody might want to pay for a heating fuel and many better more more urgent uses for hydrogen.

Insulating homes pays back 4x quicker in the UK from October 2022 compared to 1 year ago.

This is because gas prices are skyrocketing and gas is used for heating in ~85% of UK homes.

We've some big plans @theCCCuk so we need new skills and people.

We're integrating our mitigation and adaptation analysis in crucial areas - and coordinating an ambitious new assessment of climate risks.

These roles are all open to external candidates

Two things I want to shoot into the 🌞 today (apart from the usual):
1. Ppl defending their indefensible carbon-intensive lifestyles as "convenient" or "inevitable" or "comfortable." It's like listening to alcoholics or heroin addicts, in many ways. Listen up. Perhaps ...
