@GeorgeGreenwood @jameshurley “Tory peer accuses startup of being too successful”, while my bank of ten years (Barclays) wouldn’t pickup the phone for 8 weeks, Starling lent to our business within a week, fulfilling the promise asked of it by the government of the time during a crisis.

@shaylekann Latest @CatalystPod episode is giving me bad case of whiplash. Seems just last week that all the pods were about how we'd never seen such positive environment for climatetech? Recently pretty much any bad news globally has been good news for climate tech startups..

@CatalystPod Finally got around to listening to the Interchange without @shaylekann OMG, feel like my grandma just broke in and took my Tesla for a joyride. Looking forward to the new Pod. :-)

Top story on @dorsetbiznews: UK’s biggest cohousing project set to become the blueprint for others to follow as it showcases the largest community microgrid of photovoltaic panels in the country, which will help make the housing project zero carbon in use.

@iotwatch @GNLamp I think there are many of us who put our life savings, blood sweat tears into IoT startups 10 years ago, now somewhat bemused by the seeming ease venture funded back startups with the same idea eclipse us today. For me it’s Helium (excl. blockchain) https://t.co/jiUIxRpqXC

🚿@MixergyLtd reinvented the hot water tank - saving 11-14% on energy bills & carbon.

🈴 We confirmed it with - Home Energy Dynamics - which can simulate interaction with building types/fabric, heating & occupancy without deploying in the real world.

Fantastic news that the @ambitionlw wind turbine project has been unanimously approved by the planning committee. Next stage is the requirement for approval by the secretary of state I urge the government to back the decision made today.

[Damon Rand @ceprouk]

This is what good energy policy looks like, well done Scotland! Wales also doing well. Now lets see England follow suit as well!

Clearly #energytransition is snowballing right now. 57 days without coal in the UK, oil prices negative, solar panel prices tumbling. With global recession looming the only safe place investors can put their money is new solar or wind power plants.
