As someone who almost never goes anywhere on holiday but the British countryside, I’ve really lived this decline. The windscreen splats thing from my own childhood is just impossible to describe to my kids

Thanks to whoever suggested to use the block feature for twitter ads. I’ve spent the last week like this was a game and now I have the most inappropriate and random ads ever. Oh, and ads seem to be so prevalent, every 3-4 tweets there’s an ad inserted. Sad twitter user.

@popey We got rid of Sky TV this year and haven’t missed it one bit. FreeView and streaming services are all the family really watch. I got sick of the Sky tactic of offering you a deal to stay and slowly upping prices until you notice and ‘negotiate’ a new deal to get locked in again.

@grahamhrtn We have a 12kWh battery and almost always use it all. 4kWh PV and fill it up on Octopus Go overnight. I’d say go for the biggest battery that fits within your budget.

@EVPuzzle The solution is a more intelligent self-consumption algorithm that takes into consideration excess solar, ToU, and preferences and tries to squeeze absolutely everything from that into your own usage before, as a last resort, using the grid. These systems are not too far away 😉

The technology needed to decarbonise our homes exists, we just need to realise its potential. Read how we can make smart homes a reality of the future in this interesting article by @pjnvdm, VP Home & Distribution @SchneiderUKI in @EWMagUK latest edition: https://t.co/IZ4q8FYglX

@rainveil @ubuntu I do t think it’s fixable but that’s ok.

[Jamie Bennett @jamiebennett]

@rainveil @ubuntu My take on this, the average Linux user is not an average computer user and no distro is as easy or familiar as mainstream OS providers like Microsoft and Apple. New Linux users who switch generally know what they are getting into, the ones that don’t are often disappointed.

I can’t wait to see the #HomesOfTheFuture reach their full efficiency potential. There’s still a way to go, but gains are already being made. My colleague, @MikeHughesSE, reveals how we can get there in his latest #SEBlog. https://t.co/wSLq5Iu23Q

Meet Tim. Tim lives in Devon. Tim is a grandfather who has found Wiser highly efficient and shares his experience with us.

@sarah_go_green @OctopusEnergy Similar view to Wiser by @SchneiderElec. Comparing kWh of usage between gas and electricity is frightening. Highlights the disparity between the (subsidised) cost of gas vs electricity. The figures below include my home with an EV but heating in the UK is the main consumer today

[Jamie Bennett @jamiebennett]

@agile_phil Whilst I personally believe the road to #netzero by 2050 isn’t quite as “clear” as made out here, on the topic of thermal storage, a lot of UK households have this, it’s called a hot water tank. For HPs, we have the buffer tank. Two water stores with potential for ToU tariffs.

🇬🇧 "From April, the govt will offer £5,000 to people in England & Wales to encourage them to replace their gas boilers with heat pumps. In his Spring Statement, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced that VAT will be scrapped on heat pumps for 5 years..." https://t.co/gdrt6LnQh1
