‘Hydrogen-ready’ and ‘renewable fuel-ready’ boilers = distraction and delay.
The fossil fuel heating industry’s latest attempt to slow down clean heating in Europe.

Every voter should see this clip of Mehmet Oz, the Republican candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania, claiming that abortion should be a decision between “women, doctors, and local political leaders.”
Your body. Their choice.

I hear they have headcount for at least 5 folks in this round. Just email your cover letter and a resume, that's it.

Burning hydrogen for heating compared to heat pumps and electrification is a poor option economically, environmentally, socially and thermodynamically. I have a new, fully referenced long-read with @DavidCebon just published in @rechargenews

Not to mention the big headline grabbers like EV rebates that extend well into the future, creating longer-term certainty and hopefully driving (heh heh) true market transformation.
I know I am way behind the rest of energy twitter on this, but I am excited to learn that the IRA will include rebates for cool things like induction stoves, and equally cool things like holistic upgrades to insulation and windows

The video of Mr. heat pump riding the DC Metro is the best thing I've seen in a while. Heat pumps are having a moment.

Europe must quickly paint itself a new energy landscape. One that doesn’t over-rely on a backdrop of fossil gas.
My new article for @FORESIGHTdk explores the smart art of household flexibility. #demandresponse 1/8 https://t.co/Fqpcnnclae

Electrification of existing housing stock is a big mountain to climb, and every home is different. Our proposal to swap AC to heat pumps opens a path. @CLASPappliances and @RegAssistProj have a new paper about how this works. Check it out: https://t.co/aSbWREPGpV
What is the joy of flex?! Find out from two of my esteemed EU colleagues. @slyule@sunderlandlouis
Demand-side flex is... a vital system resource that should be valued as such! 🎤
Time for Europe to embrace the joy of flex!
Deploying #DemandSideFlexibility as a power system resource is key to switching fossil fuels for renewables, facilitating electrification AND cutting costs.
My new paper with @sunderlandlouis explores how. https://t.co/juwbOHkmI3 1/6
We talked to our 4th grader in very general terms, about Uvalde. When we asked if he had questions he started talking about how it was up to his generation to stop climate change - and I wondered about how he went from A to B but also, our children carry an unbelievable weight.
New study from @SouthwestEE: it costs less to build and operate an all-electric home in the SW than one running on gas, regardless of cold vs. warm region. Helpful recommendations for PUCs, local govt, utilities, and program operators. https://t.co/WbLTQOwIfJ
@iamjohnoliver@LastWeekTonight@RegAssistProj PBR is timely – it’s moving forward at varying speeds in many states today, e.g. NC, IL, WA. Many opportunities coming up to get it right.
Hearing @iamjohnoliver mention performance-based regulation on @LastWeekTonight = pop culture moment for energy nerds and a chance to remind #EnergyTwitter about the PBR shelf in RAP’s digital library.
@iamjohnoliver@LastWeekTonight Lots of other @RegAssistProj pubs delve into using PBR to get what we want from utilities. One I think about regularly: making sure customers get the benefit of utility IT / IS investments. https://t.co/Kb9qKVT3EG
