@g__j Always happy with UK service, but please sort out Germany! Waiting 8 months and still don't have an operational smart meter or even an estimate of when. Nobody has an overview and departments don't speak to each other

@JasonGroves1 Sir Professor David MacKay in his book, “Sustainable Energy without the Hot Air” back in 2007 wrote (paraphrased)
“To fight climate change, we need ‘country-sized’ solutions … however the British are only willing to support building things if they are no bigger than a fig leaf."

@alistairmcgirr @haringeycouncil @perayahmet Perhaps they don't consider themselves part of Europe anymore!

@telebusiness He's ripped the vowels out of the name and the bowels out of the business!

@EnfieldCladding @JakeEllis @NatBarkerIH I think they were referring to kicking the doors in!

[Keith MacLean @macleank]

@NatBarkerIH LFB report into recent fire at NPW found that all automatic fire safety systems failed. Ballymore said this did not matter because they could still be operated manually. This is like a car manufacturer saying it's ok when the airbags fail because you can blow them up by mouth!

Tomorrow our inquiry into batteries and fuel cells continues, examining their roles on power grids, with Nick Winser of @EnergySysCat, Dr Jane Dennett-Thorpe of @ofgem, Prof Tim Green (@OtherProfGreen) of @EnergyFuturesIC, and Dr Keith MacLean (@macleank): https://t.co/3gP7FFOtO5

@SpeakSarahSpeak Sarah, I agree and actually live here. Fortunately safe now. We've been fighting for years to get Ballymore to sort cladding and wooden(!) balconies. Not due to be complete before May 2022. Despite this the alarms and fire doors didn't work yesterday!

@Georgeday27 @the_ETI I dusted off my version for a new project with @CarbonConnectuk advising a Xparty parliamentary inquiry on governance for delivering Net Zero. Good to join up initiatives if possible

Still waiting on ‘Gas by Design’ https://t.co/fMHgqMWSVV

@janrosenow We got better at explaining it after publication, so happy to talk through our thoughts if it helps

[Exponential View 🔮 @ExponentialView]

🌡️ Home heating is responsible for 13% of all CO2 emitted annually in the UK = 38.4 million cars. How do we go about decarbonizing our homes? @macleank explores with us https://t.co/cUKmpKsoqF

Just launched the final report of the Northern Ireland RHI public inquiry - 3 years work, 1.2 million pages of evidence and 114 days of oral hearings. Free to read and analyse at https://t.co/tRRC30gcXj

@SSE to change its name? SSSE, Scottish, Southern and Swiss Energy seems more appropriate now!
