Newsflash. Not. Good #Brexit 2.0 piece here by @maddievitesse
@powellds Lack of competence of workforce.
Every single electrician and plumber I’ve had around to do other things have remarked that we’re the only people that say positive things about heat pumps; all their mates say they don’t work.
@chrisdunham70@Lees_Martina@carbonlaces Isn’t this whole thread essentially saying that EPCs aren’t really fit for purpose if people can’t understand what they’re actually saying without doing research?
@ELPinchbeck I did a planning application for mine for the same reason. It was just the cost of the application, not £2k. Stupid, but straightforward. We saved £1k in energy costs in the first year, before Ukraine, and are gas free. So don’t let that hurdle stop you.
Colorado is such a lovely state that doesn't go out of its way to make voting difficult.
Took 5 minutes in my sitting room and my partner wasn't fined for bringing me tea.
'we should have invested more in gas energy' says Truss. That would sure help with this [looks at notes] gas energy problem #C4LeaderDebate#insulation and #heatpump investment is how we deal with this.

@Frank_Reif_@LowCarbonHub Yeah, I was a bit taken aback when one of the energy folks suggested converting our suspended timber to a concrete solid floor. I’ve not done the carbon payback calc on that lovely idea
@Frank_Reif_@LowCarbonHub We haven't done this (yet?). It was a bit of a slippery slope dealing with the floor as I wanted to do UFH as well and the costs began to snowball. It's on the wish list
