Charging the home battery, boosting the ASHP for some extra space heating, popped the immersion on for extra hot water, and got the oven doing a pyrolytic self-clean.

Oh, so because she didn’t see it it didn’t happen. Gotcha. Perhaps she’s not actually seen the components that are supplied and fitted to the F-35s, so that isn’t happening either? 🤔

Whilst the question of F-35 components is important and needs to be answered, the focus must be on ending all this catastrophic loss of life by all means.

That may well be the case, but this government [and others] must be accountable for what arms they are supplying and to whom. Answers needed.

Maybe I’m being overly generous, but maybe the point she was trying to make is that if we focus on achieving a ceasefire then those components/jets will no longer be killing Palestinians, and neither will any components/weapons supplied by us or any other country.

Agile rates for the next few days should be interesting 🙂

…but the objective evidence demonstrates that Israel’s actions have been and continue to be abhorrent, and considerably worse than “daft”.

The truth is uncomfortable for somebody in his position but anybody with a conscience or a shred of empathy couldn’t just carry on ignoring/disbelieving it.

Haven’t seen nor heard of this bloke before now, but this does not leave a positive first impression!

I get it: he’s spent a good part of his career as a pro-Israel lobbyist - he is of course has biases that favour Israel’s point of view in all this…

Apparently Israel’s genocidal acts are just “daft”.

Wow, that is awful and very sad to see

There is an alternative to austerity, poverty and war.

We are that alternative. Let's build it, together.

You could have a look at heatpumpmonitor.org

Find a heat pump near where you need and hopefully there’ll be installer details against it with a link to their website.

Hope that helps 🙂

Our pear tree also had a bumper crop this year, but the veggies not so much. Rubbish runner beans and corn with so little rain 😢

Electrification is vastly more efficient than combustion technologies:

🚘 An electric car uses about 75% less final energy than an ICE car.

🔥 A heat pump delivers about 4x more heat for the same energy input.

Note: Of course the exact efficiency and saving will differ between models and context.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.

They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.

Our country needs a change in direction, now.

It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in.

Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

‘Kin bracing!

Did you know: Even if 100% of our electricity is from gas it is still less carbon intensive to use a heat pump than a gas boiler.

Professor David MacKay already told us this in 2008 in his celebrated book “Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air”.

I’m delighted to see that @octopus.energy Greener Days has been rebranded as Greener Nights, finally matching the underlying raw data window.
