The cost of living crisis is not going away.
It can not become normal that 1 in 7 people in Wales sometimes, often or always struggle to afford the essentials.

Fact 1: The IEA, CCC and other expert analysts say heat pumps are the best way to decarbonise home heat
Fact 2: Dale has a commercial interest in biogas, which he claims is a viable alternative to heat pumps
Fact 3: Biogas is not, in fact, a viable alternative to heat pumps
Fact 4: Dale repeats a series of myths about heat pumps that are addressed in this mythbuster by @janrosenow

The government’s heat pump programme risks tens of millions of people forking out thousands for technology that doesn’t deliver.
The case for all homes to have heat pumps does not stack up. Let’s have a proper debate on this informed by the facts.
theguardian.com/environment/…
Community note
Important context: Dale Vince is founder and CEO of Ecotricity. Ecotricity is pursuing biogas as an alternative energy source, competing directly with heat pumps as a net zero home heating solution.

Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/…
