'To go fast, we must go slow.'
5 years in the making, this @CoalTransitions paper highlights the dangers of rapidly pushing through an #energy transition from the top-down without taking the time to include people in planning and benefits. 1/5

This is really, REALLY not helpful. Markets and energy pricing regimes can change, physics can't. Heat pumps are the best solution for many.
