Hydrogen to be burned for heating is extremely inefficient & also creates #AirPollution. It isn't like fuel cells that are used in vehicles. Plus it makes many materials brittle & leaks more easily than gas.

@ofgem witnesses also called for the hydrogen decision to be brought forward at the oral evidence session of the @energygovuk Select Committee last week

@DrSimEvans Rebalancing the cost of energy means increasing the price of gas. Accelerating that policy will mean even more people being unable to afford to heat their homes. People will die!

After 8 years of Trudeau, Canadians are watching their home heating bills skyrocket. This, as the NDP & Liberals plan to triple the carbon tax on home heating, making it even more costly. Enough. Keep the heat on & take the tax off:

Martin Lowenthal (Martin Lowenthal) did everything state authorities suggested for his energy future, installing solar panels and converting his home heating from oil to heat pumps. Instead of savings, he got hit with this month's massive spike in energy costs. Hear his story: #mapoli

I'm in Redcar, where last week the government abandoned trials of hydrogen for home heating. Scrapping these trials puts the future of the gas industry and tens of thousands of jobs at risk. Politicians must be honest about the realities, and the exorbitant cost, of heat pumps.

In just 8 years, China pumped out more carbon emissions than Britain has produced in 250 years. Net zero is wrecking our industry, and driving up our energy bills, but it's having zero impact on global climate. It's time to scrap Net Zero for good.

Scotland has vast renewable energy resources, and fantastic innovation to harness them. I saw this in action at the world-leading H100 project in Methil, Fife - where hundreds of homes are switching from gas to hydrogen for zero-carbon heating. Here’s how 👇

1/2 We’re expanding the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to include grants for air-to-air heat pumps and clean technology, such as heat batteries. Providing households with more choice when switching to low-carbon heating that could help save money on energy bills.

On January 1, we’re taking the Trudeau-NDP carbon tax off natural gas for home heating to match the federal exemption for heating oil. About 30,000 Saskatchewan households, many in northern and First Nations communities, use electricity to heat their homes. Here’s what we’re doing to ensure fairness for those Saskatchewan families.

Trudeau has provided a carbon tax exemption on home heating for families in one part of the country, but not here. It’s unfair, it’s unacceptable, and here’s what we’re going to do about it.

BREAKING: Alberta farmers are protesting outside Liberal MP George Chahal’s office for voting against axing the carbon tax from home heating. “Especially on heating your home? Give me a break! It [the carbon tax] should be gone and so should this government,” said woman who came to show her support for the farmers. MP’s office did not respond to the door when the protesters tried to submit their grievances in a written message. More to come Media Bezirgan

Big vote MONDAY. MPs will vote to remove the carbon tax from everyone’s home heating bills. Now is the time to email your MP and ask what’s more important to them: Loyalty to Trudeau. Or standing up for you and giving all Canadians carbon tax relief.

The carbon tax makes the cost of everything from home heating and electricity to your grocery bills more expensive. We urge the federal government to take the affordability crisis seriously and immediately cancel the increase to the carbon tax - better yet, eliminate it.

July’s northern hemisphere heatwaves are no longer rare events because of climate change. The increase in record-breaking heatwaves underscores the importance of both adapting to heat and reducing emissions – until we achieve net zero, heatwaves will continue to intensify 📈

Can a medieval town replace fossil heating with clean energy? Yes it can! Here's an inspiring example from a place close to home for me - I grew up just a few miles from the German town of Lemgo founded in 1190. Many of Lemgo's buildings are very old and listed. The city is using district heating in combination with advanced heat pump technology, extracting heat from its wastewater treatment plant and the nearby River Bega. Lemgo has also installed solar thermal systems and aims to generate over 55% of its district heating from renewable sources by 2028. Investments in large-scale heat storage are also underway to further support the transition.
