UK Energy Bills Could Rise Amid Iran Conflict “Drilling more North Sea oil won’t cut UK prices, it’s sold globally. Better to focus on heat pumps, EVs, renewables and efficiency to lower bills and boost security,” says Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy, Oxford University, on LBC.

“An 11th-hour policy shift away from heat pumps would devastate UK heating engineers and installers, with a budget cut to heat-pump subsidies having dire consequences for the industry,” - Aadil Qureshi, CEO of Heat Geek, the UK’s largest community of independent heating engineers, on Times Radio.

“The Warm Homes Plan is almost a rescue mission for those living in cold, damp homes,” says @sifrancis.bsky.social End Fuel Poverty Coalition coordinator. “It could ease health impacts, cut NHS pressure, and benefit those who need it most.” on @bbc5live.bsky.social

A data centre under your sink or in your shed pays your heating bills. “We pay for the electricity to run the modules, and the computing power heats your water and home. The excess heat can replace a boiler or heat pump, cutting your energy costs.” Travis Theune, CEO, Thermify. thermify.cloud

UK's first geothermal plant turns on today A first-of-its-kind plant in Cornwall takes water and heat from 3 miles underground to drive turbines, generating energy for 10,000 homes. “Like a nuclear power station underground, we’re just tapping the heat,” says Ryan Law CEO of Geothermal Engineering.

"Most of the increase in peoples bills in the UK when it comes to electricity are from the added cost of gas, just over two thirds of the bill." - @janrosenow.bsky.social explains a new report by UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) to @lbcnews.bsky.social

"Cutting ECO without a transitory plan, this government currently does not have a current plan to alleviate there being 6.1 million people in fuel poverty in the UK, who are having to choose between heating and eating. As well as putting 21,000 jobs at risk without warning" - Nigel Donohue, CEO, IAA

President’s Day is no longer just about presidents

MacFarlane: A whopper of a court filing just now from about three dozen retired former federal judges asking a court to stop this slush fund from proceeding and calling into question whether Trump and his own Department of Justice and IRS colluded to deceive the court

Rhodes: Who looks like a more stable and predictable actor? The Chinese Communist Party, where maybe you think they’re bullies, but the terms never change? Or the United States, where you have a president who’s been imposing tariffs, launching wars, shaking you down for essentially tribute payments?

Wolves once beat Real Madrid to sign Ruben Neves. In the Championship. 😮 Then sold: ❌ Jimenez ❌ Jota ❌ Neves ❌ Cunha ❌ Ait-Nouri ❌ Semedo ❌ Sarabia 20th. Every week. All season. This is what systematic dismantling looks like. 😶 #Wolves #PremierLeague #Relegation #EPL

What the hell. PURA got this dead wrong. This decision delivers $68 million more in profits and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonus pay for corporate executives.

Highly recommended vid! "The government's being run by Stephen Miller, who is a white supremacist. Close to the election he'd ask me for retweets almost every day..
