Doing what we can, solar, battery, EV and ASHP, cycle mostly ! Insulated bits of a 1930’s solid wall bungalow and it’s lovely.💚

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I just listened to @quietriotpod.bsky.social with @annettedittert.bsky.social great content and perhaps an opportunity to understand the goings on in Europe that we are working through from a Europe perspective, perhaps it could be a regular feature ?

We progressively installed solar, battery, moved to an EV and Octopus Intelligent tariff with an ASHP in March. Yesterday I monitored battery use, 9 degree outside temperature, heating on@ 19 degrees. At 4pm the battery was at 81%, even on a rainy day solar generated 1.6 kW’s. Quite something
