I was a co-author on the second paper with @louisesunderland.bsky.social and Samuel Thomas. It can be considered a follow-up to RAP's 2022 paper on taxes and levies led by @janrosenow.bsky.social.
This work is timely and important as affordability is key to decarbonizing our heating systems.

2️⃣Longer paper on redistributing household taxes and levies to make electricity cheaper and heat electrification more affordable. This is the first of our 8 actions because these changes can be implemented and impact prices quickly. ⚡

Heat pumps are efficient.
But if electricity is more than 3-times the price of fossil gas or fuel oil, it will be hard to lower our energy bills.
Renovating leaky homes to reduce energy demand is important, but we can also bring down electricity prices.

Agree with many comments here and also to add: calling her "the frontrunner" right now is pointless. And using it to criticize her disqualification is clueless. The election is in 2 years. So much can happen by then.

I dunno what lessons there are to learn here. The policy was great and fair. Don't have a well-funded oil and gas propaganda machine that makes it a party's sole reason for existence for nearly 10 years?
