It's LGBTQ+ history month. Myself, & other LGBTQ+ folk in STEM, work to improve inclusivity. But why is this needed?
The recent dismantling of inclusion initiatives, & the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ governments, it's important to reflect on why we do this 🏳️🌈👇🧵

Want to ‘buy 🇬🇧 British’ energy for for heating?
By 2030, w/ renewable roll outs, heat pumps will use:
📍 55% LESS imported energy than today
📍 1/6 the imported energy of a gas boiler

Today, thanks to BUUK, I got to visit a wonderful zero carbon heat network in Suffolk. It will supply a new build suburban housing estate with heat and instant hot water from an air source heat pump.
It even had a thermal store to help reduce electricity demand during peak hours.

Great news! The government is going to remove the 1m planning application requirement for heat pumps.
This rule was putting people off getting a heat pump and makes it much easier for people in terraced houses to install one.

20 minutes to cover the energy infrastructure policy needed to meet net zero was a challenge but the questions show it was worth while!
