"Heat pumps help narrow the energy gap between high- and low-income households (that is, the energy equity gap) by making cooling more affordable and indoor environments more comfortable."

Nice new paper in Nature Energy by @destenie.bsky.social and friends.

Heat pumps can help alleviate residential energy insecurity in the USA - Nature Energy
In the USA, households with heat pumps tend to cool their homes earlier, and this adoption helps narrow the income-based disparities in cooling usage. Heat pumps can help to alleviate residential energy insecurity and contribute to making energy more affordable and homes more comfortable, especially in the summer.

BBC decided to cancel a podcast on heat pumps deeming the topic "controversial" because it presented that the technology could contribute to net zero reducing carbon emmissions.

In 2025 an anti-science posture is not only valid, but required in any debate to be considered "balanced" 😬

A new EV battery could last 3.6 million miles: It costs 10% as much as lithium, lasts longer, and works in extreme temperatures. And it's made of salt. #SustainableEnergy #BatteryPower

Sobering piece in @nytimes.com compares China's advances in clean energy to the U.S.'s retrenchment in fossil fuels. Hard to read at a moment when the U.S. is giving up on a more affordable, healthier, and more sustainable future.

Fascinating developments in Texas worthy of spit-take with your Saturday morning coffee. The Lone Star State has quietly jumped headfirst into renewable deployment #RenewablesNow
Solar, wind and batteries aren't just "nice to have", or some crumbs we should beg for. They are literally the only way forward that keeps the lights on.
