James Twallin @twallinjames.bsky.social · 30/06/2026When will heating policy take gas emissions seriously? According to current heating policy, they are totally absent. If leaks were actually considered, we'd be looking at a carbon intensity of gas heating that would be much higher than 200g per kWh. 120
James Twallin @twallinjames.bsky.social · 27/06/2026That might have been the case 10 years ago, but absolutely not true nowadays. Reversible units are dominant in residential aircon. 000

James Twallin @twallinjames.bsky.social · 22/04/2026The new £9,000 BUS grant for oil and LPG homes looks regressive, and the data says it is. 54% of oil-heated property sales sit in the top 30% of UK house prices. Only 9% sit in the bottom 30%. Gas heats Britain. Oil heats the top of Britain. 112

James Twallin @twallinjames.bsky.social · 08/04/2026The North Sea Link connects GB to Norway's 85TWh+ hydro system via a 720km subsea cable. GB curtailed 10TWh wind in 2025. My modelling suggests that grows fourfold by 2035. That 'wasted wind' should be seen as a potential export to Norway. 031
Reposted by James Twallin Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Rising energy prices are pushing up inflation, especially in economies dependent on imported fossil fuels. The durable solution is structural: improve efficiency, accelerate electrification and scale up renewables. Energy policy is economic policy. 1118778

James Twallin @twallinjames.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Hawaii Gas is the sole gas utility in Hawaii and reports its own safety data. There's no independent monitoring body doing spot checks on their leak rates. Same situation. No independent oversight. 001
