“Why Bill Gates’ climate memo is being celebrated by skeptics while frustrating scientists" | Article by Ryan M. Katz-Rosene for @us.theconversation.com: theconversation.com/why-bill-gat...

80% of people live in fossil-importing countries. #COP30 can help change that with electrotech: ✅ 92% of countries have renewables potential 10x their demand ✅ EVs + heat pumps + renewables can cut fossil imports by 70% ✅ That’s $1.3 trillion saved annually https://loom.ly/3w1t6MY#COP30

🔴 NEW 🔴 Lomborg for years has argued in op-eds, lectures, and the media that there are more important global issues to prioritize than climate change, writing in April that “it is not the existential threat that some would have us believe.”

October 2025 heat pump stats: Energy in: 331 kWh @ 11.94 p/kWh average Heat out: 1,151 kWh Average COP: 3.48 Average cost of heat delivered: 3.43 p/kWh [~52% cheaper than 85% efficient gas boiler @ 6.14p/kWh] Monitoring by @openenergymon.bsky.social

As you know, Homeowners are now starting to time their heating, often thinking it saves energy, but in reality, this can increase bills and CO₂ emissions. Whether they have a boiler or heat pump, share the video in the reply to help your friends and fam make smarter heating choices this winter!

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through. No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened. But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this. Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

MILESTONE | This September, EU solar generation already surpassed 2024's total. In the whole of 2024, solar generated 301 TWh of EU power. By September 2025, it reached 312 TWh. Get the latest data updates via Ember’s data explorer 🔍 https://ember-energy.org/data/electricity-data-explorer/

Electrification is vastly more efficient than combustion technologies: 🚘 An electric car uses about 75% less final energy than an ICE car. 🔥 A heat pump delivers about 4x more heat for the same energy input. Note: Of course the exact efficiency and saving will differ between models and context.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality. They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead. Our country needs a change in direction, now. It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

The biggest far-right demonstration in British history is a gruesome reminder of how much trouble we are in. Since the financial crash, the direction of travel for the far right across the West has only been in one direction - and that is up.

Did you know: Even if 100% of our electricity is from gas it is still less carbon intensive to use a heat pump than a gas boiler. Professor David MacKay already told us this in 2008 in his celebrated book “Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air”. interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/he...
