I no longer post here, I only post on Blue Sky. This is because this site is used to amplify hate-speech and far-right messages and abuse, and I am not happy to support that.

Many/most/all energy and climate people now only post on Blue Sky.

.@BBCr4today we *do not* have the most expensive electricity in Europe, it's actually about average #r4today. Left is DESNZ, right is eurostat.

PLEASE start speaking truth to power and challenge any guest who says this! @bbcnickrobinson @amolrajan @BBCSimonJack @DharshiniDavid

For @JustinOnWeb (and the whole @BBCr4today team); Britain does NOT have expensive energy compared to Europe. The UK is about average. Data for manufacturers from DESNZ and eurostat. #r4today

This.

This is deeply disappointing, as it's a) totally unnecessary bureaucracy, all heat pumps are near silent; b) unfair and discriminatory, as gas boilers are far noiser but aren't subject to noise assessment; c) undermines any benefit from removing the 1 m rule.

@MingleDandy @Miatsf Maximum permissible noise limits will remain and all heat pumps will still need to comply with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme Noise Planning Standard MCS 020 to be eligible for installation under permitted development.
