Absolutely this. Critical test for Labour's green credentials. If builders want quicker planning: * No gas in new homes * High EE standards And end the pointless debate about hydrogen for domestic heating while we're at it. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Yes, the Green Party needs to start making some tough decisions. Essential that renewable energy is cheap, and that means keeping transmission costs down.

NEW research published today with Nesta shows how heat pumps could lower energy bills. At today’s energy prices, 1 in 4 Scottish households could have lower bills. This rises to nearly all households if the UK Government reforms energy pricing. 🏠 1/2 nesta.org.uk/report/explori…
