Help! We're doing some quick research on air-to-air heat pumps (also sometimes called aircon heating).

If you have an air-to-air or have views on them, we'd be very grateful for your input. Details here:

Haven’t been as active lately—recent global events, especially threats to Canada’s sovereignty, have been weighing heavily. It’s tough to focus on optimism when democracy feels fragile. Taking a moment to recalibrate, but still committed to pushing for a sustainable future. 🌍⚡ #energysky #greensky

Scotland punches way above its weight in renewable energy. Producing more electricity than it uses, with a growing wind sector—impressive stuff. #energysk

This is the kind of policy shift that could actually move the needle. If heat pumps are going to be the best option for more people, making electricity cheaper is a big piece of the puzzle. #energysky

A solid breakdown of the facts. Renewables aren't just cleaner—they're the best bet for long-term energy security and cost stability. The more we electrify with renewables, the more we cut pollution and save money. #EnergySky

Interesting insights—heat pumps hold tremendous promise, but affordability is key for mass adoption. Scaling production and incentivizing installation could make a significant difference, especially in retrofits. Curious to see how policy evolves to support this transition. #HeatPumps

Good points—lab breakthroughs do need to prove themselves in real-world conditions. The promise of solid-state is exciting, but as you said, scaling safely and affordably is key.

Wind vs. oil: Which is worse for wildlife? This BBC article dives into the impacts on birds & whales—local effects vs. climate consequences. A fascinating read! What’s your take?

#EnergySky #Renewables #Wildlife #ClimateChange

Which is worse for wildlife, wind farms or oil drilling?

US President Donald Trump says that wind farms harm birds and whales. Scientists weigh wind power's impacts on wildlife against those of oil and gas.

Woops! Good catch! 70GW, not 600GW—still a massive project with huge potential. Thanks for pointing that out! 🌍⚡

One key way to improve is by focusing on making solutions accessible and relatable. Highlight the real-world benefits of clean energy (e.g., cost savings, local job growth) and human stories of adaptation and innovation. People connect with people. 🌍⚡

When it comes to #climatechange, some actions are more impactful than others.🤔

These actions are even more effective when we work as a community, supporting groups and programs that make it easier for everyone to adopt climate-friendly behaviours.

Your approach is both thoughtful and inspiring. The way you fine-tune your setup and make mindful adjustments is a great example of how intentional living can lead to meaningful impact.

Your 'sufficient' lifestyle is an inspiring example of how small, thoughtful choices can make a big impact! Combining well-insulated housing with heat pumps and mindful habits seems like a winning formula for sustainability.

That’s impressive—your solar setup is clearly doing the heavy lifting! Aging panels and batteries can definitely play a role, but the surplus you’re still exporting is no small feat. Curious if you’ve got plans for upgrades or just monitoring for now?

These do look great—love the uniform and sleek design. Aesthetics like this can really help solar blend into the landscape while still making an impact. Hope the cost and efficiency match the look!

💡Energy Hack: Stop Phantom Power! Unplug devices you rarely use or switch to smart power strips to save up to $100/year. Easy changes, big savings! #EnergyHackSunday #energysky #greensky

An image with a bright blue background showing multiple black power cords unplugged near a white power strip. A pink piggy bank sits on a pile of cash in the lower right corner. Bold text at the top reads 'Stop Phantom Power!' with smaller text below stating 'Unplug devices to save up to $100/year in electricity!' The hashtags #EnergyHackSunday and 'Wattandbeyond' appear in the corners.

You're spot on, Glen—finding that balance of incentives is critical. We can’t afford to give away too much, but we need to create an environment where investment thrives. Faster reviews and better collaboration are essential. Building up existing companies makes a lot of sense too. #energysky
