Still keep seeing articles about #heatpumps not being suitable for UK homes. Well, the new air source heat pump installed in my home over the summer seems to be working just fine. It had its first real test at the weekend when it reached 3C overnight. The inside temp never dropped below 17.5C and comfortably maintained 18.5-19C throughout the day, and did so using less than a quarter of the energy than a typical winter&#39;s day last year when we heated our home with gas. And no CO2!

Energy transition in the US reaches a new milestone. The first offshore wind turbine is installed in the first offshore wind farm, the Vineyard Wind 1 array in the northeast. #energytransition #offshorewind https://www.avangrid.com/w/avangrid-cip-announce-successful-installation-of-the-first-turbine-for-vineyard-wind-1
