Shame we can't muster the same ambition for heat pump regs - MCS show HPs are still rising in price!

The good news is decarbonisation should be manageable and won't cost the world - but it'll still be hard, as farming's in a fragile situation.

More cash for those with higher tax rates (meaning more income) is the opposite of what we should be doing - getting solar panels onto the rooves of fuel poor families. Poorer families have less salary to sacrifice, meaning less or no subsidy for them [contains quote post or other embedded content]14 Oct 2025 15:03 +0000at://did:plc:jex2cuy6jynqbudkkux434i7/app.bsky.feed.post/3m35ysd4ifs22https://bsky.app/profile/zackleather.resolutionfoundation.org/post/3lw4oii4kc22xGreat to see Guardian cover our research today - it's flats and smaller houses that are most at risk of overheating, so should be no surprise that vulnerable families will be more at risk.
