Here’s an interesting (and hopeful!) article by Bill Mckibben about US citizens and the rest of the world (despite any upcoming lack of support from the US govt!) continuing to move ahead with clean energy implementation! As Mckibben writes, “We the people still have a role to play”. commondreams.org/opinion/trump

Posting this here so I don't forget about it, but also to share: Appropedia is a whole wiki devoted to sustainability projects, many of which can be easily accomplished by an individual or small organization (not to say that climate change responsibility falls on individuals). Found on the Solarpunk subreddit.

Thanks; that's a useful data point.

Our place is a bit of a barn, and it's in a very exposed spot. We've insulated the walls and roof and installed heat recovery ventilation, but it'll never be as energy-efficient as a more modern house. We might scrape a C rating if we paid for a new EPC now, but Good Energy doesn't seem to be demanding one.

I'm planning to go through a few winter months with the new #HeatPump before installing a #battery so that I know how large it needs to be. Those things still aren't cheap, and they don't last for ever, so I want to get it right. I suspect we'll need a three-phase supply for that, and then it becomes seriously expensive.

#Photovoltaic #SolarPanels are on the plan, but our roof is unsuitable (too many dormers and curves — yes, curves), so it won't be a simple installation. The panels will need to go on some kind of frame, but then they'll be visible from the road and they'll be a target for burglars. I haven't yet worked out how to deal with that. It may be that we need to abandon that idea and invest the money in a solar collective instead.
