ok, brace yourselves...

a thread on expert reaction to the UK #EnergyStrategy -

“Nothing is said about improving energy efficiency. The first line of any new energy policy in the UK should read ‘insulate, insulate, insulate’." Prof Jon Gluyas, Durham Energy Institute

"This is not the holistic energy security strategy UK needs. It is half a strategy, focused on energy supply. Once again, government has missed an opportunity to provide more immediate relief to families facing very high energy bills" Prof @watsonjim2 @ucl

“The absence of any near term strategy on how to deal with transport and the high cost of personal travel is simply mind boggling. The recent reduction in fuel duty on fossil petrol and diesel was textbook regressive" Christian Brand @UKERCHQ

Looking increasingly like #energystrategy will be silent on demand reduction.

Having spent years in gov negotiating for stronger action on this, a few thoughts as to what they might be thinking, and why they're wrong...

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
1. "We don't need a thermostat campaign, public will turn down anyway to save money"

Wrong. People who can't afford to stay warm will turn down more than is healthy. People who can, generally won't. As @ACJSissons pointed out yesterday, overall price elasticity very low.
2. "We can't tell people to turn their flow temperatures down, they won't understand and it's nanny state"

Wrong. It doesn't have to be delivered by Gov, use energy suppliers, local authorities, consumer groups. @theheatinghub doing a great job, but shouldn't have to be.
