Great to hear from Environment Victoria, VCOSS & Trades Hall about the huge benefits of electrifying our homes!

In a cost of living crisis, govt support to #GetOffGas is crucial, particularly for renters & lower-income households. It means #OneLessBill, improved health & reduced emissions

Calling Enbridge was not the most painful CSR experience I've ever had, but far from great.

Guy 1 was ok. He closed the account as requested, but then transferred me to guy 2 to do the disconnect. He seemed.... confused.

"Are you moving?"
"no"
"Are you demolishing the house?"
"no"
"You're disconnecting though?"
"yes"
"Do you have another source of energy?"
"yes. It's called electricity"
"but I mean gas?"
"no"
"You don't have another source of gas?"
"no"

#GetOffGas

I will accept your well wishes as my gas water and heat are getting replaced by heat pumps right now.

I'll take your blessings through this noise as I happen to be sick in bed.

#GetOffGas

Finally got an supply & installation date for the Mitsu Ecodan 14Kw... Next week!

Perfect timing tbh, pretty excited to #getOffGas

#CostOfLiving

Instead of the govt capping petrol and gas prices, how about:
🚗Building EV infrastructure & setting fuel emissions standards so cheaper & better EVs are sold in Aus
🌞Building renewables infrastructure & addressing solar for flats & renters to get households off gas.

Maybe the Guardian could have asked about that?

There’s nothing natural about Australia’s ‘cost-of-living crisis’. It’s time we had systemic change

The pain households are feeling right now is the direct consequence of decisions that governments have made over many years

“The utilities should not be in charge of energy planning in Massachusetts.” No kidding. So, don't put them in charge of the transition too or everyone will have heat pumps for cooling and gas "backups" for all their heating assuring zero drop in gas consumption.

The UK is supplying missiles to Ukraine to defend against the guy we are sending £6 million *a day* for fossil fuels.

This situation is inexcusable. Time to #GetOffGas NOW.
