Efficiency is important, but systemic change is essential. Embedding climate and clean economy goals into the RIO’s mandate will be critical to ensuring clean tech innovation is supported by the right regulatory framework.

Technologies like engineering biology, space innovations, AI in healthcare, and autonomous tech will undoubtedly improve efficiency and services, but they may not significantly "shift the dial" on the climate crisis—the most pressing challenge we face.

It's great to see the Science Secretary launch the new Regulatory Innovation Office to accelerate access to emerging technologies. While this is a positive step forward, it’s worth noting the limited emphasis on climate and the clean economy in the Office’s priorities.

Please could any heat pump experts explain to me what should be included in a heat loss assessment and what to look out for? Had a company round to size one up for us (landed on an 8.5kw system) but didn’t get much of an impression they were measuring a lot…

This is a joke ITV. People in this country are on their bloody knees and you are giving them 45 seconds. 45 seconds to hold Sunak to account for his party destroying our country. 45 seconds for Starmer to set out a different path. An absolute farce #ITVDebate

New @IPPR report delves into less explored factors that impact retrofit decisions - cost is obvious, but the more nuanced is social relations, such as who you know/ how well you know them. These play a major influencing role in how people spend their money on home retrofit 🏘️⚡️⬇️

At the launch of @UKGBC 's much needed Retrofit Investment Calculator Tool, @CSkidmoreUK remarks the urgent need to insulate our homes, at a time where energy security is of paramount importance. Also good to see GBIS launched today - let's hope it delivers...

This morning I launched our £1bn Great British Insulation Scheme. This will offer energy efficiency upgrades to more than 300,000 homes - helping those that need it most save hundreds on bills, by heating their homes for less

Do you understand now…?? Please😭
Those damned climate protestors walking slowly, causing havoc and delays in Rhodes this afternoon. Oh, wait- sorry it’s the climate causing the havoc. Mass holiday evacuations have now begun. Perhaps we should build more wind farms or something. https://t.co/51N9RTfTY6

Great to be involved in this project on the heating and insulation side. Huge props to my wonderful colleagues on pushing this through over a challenging period #greengrowth
The UK needs to accelerate action on green growth measures if we want to realise our potential & stand firm with international competitors. Our new 'Going for Green' report outlines those measures that could bring a £37-57bn boost to our GDP by 2030 🔗 https://t.co/CAxcEsXCVA

This is really important - having experienced long covid first hand, it’s so essential we keep the conversation alive
Yet another increase in inactivity due to long-term sickness today from @ONS with 2.5 million people, representing nearly 3 in 10 of those economically inactive. Continuing the conversation beyond spring budget is vital.

Hey @BorisJohnson, thought I’d do a survey to help you read the room. A simple question: Should Stanley Johnson (Boris Johnson’s father) receive a knighthood? Please retweet once you answer so that we can get as many responses as possible
