How to build smart homes with micro-grids

Agreed, it's not what you build, it's how you build it. However, new builds aren't really the environmental problem when compared to the existing 28million buildings we already have. The solution there is to get clean electricity into them and remove gas. But the grid can't cope. It is only by installing micro-grids locally that we get around the grid problems, democratise the energy supply and create a smarter grid, not a fatter one! We're installing them at zero cost to the landlord / tenants as the savings in cost fund the capital. And because every house already has an electricity supply, we don't need to dig any holes! And quickly! Dale Vince #housebuilding #netzero #decarbonisation

Fun chat with Sophie Ridge on Sky News this evening - we covered the big news of the day; Labour’s Great British Energy company of course, how I see things three weeks into the new government, moved on to housing and growth. Sophie asked if I was going soft, because I support growth and new housing but that’s to misunderstand being green. We also talked about the nuclear proliferation plan and Just Stop Oil, the awful sentences handed down last week for peaceful protest - oh and Heathrow’s desired new runway... and Bojo...:)
