  1. Start by adding insulation in any old home.   Blower door testing for air leaks and sealing those leaks is an under appreciated tool for increasing energy efficiency and comfort. When building or remodeling a home quality energy efficient doors and windows are worth the upgrade. Once you have reduced the heat loss of the home sizing an HVAC system will be much more accurate.

  2. Europe, Germany and the rest of the world have been too slow to transition to wind and solar energy and all electric vehicles. Wind and solar energy do not need to be imported and can be produced locally in any country. Europe needs to provide incentives for homes and businesses to install electric heat pumps and get rid of old polluting gas and oil boilers. The move to electric vehicles will also be sped up. There is no good reason to help fund Putin's war by buying oil, gas and coal from Russia. There is a Climate Crisis making weather events more extreme. Time to switch to renewable energy. The future is renewables. They are safer, cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. It is time for governments to end fossil fuels industry subsidies.

  3. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. Individuals, politicians, governments and corporations all need to do more to protect the planet from climate change. Individuals, financial institutions, banks, pension funds, universities and insurance companies must divest from fossil fuels. ESG investing is growing. Do your part. Join in and speak up for the future of the planet. Ask your company or financial institution to divest from fossil fuels. Wind and solar energy combined with battery storage are safer, cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels. An all electric vehicle is better than a polluting petrol or diesel vehicle. The cost of dealing with the impact of Climate Change will be much greater than the cost of dealing with the cause.
