TV, computer (+internet), two lights, fridge freezer, digital thermometer, smart meter display, clock radio. Only problem is that a wind turbine would be absolutely crap in an urban environment. And it wouldn't power my heating/cooking needs.
SlashGearA 500-Watt wind turbine can't generate enough energy to run a whole house. Instead, you can run indoor lighting or appliances like refrigerators.

It's an interesting building in Southampton, next to the train station. Didn't know much about it. I always wondered who lived there and how it was used. Some parts look communal. youtu.be/EyCYVlU2t3w?...

Maybe @timwaskett.bsky.social can send in a 'complaint' to the BBC and explain air to air heat pumps to them and his experience with them.
Sustainable UsSo much bad information in this BBC report regarding air conditioning, i'm getting sick of it now. With the entrenched ignorance about heat pumps in this country it's looking really bad. Here's a link to the complaints page: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp... youtu.be/Voi6_BUc86c?...
IMO many people aren't understanding what Badenoch has said. From first principles and analysing what she understands of the science, then she is denying it, mainly because she hasn't confirmed carbon emissions role. As a result, all her policy statements make absolute sense in that context.
Sustainable UsA quick scan of Badenoch's opinion piece shows that her only carbon emission reduction policy is nuclear power. And i can't actually see where she connects carbon emissions to climate change. Climate change deniers can accept it's real, but deny it is carbon emissions that cause it.
