The Climate Change Thread
Amps
Miss my own car, but was essentially an expensive golf taxi and easy option.
I also miss my old club, but again an extravagance that wasn’t a particularly great choice on quite a few levels.
On the plus side, wife loves her upgrade. She uses the new one 95% of the time and I pay for 70% of it
Can’t remember if we already did this one:
Make swift bricks compulsory in new housing to help red-listed birds
Remember to confirm your email etc.
How do so many threads become an Amps-MC golf discussion nowadays?

My favourite discussion?
Airport lounges.
Helsinki still had a coal burning plant in the middle of the city. The green party started to lobby for it’s closing 10 years, and were met with arguments that it’s impossible. It closed today.

Homegrove Its amazing how much the UK uses gas to generate electricity, almost 43% fossil fuels over the last year
What is worse, coal or gas for emissions?
We are also seeing home gas boilers due to be outlawed due to emissions to use air source heat pumps which use electricity, but hang on, almost half of our electricity is generated by….burning gas
I am surprised how low our generation by nuclear technology is, I’m glad we are at least trying to expand this capability
Also, we’d be fooked without wind generation, we are very lucky to have lots of coastline with plenty of wind.
The question is, how are other countries without this natural advantage looking to achieve net zero? For example Germany?
Hursty we have an air pump. We heat our whole house with it when it’s over -5 C outside. When it dips below that we open a few radiators, which are heated with oil, same as our hot water. There are air pump-systems powerful enough to replace our oik furnace too, but they cost about 10K so we’re still saving money for it. We’re in no rush, as we only go through about 1000 litres of heating oil per year.
