zackster Trump did the best air. Nobody did air like him. Lots of people were saying it. Some said it was the best air in America, maybe the best of all time.

Good news if this takes off for reducing methane emissions. Its taken a while to get the prices down but seems like they are close now

Not a surprise. Was looking round whilst out and about yesterday and nobody seems to give a fuck.

No meaningful incentives to do so either, despite recent energy issues.

Take vehicles -most of the new vehicles I saw yesterday weren’t ev’s. Our neighbour wanted one but ended up buying diesel because they couldn’t afford the price point for the size of car they needed.

Depressing, starting to get into Amos mode with people buying new petrol/diesel cars.

Mad_Cyril MC channeling William “D-Fens” Foster in Falling Down reboot. You love to see it

Mad_Cyril They want the planet to burn, they’ve just bought all the land in the places that will survive. the ultimate disaster capitalism, the greatest dip they will ever buy, the plot from Superman (1978) on the grandest scale. The cunts.

Along_the_Wire

alistair Tory Boy not giving a fuck. Standard.

Hursty

My mate just had a heat pump installed, it cost him £6k on top of the grant, this is just isn’t feasible for many

Also not convinced the technology is the silver bullet for heating homes

I’m sticking with gas and jumping on the Octopus Tracker from next month which has been at 4p per kWh since Jan

Homegrove

Hursty if the heat pumps work in Finland they sure as fuck will work in the UK too.

Millsy

Hursty are octopus accepting new customers? I want to fuck Scottish power right off. Cunts

Mad_Cyril

Homegrove
You have one HG?

Seriously considering

Hursty

Homegrove I’m not disputing that, I think they have more improvements to come and the price to come down to be feasible for many in the UK

We also burn gas to generate electricity here in the UK alongside renewables, at the moment unfortunately it’s the most cost effective to heat your home doing the same

alistair

Along_the_Wire Have you got Tourettes? It’s meant to be light hearted. God knows why you insist on jumping on every post. Take out your repressed anger on something else.

Homegrove

Mad_Cyril yeah, and just one but it’s the sole source of heat for our small (83 squate meters) house for most of the winter. When it dips below -5 degrees celcius we open radiators in our living room. The radiators and our warm water still gets heated with oil, but we don’t really need it to heat our house, we go through about 1000 litres a year. Otherwise the heat gets pretty evenly distributed with the heat pump.

Hursty

Millsy yes and they are opening the tracker up to 50,000 new customers on July 1st

Along_the_Wire

alistair it’s far from repressed.

Is the boat/booth seaworthy?

Amps

Mad_Cyril I’m gonna say tentative ‘yes’, but it’ll need a lot of gaffa, bubble gum and a ‘can do’ attitude. We sail at dawn!

Mad_Cyril

Amps We sail at dawn!

Yarrrrr. That’s the spirit.

Only 7 weeks until we see @Homegrove in 🇫🇮
