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.
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
alistair Tory Boy not giving a fuck. Standard.
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.
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.
alistair it’s far from repressed.
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
Lollers. Add to the list.
The air here is 95% smoke again, basically impossible to go outside to do anything. One of the russian olive trees in my yard is so stressed it’s dropping leaves.
