I'll follow up my last thread with the sudden emphasis today of the UK govt's "green"(?)commitment to phase out the use of gas boilers by the year 2035. An absolute lack of true ambition (we are in the midst of a global climate crisis!!) and "sticking plaster" policies being mooted again. Then a figure of £420M of UK govt money committed to grants for mass conversion to heat pump technology??? This is a miniscule contribution to seriously accommodate a national provision and the practical awareness of providing this kinda conversion, esp to poorer families, is greatly lacking! No mention of a bigger push towards insulating homes to a high specification and subsequent huge savings in energy provision per capita as well as ensuring homes are more comfortable for families to inhabit.
