Finally some sense

Battery storage is going to be massively important as part of the energy mix yes. Your example is a good one.

Isn’t the octopus cheaper 4 hour rate for EVs only though? Thought you had to prove you had an EV and a 7kw charger to get it.

Heat pumps spot on. This is why they will only make sense for new builds and or legacy properties that are sufficiently insulated.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Jesus wept. How drunk are you exactly?

Let me repeat what I said for you

‘Legacy properties that are sufficiently insulated’

ie those that have been renovated to the appropriate standard (of which there are plenty), or newer properties in the 10-20 years old range (of which there are plenty) that also conform to the standard.

Also your point regarding underfloor being impractical only applies if you are not already renovating and extending a property. Otherwise it’s a no brainer. More throwaway dross

As already stated, banning gas boilers is for the birds. Everyone else who can’t move to heat pumps will remain on gas (or convert to electric at the point of energy becoming cheaper towards the end of the transition) for many many years to come, the remainder will be upgraded or renovated up to standard over time.

It helps to read the context of a thread before posting.

Europe seems plagued with an outbreak of arsonists, is that due to carbon emissions affecting behaviour? Same problem not prevalent in India or China.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

The proximate cause of many of the fires is arson is my point.

The main sources of carbon emissions are China, India and the USA.

The Yosemite park fire was caused by a recently convicted arsonist so in that case a main emitter did have a serious arson.

My post was not meant to be taken verbatim but as an observation on the difference between climatic effect facts and climatic effect fiction.

Of course hot and dry conditions effect the spread of fire as they have done since the first fire .

Hairy Scottish Historian Neil Oliver. He seems to think the whole 'Climate Emergency' is little more than a blatant Power-grab from the Elites.
However, like any good academic.....he is willing to listen to stop shrieking and to listen to both sides of the argument.

And most of the time his arguments are well couched in History.

Dinosaurs once wandered lush tropical lands that are now a frozen tundra. Climate change is a normal part of History.

The Netherlands of Peter Bruegal paintings is a frozen World compared to the Netherlands of today. The Amstel & the Thames used to freeze over.

We can all agree the Climate is changing. We cannot agree on it being the end of the World.
