@OctopusEnergy Unfortunately the changeover is too expensive for most. It’s not just the heat pump it’s the over sized radiators, the additional insulation, I really don’t think they will work on older properties. New builds definitely but not retrofit
@SamAndreetti The UK Green Party are just hard-left radicals hiding behind a houseplant. Strip away the eco-friendly branding and you've got classic state control, sky-high taxes, and economic ruin. Watermelons: green on the outside, red to the core. 🍉
@donmcgowan Great logic: let's shut down UK production, export our energy jobs to foreign countries with worse environmental standards, pay triple for shipped LNG, and pat ourselves on the back for 'saving the planet' while total global emissions actually go up. Elite-tier climate policy
@donmcgowan The Climate Change Committee (CCC) explicitly acknowledges that gas will remain part of the UK energy mix through the net-zero transition up to 2050. The real choice isn't "gas vs. no gas"—it's British gas vs. imported foreign gas.
@ZackPolanski Until we are a zero-carbon economy, we still need oil and gas. Local extraction is cleaner than shipping it worldwide just to look "green" on paper.
