Heat pumps are OK for new builds but for many existing dwelling they are problematic. Replacing all existing gas boilers with them is frankly for the birds. Should be more work into exploring bio-gas solutions...

Fair dos, minimum on the EPC grade C by 2025. I wasn't aware of that. Maybe offer owners occupiers a council tax rebate a rebate for hitting it also

Even Tories like Andrea Leadsom admitted recently that insulation is low hanging fruit. We should have started a big push on this months ago. Topping up loft insulation and cavity walls where possible would be a good start. It should be illegal to rent a property unless it meets a minimum...

Great whataboutary thread Meanwhile, nothing from the government on insulation. That would hurt the profits of the fossil fuel companies, too many vested interests.

Meanwhile back here nothing from the Vote Leave cabal on help with insulation, this despite on ongoing fuel crisis The worse government at the worst time

Have little sympathy for the Katie Price impersonator As time goes on Insulate Britain's cause will be vindicated, utility bills about about to surge again. This could be the last winter with relatively cheap power folks, the cap will be lifted soon

What happened to UK government's Green Homes Grant scheme? Seems like no replacement for it, poor...

Any Brexit benefits please expand and put on the Brexit thread. To date all we're had was is a VAT reduction on tampons and something about pork exports to China, so this news would be welcome especially as UK left the EU with a no deal on services..

The Vote Leave Government don't need to put barriers across roads, they're too busy putting up barriers on trade

I don't see any issue with a leaky house which is less efficient than it could be missing out on a tax breaks. We have EPC's for houses but we don't use them for anything, why not use them to green up our housing stock? We have something similar with VFD on cars albeit is relation to Co2...

People should not underestimate this. Compare the climate on London and Stanley (Falkland Islands), both 51 degrees from the equator, the latter is a full 6c colder. Anyone fancy 14c in July?

Well average can always become better than average, we and other countries have far from exhausted the options to better insulate our homes. Homeowners and landlords need to be rewarded through the tax system to improve efficiency. If you meet your potential on your EPC there should be...

This individual you could argue engages in hypocrisy, but frankly that sideshow isn't really important, lazy tabloid hack stuff We have some of the most leaky housing stock in Europe and there needs to be more incentives from the government to get things up to standard, its saves money, it...

Love some of the articles from Non-Dom papers, it took 3 of them to write this one... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10214365/Insulate-Britain-eco-zealot-goes-HUNGER-STRIKE-jailed-roadblocking-protest.html

79 years old, someone is taking a stand for her grandkids Meanwhile, what is the government doing about insulation? Not enough...

Be interesting to see if we get any meat on the bones this week at the Tory party conference on their net zero plans. So far a lot of the usual rhetoric and not much action. I notice they banned the CEO of the UK's largest Renewable energy supplier from entry in Manchester, clearly don't want...

He doesn't care, he has a letter from the Department of Transport offering him a position as an HGV driver....

Hey Ppf it could be worse, imagine if the protesters were foreign, not white or both?

Insulate Britain protests are purely symbolic to drive publicity. Still no match for Vote Leave in creating chaos...
