£9bn due to not having built more cheap onshore wind, £5bn due to poorly insulated homes, £5bn due to low solar deployment, £3bn because new homes were built less efficient.
Having lived in Australia and New Zealand and spent time in Chicago. British houses are horseshit.
Don’t even need heating in standard UK temps if the building is insulated. Air to air heat pumps are amazing, induction is amazing, no issues with electric water heaters.
Living in fucking 1975. But everyone’s ideal is trying to upgrade to a 1850 wood burning stove. Buy a fucking heat pump and some insulation.

Another incredibly frustrating thing for me is the amount of regular people adamantly against any green energy being built near them. Which basically means no where in the country.
Would these people prefer an coal plant??

That’s the right wing media for you. I don’t have them blocked in my newsfeed so I can see what they are up to and it is a completely different world - pretty much anything green gets hammered.

Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.

We need to start calling it blue, not green.

My reply to them is: “Would you prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, or some turbines/solar fields?”
