BBC gushing with positivity about the Tories plan to offer a £5k grant for heat pumps. One “little” detail they don’t mention: 22 million gas boilers to be replaced. The grant will fund 30,000 boilers a year. Replacement would take 733 years.

@D_Raval @nicky_NoPasaran Disadvantages of Heat Pumps are: High upfront cost. Difficult to install. Questionable Sustainability. Requires significant work. Issues in cold weather. Not entirely carbon neutral. Planning permissions required. No mention of the noise they make when switched on.
@hawkins_carole @D_Raval @nicky_NoPasaran That is huge, I have nowhere to put something that big, and nor do many 1 and 2 bed homes, we are shoe horned into tight spaces.
