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 Why don't they make their builder friends install them in new builds from now ?
@pensionater @D_Raval Saw a video of a heating engineer ranting about how useless they were - yet they work in sub zero temperatures in Finland. His reason? British homes have the worst insulation standards in Europe and leak heat like a seive! Most new homes are too shoddily built to use them.
@Schopen @pensionater @D_Raval Plus Flats and smaller houses (2 up 2 down) there is no where to site them.... money (if you are only going to be cheapskates) would be better spent on insolation ... and improving legislation re new builds
