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 Is that what they look like? I'd struggle to accommodate something that size.
@nicky_NoPasaran @D_Raval The amount of work to be done installing and no hot water either apparently as govt mentioned communal water supplies.
@hawkins_carole @D_Raval Communal water supplies? I've got a lot of reading to do 🥴
