Never mind the EVCPs, what about the boilers.

Chris Pearson
Apparently gas boilers should be banned from 2025.


At the moment, well under 10% of our energy is supplied by electricity: it is mostly gas. Use of an electric vehicle could double our leccy consumption, which would be bad enough; but (a) trebling the cost of our energy would be painful, and (b) how would the network and generation cope?

    In my view the current Building Standards are not adequate with regards to insulation and poor build quality make them even worse. A friend did some work on a relatively new house and found a wall with no insulation in it, he complained to the developers who replied someone must have stolen it after it was built!


    If we are to achieve a reduction in power usage we must insulated our old housing stock, which is very expensive, and build new houses to an adequate standard. Unfortunately the various government schemes devised to improve insulation appear to be ill-conceived  opportunities for the scammer to make money.


    Never mind:  Hydrogen, wind mills and solar power will sort it all out.
