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?

    Well a valueable source of energy for use of fuel might be our corpses.

    Personally, when I`ve gone I don`t care what`s done with my remains so donate my bits to anyone that might have use for them has always been my motto. No longer of any use to me but I`d be happy if they could be use to someone or society as a whole. Not just as replacement organs (if possible) but as pigswill or fuel or whatever. Just make sure I am not recoverable first please.

    Soylent Green anyone?


    If we can make use of tech to reduce emissions and aim for zero then great, but pie in the sky unless we update our electrical infrastructure and that would take time and money (and make emissions!).

    Our planet is warming and we can not stop it - but we can make it worse or better if we choose to. At best we will allow a few more generations of human life before extinction if we choose to. Unless we`ve annhialeted each other before that happens
