The Earth can no longer afford to support us in the way that we have been living. There is no alternative.

Re: Climate change and OFGEN plan
Just wanted to add that changing a combi boiler from a gas one to an electric one, doesn't necessarily mean that the pipe work becomes redundant. The water in the radiators can still be heated electrically. These boilers are already available and often used in electric only properties such as park homes.05-02-2020, 01:05 PM

Solar power, nuclear power, wave power and so on.
It all comes down to the three P's.
What is possible, what is practical and what is probable.

Then there's the question of log burners and Agas, which are very popular at the moment. In the Winter, the air is thick with fumes around here but no one seems to me mentioning these things which are the 4x4s of the heating world.
