Sunak to drop heat pump targets in fresh retreat from Net Zero
Sunak to drop heat pump targets in fresh retreat from Net Zero
Government set to reverse plan to fine boiler makers for missing green production quotas
You're viewing a single thread.
The new system set to launch in April would force big boiler companies to ensure heat pumps account for 4 per cent of their total boiler unit sales, or be penalised £3,000 for every item by which they fall short.
sounds like something from the Politburo
Construction requirements widely used in capitalist societies too
Planning economic output, without consideration of efficient markets, sounds like a Soviet five year plan
I'll note it was done by the Tories
I'm an American living in the heartland. How many is that in Fahrenheit? That is, do Tories like government control of economic output/means of production?
Lol they're the right-wing party.
Well that might explain why this Mr. Tory Sunak is dropping this policy. Traditionally, the right-wing are fervent anti-communists
It'sore that they proposed it and then dropped it because it didn't have the grift in it for them. Communists not involved.
Plus the boiler manufacturers were just upping their costs to cover the fines.
A combi boiler has a lot of convenience, it's cheap, and it's cheap to run.
I'm sure a great pump is great in a property designed for it, but retrofitting one is not viable for most.
