[QUOTE="Farfrae, post: 7857467, member: 778"] As pointed out air/ground source heat pumps only make sense in very well insulated houses with under floor heating or oversized radiators because of the lower water temperature. I'm sure that they have their place. But their place is not in the vast majority of the UK housing stock just as (in my humble opinion) electric vehicles are never going to be a solution for anything other than urbanites 'tootling' to the supermarket for their weekly shop. The concept of air source heat pumps heating most houses in the UK or an electric 4x4 utility vehicles pulling a full Ivor Williams stock trailer across a field in a winter like 1962 leaves me shaking my head in disbelief. Neither will work IMHO. I'm sure it's not popular in green circles to point out the bindingly obvious. The big mistake was 'pissing the North Sea Oil bounty up the wall'. Just imagine if then we had started using a percentage of that wealth to start insulating properties back in the 1970's and also built up a sovereign weath fund like Norway did. As usual everything is short term with no proper planning and the current 'green nonsense' is all being engineered as part of the 4th Industrial Revolution (i.e. another way for a lot of people to make a lot of money off the green agenda as many of the traditional industries are no longer profitable). Ain't going to bother me too much as I don't have that many years left but I fear we are leaving a mighty mess for our grand children. [/QUOTE]
