[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 7860205, member: 37168"] Our power has been out since 5pm Friday, estimated that will be back by 6pm tonight, but not holding our breath, there’s a lot of damage. Our house is old, draughty, inefficient insulation, single glazed windows, heated by a mixture of oil and wood. Everything about it is a black mark regarding Net Zero. However, in the absence of electricity, the only thing we are without is the tv. Solar garden lights charge up through the day, old gravity fed kerosene Esse heating the water, kitchen and does half a job at cooking. 2 log burners with a bit of imagination can operate as hot plates, grills and ovens. We’re fine. Sister lives in a new build, top whack insulation, efficient boiler, storage heaters, but there’s no electricity so NOTHING works, no cooking, heating, washing. If the storm hit during a period of sub zero temps, a lot of people would be in a bit of trouble as their entire infrastructure failed. Is the negativity towards oil and now log burners as well, combined with the push towards heat pumps and renewable energy powered house entirely wise when an 8hr storm can turn it all off? [/QUOTE]
