I can't help think that these mandates are being made by people who are out of touch with everyday people.

- simpleguitar 5y agoSo everyday people don't want to fight climate change? I know some do.
- linksnapzz 5y agoThey might want to, but can they afford to?
- noneeeed 5y agoDefinitely. As a smallish mid terrace, our house has very little exterior wall space that isn’t already taken up with doors and windows. Air source heat pumps are being pushed by people with well insulated semi or fully detached houses with space for a tank and who have the cash to splash on the work that would be needed to replace a compact combi boiler. If someone can work out a more compact system that could perhaps go in our loft then that might work, but that would probably require roofing work to accommodate the largish ducting that you would need. I’m all in favour of decarbonising, but it needs to take into account how mostbof is actually live. For example, I’d love an electric car, but we don’t have off street parking, so can’t guarantee charging up overnight.
