Which is always the problem when you ignore the negative externalities. One would hope those externalities might start to be internalised to the cost of burning fossil fuels for heat, then heat pumps might become a better prospect.
(Tbh, I recently did a high level analysis of a heat pump in a temperate climate, and in light of climbing fuel bills and the potential for low price electricity from renewables at low demand plus batteries, heat pumps start to make a lot of sense. You need to think about using them differently to gas though)
- bialpio 4y agoI think it also ignores the fact that one of the big energy suppliers entered a war of territorial expansion and it may take a while until it's business as usual - I'd expect this to also affect energy prices.
- hgomersall 4y agoIs this a US thing? Please elaborate...
- happyopossum 4y agoThink it’s pretty clear he’s talking about Russia.
- hgomersall 4y agoWhoops, yes! Evening responses are not my most alert time!
