you are right we still need fossil fuels and will do for a while whilst we transition from fossil fuels to renewables but the governments have zero joined up thinking and are making that transition harder than it needs to be. mind you is it any surprise when you see how the services they run like the nhs, moj etc are useless.
our house, from memory is a similar size to 1984’s, and 90 years old. the plumber ****ed up the grant and we have just found out the cavity wall insulation, fitted in 2002 before we bought the house, was virtually non existent and is being replaced under guarantee next week.
1984 and other sceptics will believe all the rubbish they read saying electrification is a dead duck but it is progressing and will on,y speed up imv.
1984 won’t like this but the savings on fuel, heating etc are huge if you make the effort and can be done on a fraction of the cost we have spent.
our fuel saving alone on diesel are £6k a year and we have added a vehicle since those costs 4 years ago and diesel has increased 25% over that time.
