Maybe reality of some "green" initiatives is hitting home.
For example I use 20,000KWH (equivalent ) of Gas to heat my house each year, earlier this month the price my supplier was prepared to pay me for excess electricity hit £1.20 a unit, because there had been a couple of dull still days so very little coming from renewables.
Unless something happens this will be a permanent issue in the winter, so for me a heat pump using say 8,000 KWH a year to heat my home would be a nightmare if the prices are going to be higher in the winter.
Also a comment on another forum from a UK Tesla owner that charging his car overnight, the car took 50KWH from the grid, 25KW went to the battery, the other 25KW was used to heat the batteries to the ideal temperature to charge !
so perhaps people are getting wise to some of the downsides.
