Thrilled to see our work in the NYT on heat pumps in cold climates.

Key facts:
- <0°C, heat pumps remain far more efficient than fossil/resistive heat.
- In most of Europe (rarely < −10°C), COPs stay strong.
- Even near −30°C, up to 2× resistive (less data).

Tell me what are these other options you talk about Mr and Mrs Retirement Incomer?

Yes, the "somewhere else" options.

......but of course can be solved by "car parks". Hmmmm, no irony there.

Ha!

Aberdeenshire farmers love their solar, good bit of steady income, when farming in general is completely in the lap of weather gods and/or politicians.

.......I speak as a absolutely definitely non-farmer!

Yes approved and R3form councillor is spitting British feathers not wanting those good jobs on his "prime agricultural land".

R3form local councillor doesn't want good well paid jobs in his patch and claims solar to be built on "high quality agricultural land".

Over 90% of solar farm will be on "moderate" Grade 3b land which is primarily used for animal grazing or winter fodder.

Why are housing costs in UK so high, perhaps it is the lack of local authority housing? And we all know who caused that.

Still we are all rich with our British Gas and British Telecom shares aren't we Sid?

It is may be 3x average pay but 62% tax rate on earnings over £100,000 and cliff edge removal of childcare subsidies limit aspirations of upper middle classes bit.ly/49arr4e misleading to call it ‘working hard’ not ‘being lucky and clever’. Many work very hard on £12.21/hour 48 hours a week or more
