From “The Heat Pumps Save Money Department”

A couple who installed a heat pump in order to save money say they have been left with a faulty system and their bills have more than quadrupled.

Geoffrey and Julie Cox claim their bills have risen from £140 a month to more than £1,000 since the air source heat pump was put in and it does not heat their home.

The Chesterfield couple are among others who have had similar issues with a system fitted by Sheffield’s Greener Living Ltd, which received money under a government scheme before going into administration last March.

Currently wind is providing just 2% of Britain’s electricity:

Even if the idiot Miliband triples wind capacity, that still only makes 6%.

So where does he suggest we get the other 94%

Proof that the climate agenda was never really about climate:

From the Telegraph:

Climate change can be used to teach children about race, a national curriculum review has been told.

Global warming should be used to allow teachers and pupils to “explore conversations about race”, according to the Runnymede Trust.

The race equality think tank told a review into the curriculum commissioned by Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, that such discussions would allow pupils to discuss more openly the impact of race on them and its relationship to “wider society”.

One aspect of the trust’s recommendations is thought to be aimed at encouraging teachers to throw light on the unequal impact of climate change on different groups in society, such as in developing countries.

Its recommendation states: “Subjects such as English and history, as well as discussions of climate change in science, should offer students the opportunity to explore conversations surrounding race and its relationship to wider society, as opposed to stifling students and teachers in the expression of opinion surrounding these themes.”

The price of fitting an air-source heat pump increased by 33pc, from £9,686 to £12,951 in the six years to January 2025, according to Telegraph analysis of data from the trade standards body, MCS. This is hardly going to encourage many to change from gas to heat pumps, so what form of persuasion will they try next?
