    Don’t you love it when you get heavily downvoted but no-one is brave enough to challenge your point of view?

    I mostly agree with you. Solar is good if you own a house, with a roof and have thousands in disposable cash to invest, but that’s not most people.

    Heat pumps can’t be run on your solar power alone and if your house isn’t well insulated, they can be extremely inefficient, ending up costing you substantially more than sticking with gas or oil. And that’s not getting in to the other short comings of heat pumps which I believe is a separate debate.

    As many people in this thread have said, the best time to invest in nuclear was thirty years ago, but the next best time is now. Give us tonnes of cheap, carbon free electricity to throw in to a heat pump and then they make sense.

      That usually happens when you call a lot of people brainwashed. I don’t engage with it anymore.

          Is it hard to understand the context of my comment? It replies to your first paragraph.
