@KayBurley Lack of road maintenance causes potholes. Water gets in, freezes. Surface breaks up. Absolutely no relation to the type of car. Trucks tend to cause more wear and tear than passenger cars. But thats the point - if roads are well made and maintained then no potholes.

Big step today - British Gas came and removed our Gas Meter! So no more standing charge. It was a pretty straightforward and free thing to get done. There is still a gas supply but it's not usable. If we want to get the supply removed totally that's a transco job and £1000.

Heat Pumps are being rolled out in place of combustion boilers because they have zero carbon emissions at point of use, also no particulate and nox emissions. They also use much less electricity than direct electric heating. That’s all I wanted to explain.

@juneslater17 Whether a heat pump works has absolutely nothing to do with the building. It has everything to do with the heating system and what power is needed to match the heat loss overall and per room. The heat pump has no knowledge of whether it is heating a barn or a flat.

@TiceRichard @TalkTV You don’t understand what net zero means. The energy prices are set by the wholesale price of gas, not renewables. So the bills are high because of fossil fuels and that has been driven by the conflict in Ukraine and threat of restrictions on supply of gas. Which is fossil fuel.

@MarkieA999901 @DaleVince Swapping some radiators out for double panel convectors isn’t ‘ripping homes to bits’ and the heat pump simply connects to the existing boiler primary pipes and lives outside. May need to add a cylinder or heat battery for stored hot water. Not a big deal either.
