In theory, there is no real reasonÂ* for theÂ* ban, as for the

It's a lot easier and cheaper for the gas transporters to sell bulk
gas to a power station than to have to pipe up lots of new housing
estates and have retail sales involved in the supply chain.

The electricity retailers will be happy as they'll be able to pass on
the generation costs through smart meters.

We'll pick up the bill as usual.

62% if you are lucky. A condensing boiler is more like 90% (If heat is
what you want and you are comparing it with a resistive electric heater).


Is it really 90% or is that based on the same thing as Volkswagen figures?
