How will it be enforced? You build a house and have a gas cooker
installed. You don't install a boiler. When the planners etc have all
****ed off you install a gas boiler.

What will the approved alternatives be? Surely not oil! Electric will be
far too expensive.

Basically the greenies are trying to take us back to the stone age.

Well sfb it's very simple. In the end there will be no public distribution of gas, it will be going to highly efficient power stations.
(There's no point anyway in having gas to your house for a gas cooker alone.)
Gas boilers will be no longer for sale.
Homes will be heated using heat pumps. As are quite a few around already I notice.
And they will have much higher standards of insulation.
