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.

So currently we burn gas, recovering over 90% of the heat. Instead someone wants us to turn gas to electricity at around 40% efficiency and with the cost & ungreeness of building & running power stations, and use that to hear houses at 3 or 4 times the cost, and either use 2-2.5x as much gas to do so or drill holes in & freeze the local environment, affecting home grown food crops. You couldn't make it up.
