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.


Be reasonable. A few decades ago, who would have believed wed have a
deranged 16 year old preaching to the UN.

After all, when the Nazis used their pig tailed brats to preach their
propaganda we were disgusted.

Nor should we forget the Nazis were a Socialist party and it is the left
who are abusing the Swedish girl now.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and
from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
