Wonder if that actually reduces the amount of fossil based CO2

Each conversion has losses. What COP do the heat pumps *have* to
achieve to overcome the losses in the power station and grid compared
to say an 80% effcient domestic boiler?

Not a lot really.

ccgt is around 50% gas to 13A socket.

even 2:1 on an air source will work better

AND they are all 'nuclear ready'

the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
