We are short of about 4 million homes.
The government can easily make most of them eco homes.

But would people buy them?

They would have no choice and 99%
of people would love an eco house.

That's an awfully big assumption

No observations on life and people and eco homes.



Are you proposing legislation to enforce
that as well?

We need to cut CO2 emissions.

Fine.


And also any
extension can also be eco.

It can be.

Then there is the conservatories which are heated
and burn fuel like crazy.

That's an overstatement.

It is not. Compare a conservatory to a superinsulated extension.

I wasn't - I was comparing it to a
conventional house which is what
most people have.

Selective comparisons eh, to back a ridiculous stance.

You seem to advocate large glass areas
as part of an eco house on the
argument of solar gain. At least be consistent.

You obviously know nothing of passive solar.

I know enough not to be hoodwinked by your BS.

You obviously know nothing of passive solar.

Conservatories can range from cheap to more expensive than an
extension.. They also largely avoid bureaucracy. There's a clue
there as well.

The clue is they as responsible for an amazingly unnecessary amount of CO2
being emitted and reduction of fuel reserves too, because they have
virtually no insulation value.
