Gas hobs still allowed, so maybe a little creative thinking needed to use one for heating as well! Presume oil already off or also off the list?
Will make house battery storage units such as the T***a  Powerwall more popular. I know someone who already has them installed, and together with solar panels and ‘heat recovery’ heating, they are almost self sufficient at times.
I would love the opportunity and money to build a new home with all the latest energy saving technology built in. One day......  |
How much more would a triple glazed fully "sealed" but correctly filtered and fresh air circulated home actually cost and what would be the payback period?
Likewise the Solar Panel and Powerwalled properties - what is the payback period with all incentive payments removed? Over what period does the installation 'recover' its initial ecologically damaging production activities.
Once such installations become mainstream (if that can ever happen - not sure the wider economics stack up at all) how much will people need to pay for on-demand electricity when "renewable" resources are unable to deliver?
What facilities will there be to deliver the "on demand" supply?
