With solar , make sure that you have capacity for storage above 300% what the system generates...The reason for this is that the power companies payment for you to sell your excess generated power is around 3p per kw , whilst they charge you a lot lot more the other way round ....it's just not worth the sale , but it's financially better to just store it and use it for yourself

A good point. Recent unit costs are 30-34p so the costs of storage capacity become far more justifiable. Another restriction that we came up with living where we do is the capacity of our local system to take any excess power generated. Of course that becomes redundant if storage facility is high enough.

A further point re insulation came to mind when driving and listening to Jeremy Vine phone in on this very topic.

Worth some time catching up via BBC Sounds - it’s the first topic today.

Back to the thought that came to mind. An uninsulated house is like using a sieve for something you want to be watertight. It’s such a waste of time and money. Get the insulation maximised and there are grants still for this, I believe, although not sure to what extent. Any improvement is worthwhile.

Basically we're going all electric Steve. Heat pumps and electric heaters of all shapes and sizes. Sounds good in theory but lots of issues to be unpacked.  

On the subject of insulation - yes brilliant idea and very important to get the fabric of your house as energy efficient as possible.

There's an old Eskimo saying - 'if you want to keep your feet warm, wear a hat'.  So for starters, people need to turf out all their rubbish from the attic to enable insulation to be placed there - this is where most energy is lost. Then think carefully about wall insulation as this can go horribly wrong if it's not done properly. 

Another good tip -  reflective foil behind your radiator will prevent heat from seeping out through walls. I'm here all week. Smile

Draconian is right - it was passed in the Commons towards the end of 2022, and has been in the Lords where a number of amendments were made. The latest info. I managed to dig up on the Internet is in this piece , but there are other sources out there as well:

[/QUOTE] tbh i have no issues with people striking or protesting.  I still think these activisits need to be told that their efforts are doing the square root of sod all globally though, maybe they shoulf try direct action against the real mass polluters of greenhouse gases but they seem reluctant to . As for strikers the withdrawal of labour is a fundemtal hunan right imo

The Tory policy is perfectly simple - those wealthy types can do as much or as little work as they want, and quit when they like.

The rest - with any luck they'll die before they reach state pension age. Tough!
