BBC Celebrates Sales Of Heat Pumps Rising From Near Zero To Near Zero!
What is it about the BBC’s climate reporters? They seem to live in their own little bubble, oblivious to what is going on in the real world!
You’d think from reading this that people are queuing up to but heat pumps and EVs.
Last year, according to official government statistics, just 41,723 air heat pumps were installed in the UK using government support schemes, such as the £7500 bung via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
That’s just 0.15 percent of UK homes. It would take 650 years to get every home in the country fitted with a heat pump at that rate!
As for EVs, only one-in-ten private buyers are going electric, despite avoidance of driving taxes.
The ‘renewable’ lobbyist, Emma Pinchbeck, thinks that demand for this wonderful “clean” technology is suppressed because the cost of producing electricity from ‘renewables’ is so high.
Has it not occurred to her that once the subsidies for heat pumps and EVs are gone, a slightly lower electricity price will not make the slightest difference!

Editor’s note: the BBC is like the Guardian and other alarmist rags, full of ‘scientists say’ without naming them, or saying where their information comes from. Information that is almost always contradicted by actual data, and this case is a perfect example.

Future technology so wonderful that without government subsidies (more like unsolicited taxpayer grants) it would blow away like tumbleweed.

The bbc are the propaganda arm of the govt. Did you see the video by Neil Oliver on GBNews about using lessons learned (coercion and falsity) during covid to push the net zero agenda harder? The bbc will be at the centre of that too.
