Default Green Revolution: Electric Heat Pumps are not as good as Gas

Stated on BBC's Dateline today
Justin Rowlatt chief environment correspondent.

Dateline is shown again tomorrow on BBCnewsHD

He said Gas Central Heating
is efficient, but the Electric Heat Pumps
are not as good.

This is Pathetic
Boris Johnson - No Plan.

I'm pretty sure we've known that GCH is better than electric since like... ... when central heating was invented? . It's literally a selling point for estate agents. And something my sister complains about; she lives on an island, they do not have ANY mains gas on the island so heating is either electric (expensive) or from an oil tank in your garden (somewhat inconvenient).

That said, electric does become more efficient and cheaper over time (generally).

Electric may become more cheaper
in the Future,

But this failed alternative (Electric Heat Pumps)
is what The Conservatives are pushing today.

we are pushing electric vehicles that can't do london to manchester without a re-charge too. It's not the point. Innovation and improvement happen when a way forward is decided. It's not like the majority of the population have moved away from gas already

But electric won't end up killing the planet faster, so swings and roundabouts.
