The Prime Minister now
is thinking the timetable is wrong.



Green transition?
No who the hell can afford 12K?

…how can the timetable ever be right to subsidise those high costs in grant funding/help…I mean, it just won’t, will it….it’s not a ‘timetable’ issue, it’s just totally unrealistic…not just with the cost but because there isn’t the land space either …?….our government are just filled with hot air…oh wait, no they aren’t is the point because it’s unaffordable as it stands under any timetable…

Of course, it's a Timetable
Johnson has set it Early,
now he learns there is no funding
to help the Public.


The Labour party need to set out a better plan.

…it’s not just the funding per household…it’s the depth of the underground digging as well and the cost of that and the spaces to be able to do it nationwide…?…

the price is on the way down though. What's more of a concern though is that many heating engineers are not taking up their gas approval certificate now that its on the way out, so as time goes by, there will be less people qualified to repair gas boilers, which means that cost will go up forcing people to go the electric route to solve the problem

So this will make someone very rich

Instead of heating homes buildings heat the people in it

Design clothing that keeps people warm, space age fabric

Save money save the planet,
