Fuck fossil fuels.

    I don’t understand why any of these factors, none of which seems specific for the UK but instead applicable to the entire EU, would make heat pumps more expensive in the UK compared to the EU.

      AFAIK they’re really expensive in Germany because of how they’re subsidised.

        Aka… they’re purposely overpriced because “free government money” brings the price back to what it would be, theoretically. Ain’t capitalism grand?
