Government and gas-focused industry body resist conclusion that heat pumps are ‘only viable’ option for heating UK homes
Yeah that's stupid. We won't have a abundance of hydrogen, or extra energy to burn for years to come. This hydrogen boiler thing is just a measure to stay on fossils for longer, because certain models will have problems with it and there won't be enough hydrogen available. Which means oil companies will benefit.
Renewables are peaky, how do you propose we smooth those peaks? Hydrogen or batteries seem the only two viable options for energy storage.
Plus you can make ammonia from renewables for use as a ship fuel or fertilizer
Btw energy companies are the ones with the capital to fund the transition off fossil fuels, how else do you propose funding it?
