Heat pumps do work !! . They are not new ,they have been all over European cold countries for decades .

Absolutely agree , where is all the electrical energy going to come from ? we do not have the capacity for the extra electricity these heat pumps etc need as they need to be on 24 hours a day 365 days a year ! they do not work anyway , we need several sources of energy sources , Nuclear .

@@sfactory8253 ⁠ 😂😂😂 But the dire state of our energy and the fact that we have the most expensive electricity costs in the world IS the fault of both Labour and Tories!! It’s due to lack of investment over decades, the closing of all our coal fired power stations, the ban on fracking, the closing down of North Sea oil, and the lack of new nuclear plants, and the ludicrous belief that when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine we’ll still miraculously get energy from our renewables! The only thing renewable about wind and solar farms is that they have to be renewed every 15-20 years!🤬 And as for pension credits, it’s only available to pensioners with an income less than £9,500. The others, those on the full state pension of a massive £11,500 get nothing towards their heating!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 We have one of the lowest state pensions in Europe, and the highest electricity costs - higher even than Germany.

Heat pumps are a non starter if you need 7500 grant, the pumps are expensive, you need to fit a 6kw load socket for the pump ( cooker socket requires 2.5 kw), replace the radiators with large ones, lift the floorboards to install larger bore pipes, retro fit insulation a lot of insulation, install electric shower, immersion heating for a bath and big budget for redecorating after your home is torn apart to achieve this. You won't save any money on your electric bill and won't save the planet and you'll still be cold with a system you cannot afford to turn on and you need supplementary heating when it's really cold. You would save money just heating the room you're in one at a time or a couple of electric radiators, electric throw blankets on sofas and chairs lots of loose comfy layered clothing. If you can a wood burner for cold nights but heat pump only idiots would invest 30k on new central heating system. New builds are mandatory but doesn't suit people who are out all day working to pay a mortgage and want a responsive gas boiler to rapidly heat their homes when needed.

Well, that breaks the first and zeroth law of thermodynamics for a start.....You cannot create energy from nothing.. Gas boilers are 90% efficient at best but that is within the laws of physics and is acceptable....

[@ry491]

I saw that too . Do they think we are thick . What's next , perpetual motion .

[@milabaigar]

Cut .04 % of our emissions! Plant more c02 absorbers TREES ! Ffs

[@oliverplays9598]

Get the motor companies to design more efficient engines

[@Karen-wn6lu]

Its not just the elderly liveing in one room just to keep warm its effects lots of people from different backgrounds

[@luckysembry5508]

The sick and disabled should always have been given the £300 winter fuel allowance as they have a lot of conditions requiring them to keep warm, i. e. i have chronic renal failure necessitating dialysis.

[@sueday4131]

Heat Pumps are also noisy. Recently I went to view a small house the pump was in the garden and you could not be out there in peace whilst it was on.

[@JaneJones-lg3bd]

We had a home with a heat pump, and I will never own a home with a heat pump AGAIN! They suck!

[@Tisebb]

Many people may wonder what the legality is of VAT on the cost that includes tax?

[@manoo422]

No different to pump fuels, the govt dont care, just pay up.

[@DaveInver]

I live in the north of Scotland, its 2 degrees, at 1:30pm, in London its 7 degrees. The "standard" heat pump loses most efficiency under 5 degrees, you need to spend a small fortune to get a " cold climate" one. All the figures are based on "best" not actual performance. THEY DONT WORK!!

[@kevlacy5306]

Funny how they never talk about the corporate destruction of our planet,

[@paulukjames7799]

Yes so true

[@MartinParsons-tr6wi]

Mustn't interfere with consumerism

[@RicardoPetrazzi]

watching this at a 4pm on a very cold friday afternoon. Off to switch on my GAS CENTRAL HEATING COMBI BOILER. eff Miliband

[@clivemcquire7686]

Disgraceful. Kier Starmer should be made to listen to that poor lady. Shame on you LabCon.

[@davidbrown2571]

Criminals are better looked after in the uk than pensioners, despicable government.

[@JustTakeAMoment]

Ed Miliband, proof that a little knowledge is extremely dangerous. Good point made about either being ignorant on a subject and needing to take expert advice or being an absolute expert on the subject. Know it or get the hell out.

[@zandersthorn476]

This poor woman worked all her life and can't afford to stay warm whilst illegal immigrants enjoy cosy 4 star hotels with free food, dentistry and doctors plus spending money , televisions, mobile phones and so on. I am so angry and just lost for words. What will it take for this government to wake up and see what it is doing to it's own citizens. A curse on them all I say.

[@Tonyioswfc]

We'll have no net zero under Starmer, count on it

[@DougRutter]

Tories are also a disgrace on net zero, vote Reform UK😊

[@susanmills4843]

It’s a total con.

[@Tonyioswfc]

@susanmills4843 I agree same as Starmer is

[@CS-mo7xp]

until they outright ban cruise liners and Formula 1 then I can't believe they're even 'serious' about the alleged climate emergency.

[@mikeford1273]

If we all shout out together that Milliband is a know nothing Nudnik..will we get him to feck out of this ridiculous administration!!.

[@stevensymington2461]

Nine times cheaper. When is this going to filter through to our bills. Going green is 9 times more expensive in every which way but loose and the Government knows It.

[@oliverplays9598]

They don't pay for gas and electricity, very nice when your getting two properties paid for by the taxpayer's.

[@skfalpink123]

In Finland, on days of peak demand, the 1.5 million installed heat-pumps increase grid demand by 3GW. If we now imagine winters like the one in 2010 (where we were colder than Finland), the UK could be looking at a potential increase in grid demand of > 56GW. How much is 56GW? Well, right now UK demand is 43GW, with the Hornsea ONE offshore wind-farm (covering 300sq miles) generating 1.25GW. Meanwhile, the new Hinkley C reactor will (when it eventually comes on line) generate 3.2GW. So JUST to power ASHP during a severe winter, the UK would need an offshore wind farm covering 13,400sq miles, or 18 nuclear stations the size of Hinkley C. All of this is known, as is the fact that it is completely impossible for the UK to generate this amount of power before 2075, yet still the UK Civil Service pushes and promotes an absurd ideology that will see tens of thousands of people freeze and starve to death every year.

[@raptorheli2]

I want a vote on net zero, it's a bigger deal than brexit vote to me. These people have totally forgotten they are OUR SERVANTS, the power dynamic is totally reversed and for too long. NO ONE voted for net zero, the people may well want it but we need a vote on the pace. I am embarrassed to be here with the optics on we have money for anything, unless you need heating as a pensioner. It is scandalous the cost of our energy period.

[@diggershave3]

Yep we need a vote on everything this government does ,everything dont trust them with 1p !! Milliband must not be given a penny!!

[@raptorheli2]

@diggershave3 I want votes on anything that aren't easily reversible by next government or impacts everyone. At a minimum if it isn't in manifesto it shouldn't happen as a policy.

[@johncatto5019]

That summed it up pretty well, I am a pensioner and I have no heating on either. No to net zero.

[@onlybugwit]

Does Miliband REALLY think that he can control the planet?

[@Renegade1127]

Does Milliband really THINK. The rest of your question is not needed.

[@Sidney1WG]

So we all know that even if we achieved net zero, it will make a 1% difference to the planet. Did anyone see the article on the BBC about the smog in India? Visibilty was down to two metres. The images were quite shocking. So until countries like India and China get aboard with this net zero crap, there is absolutely no point in it. Our bills are already astronomically high, and despite Labour saying they would put a cap on energy bills, (one of the countless lies they have told) our bills keep going up to fund their pointless plan. There's a song by the Bee Gees that perfectly describes this government. TRAGEDY!
