There are threats to ban gas boilers in new-build homes in Poodleville as well as stories of heat pumps being very noisy and only able to heat radiators up to about 40°C, whilst costing tens of thousands to install and with suggestions that radiators would have to be extremely large.

Very obviously, they're trying to herd the sheeple into buying solar panels and wind turbines, but don't want a mass exodus. Already, the cost of  solar panels is less than £1 per watt. Spread over 25 years, its far cheaper than the tariffs on offer whilst the cost of installation is far cheaper than heat-pumps. You could even dispense with expensive insulation, install a 5kWh solar panel for about £5,000 and then waste as much electricity as you want.

Despite the pothead war criminal cutting subsidies for solar panels, the energy suppliers are still required to pay sheeple for any energy produced. That's why the poodle state has rolled out smart-meters which will record energy flowing back onto the grid. This is also why they're promoting battery powered cars rather than hydrogen. The one advantage of owning a battery powered car is that you get free fuel if you have your own energy supply. However, unless you have LiFePo4 batteries, Li-ion batteries might burn your garage down.

Having suggested that the sheeple could heat a room using a £1 box of Ikea tea-light candles, the zionist Daily Telegraphic Nonsense is now suggesting the sheeple could sell energy to their neighbours. Presumably, this is to deal with issues with the grid being able to cope with the potentially HUGE increase in demand from charging cars and self-immolating, self-crashing death-pods bought with dogecoins.

Meanwhile, Porsche and Toyota are trialling "e-fuels" made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide and which can be used in internal combustion engines without modification.

The huge amount of energy required to "mine" buttcoins is intended to manage the transition away from fossil fuels without a collapse in oil prices as the Great Satan (and poodle) have to inflate away the HUGE and unpayable debt.

Despite China being responsible for about half the increase in renewable energy, war criminal, John Kerry, has berated China, claiming she has to move and teenage, self-appointed climate expert, Greta Thunberg, has joined in, whilst neglecting Japan's release of toxic waste into the ocean. The Great Satan remains the WORLD'S WORST polluter per capita.
