What is it about the BBC’s climate reporters? They seem to live in their own little bubble, oblivious to what is going on in the real world!

You’d think from reading this that people are queuing up to but heat pumps and EVs.
Last year, according to official government statistics, just 41,723 air heat pumps were installed in the UK using government support schemes, such as the £7500 bung via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
That’s just 0.15% of UK homes. It would take 650 years to get every home in the country fitted with a heat pump at that rate!
As for EVs, only one-in-ten private buyers are going electric, despite avoidance of driving taxes.
The renewable lobbyist, Emma Pinchbeck, thinks that demand for this wonderful “clean” technology is suppressed because the cost of producing electricity from renewables is so high.
Has it not occurred to her that once the subsidies for heat pumps and EVs are gone, a slightly lower electricity price will not make the slightest difference!
