Well I would expect to be 'taken to the cleaners' if I started a thread banging on about yet another fraud in the name of Global Warming/CO2 etc but I follow this guy on Youtube and he's pretty straight up as far as anything I've ever heard or learned and this post of his hits all the stops:

Heat pumps
Agree with him, see answer to "Daikin hybrid air heat pump system under green home energy grant".
I had a wayleave survey done on my property and low and behold I also found my supply could not support a battery car charger; they SSE would have to dig 100ft trench to put a heavier line from the road, now add the power needed for the heat pump and I see the lights dimming.

The biggest 'take' from his Youtube is that this isn't going to be optional - it's going to be forced upon us. Just as Smart Meters will be (note his comment on 'leveling the cost of electricity and gas).
And it's all because of 'the science'.......
