      Nice – time to build for the future, not panic every single time an oil shock happens.

      We’ve been here in the Netherlands. It’s a smart move, but dropping an extra 15 – 25K in GDP on someone’s invoice is not something everyone is ready for. There’s a lot more that comes into play when you talk about heat pumps and solar panels. Intentions are good, but hopefully there’s a plan as well to make it all feasible.

      No idea why we haven’t required this in Australia like 20 years ago. Sunny basically all year round in some parts of the country.

      So the US is doing an aggressive marketing campaign for Chinese solar inventory. It’s just comical….

      One of the best things about Labour is how much they’ve thrown themselves fully behind infrastructure generally, and renewables specifically. 

      In fact after Starmer came to power approvals for renewable projects *tripled* when compared quarter to quarter.

      Thanks to Donald Trump, China will likely become the dominant global power within 5 years.

      Now do old houses. Air – Air heat pumps are cheap and efficient. It seems to never have caught on in many countries. I run one and it heats living room, kitchen, and living room easily. Investment was below EUR 1400.

      Very common upgrade as a secondary heating source on older houses here in Sweden. When my primary Air-Water needed repairs mid winter it keept it livable on its own.

      I agree with heat pumps but solar isn’t necessarily great, I think an efficent centralized system would be better. This is just a way to shit cost to private people rather then just taxing them. Its also makes housing more expensive.

      They could have built nuclear plants 40 years ago like the French, but as usual they were to incompetent and instead of copying the French (who were just straight up copying the Americans) they tried to go their own way and fucked it up.

      Yeah, no…. it didn’t „respond to Iran war energy shock“… it announced a LONG RUNNING and already in the works plan to require solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes, that’s been talked about for years, and getting there piecemeal, and been ramping up to the point that my neighbours (both disabled elderly people) have heatpumps and solar panels fitted by the council for free.

      Sure, it helps in an energy crisis, but the implied direction of causation is entirely wrong.

      It could be good to invest in district heating and heat storage solutions as well.

    17. caeru1ean on

      Oh yeah? Cool. Well over here in the US we’re paying billions of dollars to NOT install windmills.

    18. differing on

      I think legalizing plug-in solar is the much bigger deal here. The uk has a ton of old stock housing.

    20. whenisnowthen on

      USA responds by paying a billion dollars to a French company to have them NOT build wind farms off the east coast of America.

    21. Walton_paul on

      Why are they not insisting that all warehouses and large buildings have solar panels on them?

    22. asdhjasdhlkjashdhgf on

      ~ 17 years ago in a radio broadcast some energy expert spoke about the impact of fully going solar on any roof of a large town and what a society and hypothetic future labour market would look like because of that. The bottom line was „you can have lights on in your living room without being labour slave“, it was fun to listen but also explained very much why it did never come to that… – yet.

      glad someone figured out it is the only correct thing to do for a future society, not just to cope an corrupt oil market.

      This has been in development for years; it’s not a response to Israel’s attack

    26. Ineedavodka2019 on

      I have a heat pump just need solar panels and a battery so I don’t have to deal with this crap.

    28. Top-Technology1 on

      It’s unbelievable it’s taken this long to mandate this, solar is a no brainer.
