I was not surprised to see that the wattsucker nation (sucking up all available watts and suckers for the all-electric mantra) has now decreed that all our home hot water systems should be replaced by expensive electric heat pump solutions. The same group that wants to replace all transportation with their EV-only solutions, some even advocating the demise of the internal combustion engine.
As usual they have completely ignored any other solutions, the most common being the solar panel water heating systems so popular in Europe and available here from several sources in Europe. These systems will not overload the sorely impacted grid the wattsuckers are dumping all their polluting pipe dreams on. A grid, redolent with whiffs of nuclear, coal, fossil fuels and other fancy filth with recent mentions of “small nukes.” Again, not a peep about biofuels or natural gas from dairies, waste effluent and garbage dumps.
In case anyone missed it, the idea is to eliminate carbon, not make it grow. This is an incredible opportunity for politicians to make a serious improvement to our lives. Don’t waste it.
