Heat pumps would lead to a massive increase in the demand on coal
powered fire stations. Or massively increase the demand for nuclear
power stations to be built. Heat pumps use electricity with a very
poor COP in any but very mild climates. The rest of the time they are
no better than very expensive electric heating. They would often be
used to provide greater comfort in houses without adequate insulation
and probably used for air conditioning in warm weather. Air
conditioning is horribly inefficient via a heat pump and is an
increased demand on energy production which did not exist before.

Hybrid cars improve on nothing which electric cars, charged overnight
by wind power, can manage with one hand behind their back. Hybrid cars
still use oil which props up the vilest dictators on the planet who in
turn fund global terrorism with Western oil money. Removing the energy
consumed globally in fighting terrorism/wars would save building quite
a few nuclear power stations or close polluting coal fired examples.

Only the insulation of the world's housing stock would increase
comfort levels without increasing energy production and CO2. Presently
great numbers of elderly people in Europe die of cold and heat. This
is a good thing, as far as European governments are concerned, because
it reduces the demand for state pensions which can be better spent on
open-ended, tax payer subsidised, defence contracts. These taxpayers
have already paid for their pensions so it leaves a nice profit if
they die early which the government can then spend on defence.

A solar conservatory is a CO2 producer due to the nature of its raw
materials. Unless it is built in a climate with a guaranteed winter
sunshine regime it will greatly increase demand for energy without
ever paying back the CO2 in savings on home heating.

An attic full of insulation is not adequate home insulation. It
achieves very little in real terms unless the insulation is extended
to the walls and preferably the floors. An attic is often placed over
unheated bedrooms so the energy savings are often far lower than
hoped. An insulating collar can be applied to the surrounding ground
to a considerable depth with suitable drainage to reduce losses
through floors ut the work is expensive and disruptive.. Most
insulation is heavily reliant on high energy usage in its production.

The irony is that insulating the present housing stock would massively
reduce energy demand and offer levels of human comfort completely
unheard of historically. Fitting external insulation, to use the built
structure as a heat sink, requires some skill and a vast workforce. In
times of a critical demand for CO2/energy reduction and high
unemployment home insulation offers many benefits and few side
effects. So, how many governments are organising and subsidising home
insulation?

Architects are the greatest hurdle to improved home and office
insulation. Their arrogant record of ignoring the most basic rules for
human comfort are written all over the landscape. These charlatans
continue to build aquaria which rocket and plummet in temperature with
the season. Hang all the architects for their crimes against humanity
and simultaneously save the world!

Close all the supermarkets with their global movements of substandard
products to maximise their profits at the expense of the globe and
the human race as a whole.

Stop trading with any country which continues to use coal for energy
production without offering universal home insulation to its people.

Energy usage shackles "workers" to utterly pointless, wasteful jobs
to be able to afford their quarterly energy bills and fuel bills for
commuting. Just imagine the constructive things they could do (like
insulating buildings) instead of just moving money around the global
system, using an inefficient, energy guzzling computer keyboard as a
paddle.
