Heat pump sales rise by 40% in 2022

It's the official mileage figure, zany, taken on the WLTP test but it's known to be a gross exaggeration of the actual figure. The actual figure for that car running on diesel is less than 40 mpg. You can run the car entirely on electricity (if you charge up before each trip and always do trips less than 30 miles - and you get a special deal for electric cars of 7.5p/kWh) but that's not using the car the way most people do - AND you'll find that your deal on electricity will not last long because it's basically a subsidised price which other people are being charged for.

As for a gas boiler "buggering up the atmosphere" it doesn't. It generates CO2 of course but that's an essential part of our atmosphere without which we'd be dead. As I've said before the recorded temperature increase between 1850 and 2000 is about 1.1C. You choose to believe that this is caused by an increase in CO2 from about 280ppm to about 420ppm, but I'd suggest that another more likely cause is that the world's population has increased (in that time) from about 1 billion to nearly 8 billion - and 80% of the world's land surface has been repurposed for infrastructure, crops etc. (That's the figure the David Attenborough gave on Planet Earth III). There's no empirical evidence whatsoever that raising CO2 this amount causes warming, but there is plenty of empirical evidence that chopping trees down for crops and building houses all over the place MOST certainly does.

Been there done that. Night time rates are here for the duration. 

Yup ZG ,they are here until they are not.

The bit you're missing is that night time use is half that of day time. There is currently 50gw per hour unused at night. So there is a great deal to spare. 

That's because the huge user of electricity which is commercial and industrial shuts down at night. 



Don't be stupid, of course the global population makes a big differences to Earths temperature. Its where they live on the planet that makes little difference. 
You claiming immigration is causing global warming is what I questioned. Build a new town in the UK, Abandon a town in Somalia. 
I suspect your problem is that you imagine they all live in mud hunts as hunter gatherers in fuzzywuzzy land.

“ The older heat pumps might have struggled to heat some homes adequately unless the homeowner decided to install larger radiators, for example. The increased surface area of such radiators helps transfer heat into the room.
But a new breed of heat pumps is emerging. Engineers have gradually improved the technology, meaning that heat pumps are now able to supply much higher temperatures, sometimes in excess of 70C.
A major change has been the rise of new refrigerants, including R290, or propane. This is the fluid that circulates inside a heat pump. In an air source device, the refrigerant captures warmth from the outside air, even on cold days. By compressing the slightly warmed refrigerant, the heat pump is able to increase the temperature and then transfer that heat into a property.

1. If sales of BEVs actually reach the levels that the govt want (it's currently 22% of a manufacturer's cars sold new have to be BEVs - or the manufacturer is fined £15,000 per car) that will very rapidly even out electricity demand. In fact we'll need a few more nuclear power stations to satisfy the off-peak demand.

2. I've never made any comment at all about immigration causing global warming. The trouble with you Zany is that, despite discussing this subject for years, you still don't even understand what the arguments about. You're in a permanent state of confusion.
