Comment on Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
danielquinn@lemmy.ca 1 day agoYou’re ignoring the GDP effects of constant consumption in the form of gas. GDP is not a measure of quality of life, let alone a good economy. It goes down as you reduce consumption.
Heat pumps are a one time, up front cost, and their installation & maintenance is minor compared to the massive, 24hour spend on running a fossil economy.

Well, UK only produces about 50% of it’s fossil fuels, so… the other half does not contribute to it’s GDP. Factors in climate change harm to GDP and fossil fuel effects on health. Yeah…
