> The Heat and Building Strategy, to be published alongside the wider net zero review, will include a new 2035 target for a ban on fitting new domestic gas boilers.
Man, I'm glad this is included but the scientific reality is that we need to move much much faster than this.
For reference, even if we perfectly replaced every gas furnace at the end of its functional life starting today with a non-polluting heat pump, we'd still be on track for 2 degrees of warming.
We need gas bans on new houses NOW or at the VERY least create major up-front discounts for heat pumps.
