Doubts about EVs
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Our house was built in 1968 it's termed a Dorma style House as the upstairs bedrooms have sloped ceilings that follow the steep angle of the roof. There was very little rafter insulation - just a thin layer of fiber board - I had insulated the loft rafters with Kingspan type insulation. Our modern condensing boiler was new in 2016.- we retained a hot water tank - I think it's known as a fully pumped system. No mains pressure radiators or hot water by choice.
Following our house fire in November 2017 it was rebuilt to comply with the building control regulations that applied in 2018 so we gained 50 mm Kingspan to the full length of the rafters plus an extra 50 mm Kingspan with attached plaster board to the bedroom walls. Slight downside was we lost about 4 inches off the bedroom widths plus some loss of height on the sloping roof - no biggie as the bedrooms are a good size.
Due to this insulated dome effect our bedrooms are very warm in the summer with a huge ceiling fan a must. In the winter all upstairs radiators are off - even without any upstairs heating its generally 72-78 F. Due to my heart condition I prefer the downstairs rooms to be a minimum of 74 F - I wear three layers of upper clothing to be comfortable.
We will never move from our current home. I have neither the funds nor the inclination to go for any sort of heat pump as there would be no economic return to make it viable. Likewise an all EV is just a joke for most older folk imho.

One thing for sure electric plane way off so all those piston engine aircraft will be running on avigas for many years to come so just need to fill up at your local flying club instead

The Zero Avia did their first Hydrogen powered fight earlier this year at Cotswold Airport.

It's all a sham They know that population density is the problem and they can't deal with that. The world's population has more than doubled just in my lifetime and they all want transport, feeding, and an ever better standard of living. Genocide anyone.
