  2. Sigh it reduces your energy bills I have thermal solar with current gas prices capital cost is paid for in 6 years and after that 75% of my hot water is FREE i've uprated the insulation in my home put in a new boiler and switched to underfloor heating it will stop coming on in April and not switch back on again till October, energy usage is 20% of previous. There are loads of net zero examples

  8.  @routmaster38  I've never bought a new car, in a couple of years your energy supplier will be giving you free off peak electricity if you sign up to V2G The tech saves them a fortune

  9.  @noelward8047  Net zero because it depends on some intermittent sources requires energy storage and a flattening of the demand curve. We now have the engineering and tech skills to do that. Once your not paying for very expensive peak production the wholesale price plummets

  10.  @noelward8047  looking at a high demand period last year average price was £200 kwh but the peak price was £6000. Its on the extremes but over £1000 in winter regullaly happens. Forward guaranteed contract price for Dogger bank offshore is £42. So storage and using smart tech has a huge impact on price.

  11. Net zero means cheaper energy prices and decoupling from world market commodity shock Another war in the middle east and you'll be bleating about petrol at 4£ a litre

  12.  @BarneyRubble-qr7px  I'm retired on a low income. Spent a load of time reading up on energy, insulation and heating. Did 90% of the refurbishment work myself including taking up all the ground floor and double insulating it. I'd suggest you widen your reading

  13.  @samsaravii9944  How does insulating your home to A+ standard become government control? The only governments controlling us currently are the ones in the middle east and OPEC who control world oil prices
