Critics of the long-awaited #WarmHomesPlan suggest the only people to benefit will be private companies!
-> As even with a Government grant, households will still face additional costs, e.g. a heat pump after subsidies, will cost an average of £𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬!

Fine words but no detail. I hope this doesn't go the way of the was it £28bn per year we were promised for the green economy before Rachel had a look at the books.

There's a lot to like in this government initiative but concerning that improved heat-tightness (chiefly via insulation) doesn't get the leading emphasis it should have. Instead a lot of emphasis on solar, but the EROI of solar isn't great in the UK.
Skip past the copious puff to the bottom, notes to editors, to find a bit of detail.
