kΔ@dans @paulk @harld The gas that is a mere 4.1% of our supply at this time while (mostly) Scotland 🏴 powers y’all with wind? Also 10.5% being imported from the EU for all the Brexit fans 🤭. Of course it does vary but still, there is often a lot of wind.
Juggling With EggsDespite meeting a fraction of our energy demands, gas sets the price 85% of the time I read this week. We have to drive out our reliance on that final amount - which is why rightwing parties funded directly or indirectly by fossil fuel interests constantly tell us we have to use every ‘cubic centimetre of gas left in the North Sea’…but we don’t actually domestically even use what we extract from there.
@JugglingWithEggs @kDelta @paulk @harld There's also a lot of us with combi boilers, so unable / not yet financially viable to switch to electricity only. When I looked at it when the old boiler died, not having a storage tank or space for one ruled out switching to ASHP. Apparently cooking on a gas hob is better too for some unexplained reason. 🤷♂️
@dans @JugglingWithEggs @paulk @harld It is true though, I have a gas boiler and cooker. I don't own my place so no choice for me! 😬 So my bills will indeed creep up on that side.
