Heat pumps for all new homes and plug-in solar in green tech drive

Solar panels that can be plugged in at home could be available to buy in supermarkets in the coming months.

@Akshay should have happened years ago.

@DoctorDNS

Possibly, but i think it’s important to reward/praise politicians for doing something good, and not just punish them for doing bad.

Otherwise what’s the political incentive, and why would they bother?

The answer is they often don’t, they just try to stay out of trouble, because support and praise is withheld by the lukewarm supporters of a policy, while opponents will always bring the fierce negativity.

@Akshay Of coure. I do try to say thank you when politicians do good things. Heck, I even said thank you to MTG. I should be better at that.
