Errrr hmmm……no
The colder it is… the better they work. If you put your hand behide a fridge you can feel the heat. Think of an air source heat pumps as a fridge working in reverse. They use about 7Kw of electricity which is about the same as an electric shower.
The problem is…. 1 Kw costs between 11 to 21 pence. If you run it 24 hou…[Read more]

Actually they are probably worse than normal electric heaters as the compressor (the thing that consumes most of the electric) would be outside of the house.
If you have an electric oven you might as well just use that as a heater.

My understanding is that air source heat pumps are more or less useless as heaters as when it is cold outside (when you usually would want heating) there is very little heat energy that can be extracted from the air.
They work fine as air conditioners, but for heating they aren’t much more efficent than a normal resisitive heater. You need ground…[Read more]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I first saw information on ground sourced heat pumps back in 2002. It was in a hand out from CIPHE and sent out with there magazine.
Since then I’ve spoken to a few UK owners who live in France. There view was the “bore hole” system was crap and favoured the trench system.
As we all know if you drill down into the gro…[Read more]

“The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (Domestic RHI) is a government financial incentive to promote the use of renewable heat. Switching to heating systems that use eligible energy sources can help the UK reduce its carbon emissions and meet its renewable energy targets.
You could get money towards renewable heating costs in your home.

This goes back to the original law back in 1967.
Medical science came a long way since then. Today a one week old embryo can be grown to full term in a lab. New cloning techniques can be applied.
The question is…is it right?
When do we start being people and not lab experiment’s?

I don’t agree that being able to survive on your own is the correct criteria.
Humans don’t really meet that until at least the age of 3 years. You also raise issues about whether people in comas or other vegitative states have human rights or not, as they would be unabled to survive on their own.

It is very clearly murder at some stage of development.
I thought this debate is about at when that stage is, not if murder should exist or not.
I’ve seen some people say that post-natal terminations should be legalised, but I assume you are not one of these monsters. Would you agree that terminating a baby at 9 months is murder?

This is what I have said in the past.
I believe the Texas law states it is illegal if a heartbeat can be detected, which is usually at 6 weeks.
I don’t nessersarily agree with this, your status as a human should be determined by the existance of a conciousness in some form, not by a heartbeat. If your heart stops due to a medical condition do…[Read more]
