Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK costs more than new oilfields, study finds
Original: Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests By Fiona Harvey Environment
A thinktank study reported by the Guardian suggests that investing in heat pumps and home insulation would cut UK living costs more effectively than developing new oilfields such as Rosebank. The analysis also estimates a warm homes plan would create around 50,000 jobs, compared with roughly 1,100 from the Rosebank oilfield, adding an economic argument to the debate over UK energy policy.
Why now: The findings feed into the ongoing UK political debate over new oil and gas licensing versus investment in home energy efficiency.
