Heat pumps and insulation beat new oilfields on cutting UK costs, study finds
Original: Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
A thinktank study says a warm homes plan focused on heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than opening new oilfields such as Rosebank. It also estimates the plan would create about 50,000 jobs, versus roughly 1,100 from the Rosebank oilfield, adding fuel to the debate over UK energy policy.
Why now: The findings directly challenge arguments for approving new North Sea oil and gas projects.
