Warm homes plan 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
A new study by a UK thinktank argues that investing in heat pumps and home insulation would do more to reduce living costs than developing new oilfields such as Rosebank. The analysis says a national warm homes programme would also create around 50,000 jobs, far outweighing the roughly 1,100 jobs linked to the Rosebank oilfield, sharpening the debate over energy policy.
Why now: The findings feed into the ongoing UK political debate over new oil licensing versus home energy efficiency measures.
