Heat pumps and insulation beat new oilfields on costs, study says
Original: Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
A new study suggests that installing heat pumps and improving home insulation would cut UK household living costs more than developing new oilfields. The findings challenge arguments that expanding fossil fuel production would ease the cost of living, pointing instead to energy efficiency measures as the more effective way to reduce bills.
Why now: The cost of living and UK energy policy are hot topics, and the study directly challenges the case for new oil and gas licensing.
