James and Abc are just I'll-informed.
Google "ground source heat pump". That's solar heating. 500% efficient. For every watt of energy you pay to run it you get 5 of heat into your house.
Its a lie global warming is the sun manmade global warming is a convincing lie that allows governments to impose tax's
The time of year that heating is needed is the time of year when there is least sunlight here in the UK.
solar heaters have been around for at least 30 years commercially. It all about how much people want them, because they do work. Solar panels are getting better and better, and they can be used to make heat.
Also, the government does have lots of information on how to use the sun to you advantage, such as planting certain types of trees to allow sun in the winter and shade in the summer to reduce heating/cooling expenses.
The halfass stance is because Half of the people deny that climate change is occurring, and they muck up progress to a greener world.
The government keeps lieing to us about the cause of global warming yet they only have an half **** stance on it. so why can we not by more sun powered things like heaters its been so could it cost us a bomb to heat our house .and if you dont know thats the answer money
