Problems in the UK

So gas prices in the UK are increasing at an alarming rate and many people are blaming Brexit as the reason and yes it is part of the reason but not the main one.

Like many countries around the world we have never had any forward planning but only knee jerk reaction and this steep rise in the demand for gas is because over the last few years we have never stored it in any sort of quantity or spent enough money on alternatives.

But we don’t really need it do we because within ten years all the gas boilers will be obsolete replaced by hi-tech heat pumps that produce electric from the ground. Of course they cost four times as much as traditional gas boilers and cost more to run, still if you live in a big house in a gated complex this isn’t a problem, and if you live in a house in Balsall Heath and live day to day theirs always charities to give you a couple of loaves and a hot water bottle.

Sorry for once again being cynical it must be my age.
