The end of the cosy open fire?
Discussion
Seems, not just content to kill off the V8, and most other ICE, we’re going to see the beginning of the end of open fires https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/2...
No more house coal from next year, no more wet wood two years later. How long before even dry wood will be banned.

It's a bit of a non-story, really.
Or the thin end of the wedge. There is (semi) serious talk about banning new gas connections for new builds and using leccy instead. It’s due to the carbon footprint, they say, so smokeless, oil and propane next?Wood should be good, it’s naturally bio.
Or are we all going to be staring longingly into an LCD fire?

It's very serious talk and an absolute disaster in the making!
Yeah, but we’re told the incremental cost of electricity is going to fall close to zero, and even go negative overnight ... doesn’t that make it a free resource? And a damn sight more attractive than nasty, poluting, cumbersome, inefficient, difficult to distribute, explosive gas 😇

Agree. Would be interested to fully understand the real carbon footprint of both.
Lo and behold, here is the answer to that: https://www.websitecarbon.com/website/facebook-com...So, 1.3g of carbon used by visitors for every page view. Conservative say about 5bn page view every day, so about 6.5m tonnes per day. FB run their servers on green energy.
