#insulatebrittain — Public Fediverse posts

@Ruth_Mottram Having just refurbished a house in the UK to add the insulation that should have been there in the first place (instead, there was a coal-burning fireplace in each room), I felt first-hand its astronomical cost relative to salaries. Without a country-wide state-sponsored program, insulation of all homes won't happen at all anytime soon, no matter how urgent and clearly needed, not just to combat rising CO2 levels and costs of living, but also as a geopolitical move to gain independence from foreign oil and gas imports.

The "Insulate Brittain" campaign exists, but it's toothless https://insulatebritain.com/

Insulating homes can be done comparatively cheaply–relative to a country's annual expenditures–at a large scale, and the politicians that enact such policies will harvest enormous credit. It's a no-brainer: https://albert.rierol.net/tell/20221008_insulation.html
