Dream?

[Gray0689]

You make fair comments, I have considered them before, life is often a compromise ! The refrigerant is R410A you probably have it in your fridge / freezer - are the alternatives much better ? I would like Solar PV, my younger brother is getting rich on it ! but for various reasons I can`t, besides the likes of you would raise the old the Chestnut about components, production, etc. I fitted Solar Thermal 24 years ago - has paid for itself 4 times over by now, long term it`s worth it, it`s all about the legacy you leave, not just for my kids, how about considering all future generations. Renewables have their place, research yes, inventions have brought hope ! Negativity and you loose out ! Sorry if that IS fact or argument !

I'm not the one saying we should use renewable energy
The cost of renewable energy on the carbon footprint makes it not very good for the environment I have friends that work in big industry in renewables and the only reason it's around big at the minute is government grants and subsidiaries otherwise it wouldn't be cost effective
You really should do research before trying to push it

You have made 5,155 posts, simon has made 8,454, I do not intend arguing to that extent, so many people will never face up to the fact that mankind cannot continue to RAPE this planet like there is no tomorrow. I accept that why can`t you ? I have done loads of research too. To carry on as you advocate this world would need to be over three planets, before our grandchildren are my age, that can NOT continue. I totally agree with Worcester and others that it is an uphill struggle trying to live more eco. It`s hard to over come the difficulties that are plenty but to run away from the challenge would be defeat, in all my 68 years of struggle I have managed to succeed by refusing to quit. Better still is the satisfaction of a system that works and I am well satisfied after a year of use with the savings that are currently good. Although I admit it had to be used hybrid for a few times last winter, but overall my heating demand has been met from AIR with cost savings. PS regards your point about grants & subsidies I do not like paying for the high price of imported fuel you demand from all over the world, that`s not cost effective and we are being RIP OFF because every one in the industry wants too big a slice of my cake, so carry on giving them your cake if you wish, as Simon wrote each to there own (misguided) opinion!

Thanks, I will have fun regardless of my dreams but I shall also continue to indulge with saving some Wonga on my energy bills ! I guess you won`t even bother dreaming, those without vision are already lost though lack of foresight. All the best to you all anyway.

Gray, Posting comments like that, you do not know my past achievements, the places I have worked, including at sea as ships electrician & much more. How much fun I am having with my 2 clever sons & 2 wonderful daughters all grown up, 9 grandchildren & last spring a family reunion of 100 present. Don`t make a fool of yourself, so have vision further than your boots, & be prepared. Regards my money, you do not know what I have done with It, and money is not everything that`s vital above any one`s need, besides I still like the challenge of using my skills in energy & cost saving projects, hobbies, visiting the elderly who always ask to see me, charities work, etc. Get a good life mate, mine is full, vibrant & NOT self indulgent or insulting. SimonG that was rubbish & there were things missing -- that said a lot -- The rules state "be nice" I`m trying to resist your provocation. Now lets get positive not empty trivia. I have done so many positive tasks all my life, is there a chance of constructive, helpful change from your posts ?. David Jones asked a genuine question on this thread & its been hijacked is that kosher in the rules ?
