In his pursuit of decarbonization, Ed Miliband's energy plan may leave households with insecure and expensive energy supplies. The government's plan to fine firms that don't meet quotas for green systems will pass on the cost to buyers, making traditional boilers prohibitively expensive. Heat pumps, the alternative, are costly, unreliable, and often result in higher energy bills. The government's focus on green ideology ignores economic realities and the negligible impact of replacing all boilers with heat pumps on climate change.
