UK to put nuclear power at heart of net zero emissions strategy
> The Heat and Building Strategy, to be published alongside the wider net zero review, will include a new 2035 target for a ban on fitting new domestic gas boilers.<p>Man, I'm glad this is included but the scientific reality is that we need to move much much faster than this.<p>For reference, even if we perfectly replaced every gas furnace at the end of its functional life starting today with a non-polluting heat pump, we'd still be on track for 2 degrees of warming.<p>We need gas bans on new houses NOW or at the VERY least create major up-front discounts for heat pumps.
