As for the future for gas, the future is increasing prices as supply and demand change, especially as the UK will be competing with other countries to import gas once North Sea gas has been exhausted. Same for oil too.

As for biofuels, my personal opinion is that they are a dead end since there will never be enough production capacity to meet current demands. If it wasn't for subsidies, with the possible exception of sugar-cane sourced ethanol, none of them would be able to compete in the current market.

By choosing a mains supply of fuel, and the most efficient means of using it, then perhaps investing in a bit of solar for water for the summer, I think you are being more realistic.]]> Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19220#Comment_19220 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19220#Comment_19220 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:21:54 +0100 rogerwhit Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19227#Comment_19227 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19227#Comment_19227 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:26:06 +0100 Jayne Downstairs is still a problem with a front door that leaks air (and water!) and floor boards that do the same. This is all due for renovation too though when funds allow so no doubt most of those issues will go away]]> Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19230#Comment_19230 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19230#Comment_19230 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:16:52 +0100 ludite Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19239#Comment_19239 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19239#Comment_19239 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:51:41 +0100 Jayne Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19254#Comment_19254 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19254#Comment_19254 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:17:04 +0100 CWatters Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19258#Comment_19258 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19258#Comment_19258 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:05:04 +0100 caliwag
Just google "Ravenheat energy catcher" for latest spec. Is cheap to install and will pay for itself in less than 5 years, rather better than most active systems, I think you'll agree, especially in an Edwardian house where insulation, insulation, insulation is difficult.]]> Cooker and heating question https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19260#Comment_19260 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1622&Focus=19260#Comment_19260 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:12:29 +0100 caliwag
