If you provide me with an electric car that can drive from Aberdeen to Sutherland & back in a day & a heat pump that provides more heat, more cheaply than my gas boiler, then I will gladly buy both tomorrow. But you can't & that is why Net Zero is already politically dead

I pointed out some time ago that the behaviour of Humza Yousaf and his wife absolutely stinks. We don't elect people to public office to pay money to get their family out of Gaza. Now the Telegraph agrees effiedeans.com/2024/01/this-s…
