Heat pumps and insulation cut UK costs more than new oilfields, study finds
Original: Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
A thinktank study says a UK warm homes plan centred on heat pumps and insulation would cut living costs more than approving new oilfields such as Rosebank, and would create around 50,000 jobs compared with roughly 1,100 from the Rosebank project. The findings add to the debate over whether North Sea drilling or efficiency measures best serve household bills and employment.
Why now: The findings directly challenge arguments for new North Sea oil and gas approvals amid ongoing energy cost debates.
