Energy Housing Bill (new world order)

Announced this week, a new energy bill for housing in the pipeline for all homeowners.

The government will be taking our homes from us if we don’t comply making our home’s energy efficient to whatever the new standard will be, with penalties of £15000 fine or imprisonment. Part of efforts to hit net zero targets. This is just the start, wait till the goal posts are changed further down the line making it harder to comply. This is ULEZ for housing. You can forget being able to rent or sell any property that isn't in line with the new rules, which is most of the UK housing as it stands.

Obviously we are all happy to have more energy efficient lifestyles more respectful to our environments. But while China and India are each increasing more than our whole Co2 output per year, how long will people keep sleepwalking before its too late and their houses are taken from them as they can't afford the fines?

According to Nigel Farage this passed yesterday in Parliament and will be coming into effect. I have a gas cooker 20 years which works fine but no doubt isn't as efficient as a new one but I don't have the money for a new cooker. Our windows are not great but that's my landlord's issue which will have a knock on effect to me, i.e. higher rent.

I’m grade 2 listed and was refused permission for double glazing. Walls made of mud and horsehair. All historically significant. Just how do they expect me to become energy efficient?

We’re in the same situation.
Properties like ours also won’t work with heat pumps

However Listed buildings are exempt from these types of policies as by their very nature listing and their heritage assets would be lost with all the necessary upgrades needed.
