SOVIET STYLE HEATING - NOT THE FUTURE (I HOPE)

As the Telegraph article points out, billions of central govt funding will be funneled to local councils, so they can dig up streets to pipe hot water into blocks of flats in cities across the UK

The Telegraph go on to list numerous examples of Soviet failures in their local heat systems. But most worrying of all is the imposition of state control of people’s home heating systems.

Given the horrifying inefficiency of local government, costs will undoubtedly rocket. And homeowners will have no alternative but to pay the bill, as they will be invoiced on a fixed annual basis, whether they use the heating or not. It sounds like a recipe for high costs, waste and inefficiency.
