How scrappage is reviving the world economy

If not the world environment.

'Green' was so yesterday... and might be tomorrow. But for now....

Just popped in a wee plug for one of those odd win-win notions I happen across that just don't seem to tick the right boxes for the target bonus brigade.

Talking of such things… and (anthro) global warming (which we weren’t, but some in high places often do, as and when it suits):

Lord, hear our share

I guess how many votes might be in it.

Eh, Peter? Whadyareckon?

Scrap old gas appliances says the Corgi trust

Recognising that the advocacy group might have a vested interest, it makes a heck of a lot more sense to me than paying a person £2k to by a new Beemer motor car.

IMHO.

Addendum:

And not just me.

This from the ever well-informed and cutting-edge Dave of Solarventi:

Addendum 2:

Edie - The minister tasked with battling climate change has backed calls for the government to create a boiler scrappage scheme. - Maybe instead/in favour of car schemes and/or £6m 'awareness' campaigns in danger of being.. er.. scrapped due to falling foul of objectivity rules?

Addendum 3: http://reheatbritain.org.uk/help - with that petition link if you find merit:)

After all the negativity of the recent 'climate awareness' nonsense, we might point our talking heads in more productive directions for their money, emissions-wise?

CATEGORY - HEATING

As a key aspect in domestic emissions (and energy costs), this deserves a break out category.
