Re: Q BOT sprayed under floor insulation

Mortgage hesitancy of sprayed foam is overblown and old news. It's not different from a roof but from the nature of the area is not as "problematic" when you combine it with the sorry state of UK construction and skills/knowledge. That's the sticking point, a full reverb is better and simi...

Re: decommissioning of nuclear

You can't directly compare electric generated from nuclear with wind though, as you do not build out wind with the storage required to make it dispatchable. Therefore the energy is not equivalent value. Nuclear uses less concrete etc per GWh than wind. You need to be carefull with that argument con...
