Wow, that is impressive.

If only the other sectors could come up with such hope-giving reductions.

I suspect the transport sector will be the undoing of us all. . . . i.e. too many people addicted to the superhuman power of fossil-fuel burning.
4 kWp Solar PV : 50%/50% SE/SW : Solis Hybrid 3.6 : Pylontec 9.6 kWh
5 Kwh Air-to-Air Mitsubishi Heat Pump : single-split
Jotul 602 wood-burner ( 2012 )
Ripple : Graig Fatha & Kirk Hill . . . . plus various other renewable projects.
