    There is a target for gas boilers to be abandoned in Wales with no-one using one by 2030, climate change minister Julie James has said.

    Mine's only 18 months old.
    If they pay me, I'll change it.

    Oh the crooks !

    Wake up to this climate change fraud people.

    It’s NOTHING but a huge scheme to get the modest amounts of money out of your pockets and into the already bulging gold bags of politicians and billionaires.

    DONT TAKE IT ANYMORE

    At this stage it’s very complicated because they’ve made it so, as all con men do.

    Much as I’d like to go through it if it helped just one person, I just can’t start explaining the history politics and very basic TRUE science to one person , who’s vey likely to reject it out of hand anyway.

    All I can do is implore you to look at the whole thing carefully yourself. I have no agenda other than to dissuade you and so many others not to take the sweets from the “nice man” in the van , or go for a ride with him.

    I was expecting this answer. Nothing at all addressed, an insult towards me and a boast about how smart you are.

    Let me ask another question which you also won't answer in a haughty way.

    Politician careers at the top often only last a few years. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to receive kickbacks from the existing giants, oil and gas? Why would they embark on a decades long campaign on behalf of an industry that doesn't make money?

    It makes no sense because you are, yet again, talking total nonsense. But you like people replying to you, so here we are.

    OK, I think I get what you're saying. I see it as 'the nice man in the van' is the person who's coming to take my gas boiler away and will exploit my sugar cravings with say, Turkish Delight, in a kind Narnia, climate-changed post-apocalyptic future and lure me into his van to do bad things to me, like, force me to watch bearded men in 1970s Open University programmes explain equations about carbon emissions on black & white CRT sets (the bearded men aren't actually on the sets - that would just be crazy). I admit that I could be reading too much into this or the Psilocybin I bought off the Dark Web is stronger than I thought.

    Ronnie, please shut up. You don't know what you're talking about here. The planet is in peril. Everyone knows it.

    It’s a “target”
    As the climax minister she has to give some sort of date
    Can’t see the entire country switching to electricity by then
    I’m the same as Bobh
    Got a new gas boiler plus I’ve got a log burner 🔥
    Eight years will be here in no time 🤨

    They have to make electricity far moe affordable before they can even begin to think about this. And that won't be easy!

    My energy is 100% green and, guess what, it was the cheapest tariff on the market. Saying that, I wouldn't want to switch the boiler over to electricity because it would be very expensive to run. I guess my house will have its own energy source (solar) by the time 2030 comes around, together with a storage battery, so it may then become a viable option.

    The Llandeilo by pass is going ahead thank goodness. We're in safe hands.

    How would the grid cope with the massively increased demand?

    Are you asking about generation or transmission and distribution?

    Yeah, silly me. If only had your understanding of these matters.

    Re: Target for no-one in Wales to use a gas boiler after 2030, climate change minister says

    Electric cars, electric heating...the whole country is going electric. But we only just got through the last winter, with a number of 'very close' incidents, where demand exceeded supply - we were literally minutes away from major power cuts. We're going to need at least a dozen new power stations, running on.... Er, what, exactly?

    Re: Target for no-one in Wales to use a gas boiler after 2030, climate change minister says

    Nevermind that, we all need to get out in our gardens and dig, dig trenches 3 metres deep and as long as possible to put pipes in to source the heat we all need. So forget the bar you built, the new patio or decking, up it comes, get digging. You just need a small room then to house the components needed to sort that heat to run your your house….and about 10/20 grand. It’s no problem Shirley?
    Come on, get digging we’ve got 8 yrs….to save mankind

    I changed my boiler last Nov, the old one was knackered and while we are planning a extension on the place, we thought we would go with a higher rated boiler to cope with demand

    Had a company come out and explain the heat bore source system, it was crazy and not too much different to your post, the guy said it was the future and we will all need it in the next 20 years, I laughed at him, he might have been right, just have to hope BoJo doesn't buy into this climate change stuff

    Yeah all of this irritating science stuff might mean an inconvenience in favour of something silly like saving the planet. Let's hope Boris sticks his head in the sand and ignores it. That way you won't have to undertake some groundworks in your garden - let your kids deal with the mess instead.

    Interesting, where was this reported?

    An arbitrary date with no appreciation of the complexities of the changes, time to reskill etc

    Definitely can see 2030 new homes being fitted with no gas boilers but retrospective changes are pie in the sky

    Surely global warming will go hand in hand with removals of gas boilers ?
    We just keep what we're doing, like chucking fag packets in the sea and stuff, and they'll be no need for boilers.
    Especially when Trecco Bay levels rise by 2 mm
