That is a good summary. Other people are also expressing the ideas in
article.

The lack of critical thinking could not be greater when it comes to all
things associated with getting CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Yes, EVs have there advantages but they are no silver bullet.

As the Police told us for a long time, The faster you go the bigger the
mess.

I think Harry Palmer has missed the point of using heat pumps to heat water
for domestic houses. The idea is not to heat the water all the way but just wahat it can do easily, then the water rises to the top where the resistive element takes it to 55 degrees C. As heat pumps are more efficient than the resistive element there is an overall power saving. Whether or not this is ecominical $ wise is a matter of power cost.

Regardless wsome power will be saved and as it probably be from coal powered power there will be less CO2

Now, CO2 storage.

"Now compare this with what we’re told by government and their helpers: we’re going to capture the CO2 and store it underground. What are these idiots talking about? Have they any idea?"

Well looks like they do. They are working on it. Is it feasible/commerical? Maybe not.

some of the "Green" money could have been use to "free" these PDFs.

There are also heat pump clothes dryers.
Whatever the application heat pumps are more efficient than traditional heating methods. But they are only part of the equation.

It is idiotic but they are following some pseudo green philosophy or perhaps just chasing profit. Nevertheless it is idiotic.
