Scotland bans wood stoves😱

I maintain that the technology as implemented is polluting.
Maybe things are better with your ideal system.

But I don't think they perform quite how you think they do either.

Clutching at straws now. Even the article you reference to includes the solution as nobody in there right mind stops and starts a pellet boiler. There specifically made to modulate to very low percentages of there maximum output so in a heating season say Oct to Mar it will be ignited in Oct and allowed to go out in Mar. I dont understand how people get paid for scientific research for a problem that does not exist and they even admit it does not exist in their research paper.
As for the test itself no mention of any electro-static filter and measurement of the PM matter which actually gets past the filter.
Where not discussing the technology as implemented is polluting. The discussion is banning NEW installations in Scotland which could be the "ideal" system that is actually 20 year old technology but we will never no as the green nutters in Scotland have banned it due to total ignorance similar to that which your spouting rather than getting a grip of the technology and creating the appropriate legislation to use that technology. Its not as though Scotland does not have any trees to provide the fuel and support their forestry industry.

What on earth has this to do with Scotland banning wood stoves.

Well the banning of stoves in Scotland is to save the world in it's own small tiny way but if Electric cars aren't going to be the answer then what's the point?

Just wondering how many of my fellow teuchters know about this? Wood is our only source of heat and hot water. Any renovations would include same. Plus oil.
A heat pump wouldn't keep the bathroom warm, much less the whole house. I used to live near Memphis; they tried them there and it didn't work! And they're noisy as hell.
You couldn't make it up.

Our ground source heat pump works well. Heats the whole house and does all the hot water. We have no other way of heating water.
Have a log burner but it rarely gets lit. Five times a year perhaps.

If I lived in Scotland, I'd say that my woodstove identified as a TransHeatPump & I would insist that anyone who said different was registered as a Hate Crime Offender.

Aye Geordie, your Lumbs reeking and you called Wullie a poof at the pub last weekend. You’d better come down to the station

Sounds about right.
Living in Scotlands like a giant loony bin.

I wonder if common sense will now prevail & this particular decision will be reversed based on the SNP's original study from 2x years ago which identified that burning wood was less polluting than originally calculated.
