• The post you are reporting:
   
  That article you posted Tom about passivhouses was truly appalling. This paragraph caught my eye:
  
  "Britain can now build really low-energy houses massively cheaper than it could just a few years ago. But it's frustrating because the government has rolled back the building standards. If the green levy is dropped, then thousands of people in Oldham and elsewhere will stay cold and ill and it will cost the NHS dearly," says Banks".
  
  Oh! boo hoo those poor, huddled masses with their mouths wide open expecting the next handout to keep them going paid for by the rest of us.
  And then there is the next paragraph which is even sillier:
  
  "One mile away in Fitton Hill, Oldham council, a large housing group and Oldham NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are investing £200,000 between them to retro-fit 1,000 cold homes with new boilers and exterior insulation. The health service calculates it will save £300,000 a year in reduced hospital admissions and social costs, and the council hopes each household will save around £450 a year. Each home also draws on energy company green levy money".
  
  Who makes up all this nonsense? More to the point, who profits from it?
