A climate obsessed government wasting money on a \u201awretched\u2018 subsidised scheme while chasing self-imposed targets \u2013 heard it before?<\/em>.

The government offered vouchers to help people pay to replace boilers with heat pumps but critics say most people can\u2019t afford them \u201esubsidised or not\u201c, reports Sky News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eIt does not help people keep bills low. It takes from the poor to give to the wealthy and it is an embarrassment of a policy.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures have cast doubt on the government\u2019s target of 600,000 installations of heat pumps per year by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the scheme, households are given \u00a35,000 vouchers to cover part of the cost of replacing fossil fuel heating systems \u2013 including oil, gas or electric \u2013 with a heat pump or biomass boiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ministers have previously said this will cut emissions and reduce the UK\u2019s dependency on fossil fuels, mitigating some of its exposure to global price spikes in gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
