meanwhile the windmills and solar panels are pointless and they’ll be buying their electricity from France like Ireland.

Good. That money they saved on heat can pay for their antibiotic pacs for their bronchitis.

Yes, but the new boilers are politically superior. Their owners only think they're cold. When they reach truly advanced political thought they'll realize they were warm all along. War is peace, freedom is slavery, cold is warm. Praise the Party!

Whow! They have been bitten by one of the most immutable laws... the law of unintended consequences! It most frequently hits do-gooders and liberals.

Government has a solution for everything.
Unfortunately, none of them work.

Governments everywhere are failures at designing consumer products. No one should buy anything that the government hacks are pushing as “green.” Mark Steyn, filling in for Rush today, did a hilarious bit about how to safely clean up a “curly fry bulb” (the mercury-laden compact florescent bulb), as recommended by the Maine energy conservation geniuses.

Hey Brits! I’ve got some land in Lexington and Concord that I want to show you.

Yet another example of a government “fixing” a problem that didn’t exist, thereby creating a real one.
To: Swordmaker
Indeed, what a heartwarming report. Maybe now many of those loony Brits, who were believing all of the global warming hype, will have serious second thoughts and tell their government to ‘shove it’ when they start AGW scare mongering and useless and worthless mandating again.

Do not attempt to disobey the laws of God and nature. Kipling wrote a great poem that his fellow country men need to read. "The Sons of Martha". "They do not preach that their gods will wake them before the nuts work loose".
That and "Gods of the CopyBook Headings". They did it once, they can do it again. If they summon the will.

And here in the United States, GM is about to introduce the first coal-powered vehicle since the decline of the steam locomotive...

"It most frequently hits do-gooders and liberals." Unfortunately we (the royal we BTW) put these people in charge (see EPA here) and they are going to damage all of us, with there regulations.

It is a wonderful idea to redirect that weak acid back into the boiler instead of just letting it go up the stack...especially if you make a living repairing or manufacturing boilers. Overall, not so good for the pocketbook or the environment. The stack is the only winner in this(prolonged life because less acid condense).

There’s nothing wrong with the condensing boiler concept. This is just one particular model with a poorly designed condensation drain. About every 2 to 3 years they need a thorough cleaning, however. That’s more often than the non condensing boilers need. Other than that, there’s nothing to gripe about. On a small house, you may not save enough to make up for the more frequent servicing plus the extra installation costs. But over 2000 square feet house in american upper midwest and new england winters the savings is plenty to justify it.

Condensing boilers are stainless so there’s no problem with the products of combustion condensing in the boiler, and condensing boilers don’t use a stack or a chimney. They use PVC out the side of the house just like high efficiency furnaces do.

Another hoax perpetrated by the Greenies!
Traditional heating systems work well enough—so if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

"Condensing boilers are stainless so theres no problem with the products of combustion condensing in the boiler"
"creation of acidic water vapor from the dissolved nitrogen and sulfur oxides which corrode the delicate system components"
I guess stainless steel isn't what it used to be.
