The induction hob cooking method uses electromagnetism to create a magnetic
field between the pan, which needs to have a high iron content, and a coil
beneath the glass top. Electricity is passed through a copper coil magnet
within the induction hob, creating electromagnetic energy.

new housing estates and flats should be kept warm by networks of hot water,


It’s how Moscow is heated, with steam.
The Soviet Union would be pleased to help.

King county and the Seattle area will regret this decision when it becomes clear in a few years that this winter’s snow and ice are not a fluke but a warning of colder weather to come in the coming decades. Scientist’s are predicting that the world-wide source of warming, the sun, is going into a cooling phase that will result in a “little ice age” similar to that in the 1700’s and 1800’s. Good luck with renewables when solar panels are covered with snow and wind turbines fronzen. Unicorn farts don’t provide much energy.

Talk about inefficient — how much more electrical energy must be generated to cook your food than is necessary by a gas flame. And that energy comes from where - unicorn farts??

new-build homes in the countryside

High cost living in the cities accounts for 80% of pollution. The socialists should focus on that and don't worry themselves about the last 20%. They don't have the votes in the countryside and would have to use force. Further, if socialists want food, water, fuel, heat, electricity, consumer products to buy, and a military defense, it's best not to drop the socialist bomb on the people they depend on.

Yup...I’m wondering if before I die, the Columbia River will freeze again as it did in the early 1900s

NY City is still steam heated on a mass scale.

If the factories haven’t found a way to use that energy, they’re surely not going to find a way to use that energy miles away!

Exactly. It’s where hobgoblins are from.

“The water could be heated by waste heat from industry.”

Sure. I’m not stupid, so don’t try that kind of thing on me. The cost of creating and maintaining a system to channel warm water from factories to houses is enormous and unreasonable. For every new house built you’ll have to run insulated pipes under the ground. For every factory that closes you’ll have huge costs to disconnect from the system. Factories don’t always operate 24/7. Think of the added costs to factories.

The one who proposed this should be in a padded cell with no sharp objects.

Fukishima can provide waste heat.

They want new-build homes in the countryside to be warmed by heat pumps - and cooking done on induction hobs, rather than using gas boilers and hobs.

Guess who’s pimping climate change and stands to make mega money off of it.
Duh climate change folks still on the march.

I Hob is what you make gears with, I guess they would make heat, but it would be messy to cook over.

When they need electricity they peddle the bike. When they need heat they peddle the bike.

The bike won't do much good if they sell it.

I’m jealous to find out that new homes in the UK countryside HAVE the option of natural gas hook up? Where in the USA can some one living in the “countryside” do that? Certainly no place I’ve ever lived. We (country homes) are forced to by LP propane which is the biggest rip off going.

Industry? What industry? That’ll be out-lawed as well..
