THIS month the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had to tell Worcester Bosch, Britain’s favourite boilermaker, to stop saying big, fat green fibs about its boilers.
It’s a little story that shows how corporate Britain too often responds to “net-zero” calls with made-up stories about using more energy through speculative technologies that don’t really exist, rather than looking at existing, workable energy conservation plans.
