HENRY FOWLER and ROB POOLE explain the significance of today’s Megapicket
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.
Worcester Bosh was marketing its gas boilers as “hydrogen blend-ready.” It implied they are “unique or special as they can run on a blend of up to 20 per cent hydrogen.” Worcester Bosch told customers they could “future-proof” themselves by buying its “hydrogen-enabled” boilers because this “green” fuel would be arriving soon.
