As obnoxious as she is, Therese Coffey, she did make some valid points. About the need to eat seasonal and locally sourced produce. Also the fact that we in the UK have "one of the lowest proportions of incomes being spent on food" in Europe.

To an extent, in my last place I had a good size garden with a veg plot and a fair size greenhouse and what was left of an orchard, fruit and veg was plentiful. Does that mean I shouldn’t be able to access out of season fruit and veg?

One of the real questions regarding glass houses is that whilst most are built down south probably due to more sunlight.

 

Why aren't they built next to existing power stations to utilise the waste heat that's usually just dumped into the nearest river ?.

 

Even London fails to resurrect the 1900s steam pipework and heat pipework from Battersea power station.

I’ve no idea, even on a tiny scale heat recovery works well, a friend of mine heats his water from the exhaust of his diesel heater in his camper.
