Heat pumps
Sir, — Re your editorial of February 15, the “well-being of the country as a whole” could best be served if one or more car assembly factories were immediately closed, and the facilities converted to the manufacture of air-to-air heat pumps for domestic and industrial space-heating. With the potential use of at least one heat pump per home, this could keep many persons in useful employment and promote the efficient use of electricity, our own indigenous, clean air, energy source. This aim of a heat pump in every home could lower the electricity system’s peak demands and possibly even render the Clyde dam unnecessary. — Yours, etc.,
R. G. WEIR. February 16, 1983.
