    Winter heating remains an issue for many. This came up on boards last winter. Out here (offshore island) we burn turf. I buy mine from my neighbour who cuts it himself.So no travel fumes and it supports the island economy.
    The alternative is bringing in coal; Polish coal is the most available so a hefty transport issue .

    The alternative is the state helping pay for a serious retrofitting scheme plus subsidising heat pumps and solar PV.

    In case there was any doubt of the poor air quality, at least in Dublin the EPA published some damning figures today: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2019/0708/1060952-nitrogen-oxide/
