How credible is the publications accusation? In the UK in the last 30 years practically no electrical equipment using SF6 as an insulator has been 'recycled' because it generally has a long life. Are they saying China's equipment is different? They don't say how they calculated the 30%.

EPA says repealing power plant emissions rules will save billions – but its estimate leaves out health and climate costs
A gas- and coal-fired power plant in Indiana sits right next to a residential area. Scott Olson/Getty Images by Akshaya Jha, Carnegie Mellon University The Trump administration is repealing federal rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants. It says the changes will make electricity cheaper for Americans. What consumers pay will depend partly on the cost of keeping older plants running compared with building and operating new ones.

Charlie Downes, Campaigns Director of Lowe's Restore Britain, sees Reform's fatal flaw as accepting ethnic minorities as British "You have to recognise that millions of legal immigrants must go too, including passport holders. Otherwise just arguing for demographic replacement at a slower speed"
At some point Reform will have to decide what their position on Britishness is.

They can’t continue to say anyone with a British passport is British and then say Britain won’t exist if we don’t deport millions of people.

Which is it?

Deporting illegals and criminals only gets us so far in restoring demographic security.

At some point, you have to recognise that millions of legal immigrants must go too, including passport holders. 

Otherwise you are just arguing for demographic replacement at a slower speed.

Reform are stuck between a Blairite vision of Britishness and a nationalist vision. The doublespeak on this topic can’t last much longer. They have no coherence on the central issue of our age.

Heat pumps reduce gas consumption, gas is largely imported from places that pose a defence threat (including the US). They also shift heating to electricity, boosting support for renewables, grid updates etc.
