英国能源部长埃德·米利班德表示, 没有计划在2035年之前禁止燃气炉, UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband says no plans to ban gas boilers by 2035, citing consumer costs.

联合王国能源秘书Ed Miliband指出,没有计划到2035年禁止燃气锅炉,并提到担心,如果热泵等更绿色的替代品尚未降低价格,消费者可能付出的代价。 UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband stated that there are no plans to ban gas boilers by 2035, citing concerns over the potential cost to consumers if greener alternatives like heat pumps are not yet cheaper. 上届政府曾计划在2035年之前禁止新的燃气锅炉,但已减至80%的淘汰。 The previous government had planned to ban new gas boilers by 2035, but it was reduced to an 80% phase-out. 批评者认为,新的锅炉税可能会提高消费者的价格,因为制造商可能会对消费者实施罚款。 Critics argue that a new boiler tax could increase prices for consumers as manufacturers might pass fines onto them.
