UK Energy Secretary plans to slash "boiler tax" to £500, reducing costs for new boilers.

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband plans to cut a "boiler tax" from £1,200 to £500, reducing the cost of new boilers by £20 instead of £120. The policy shift aims to avoid passing "net zero" costs to consumers while still requiring 6% of boiler sales to be heat pumps. This move comes after backlash against the original policy, which aimed to push the UK towards cleaner energy use.
