What is going to happen now that wood will no longer be used in houses? The chancellor stated today that in 10 years time, every new home will be a zero carbon home and we will be the first country in Europe to do this.

So what will be used in place of wood?

Made from? It's a bit of a problem, as that often has carbon in it. :cry:

His words were "zero carbon" that's why I quoted it. Or was this a blairite "slip of the tongue"? i.e. you can't believe a word these liars say.

When a tree grows it absorbs carbon dioxide to make the hydro-carbon material it is made from.

So grow trees, then use them for houses, lots of carbon locked away in the material of the house.

i think thats what he means as in measures taken to neutralise your carbon as bernardgreen says trees absorb co-2 so maybe that with heat pumps trippple glazing and using renewable energy will get the zero use required
 
As long as he doesn't put a CO2 tax on fizzy lemonade, fire extinguishers and the gas in beer kegs.....

Ooops he knows now.......
