Indeed.His name was Alex and is, orwas an adviser to the dept of climate change.he was spouting the usual impossible nonsense that weneed to stop heating houses with gas and use 'efficient'electricity instead.One of the presenters reminded him that her nan heated herhouse with storage heaters which he dismissed as 'inefficient'.Surely all forms of direct electric heating is 100% efficient ?.

You're welcome to gallons of water dumped in your room, plus the need for cold air ventilation to act as a flue in all but name.

Thanks, but I don't want it. Just pointing out they're 100% efficient. All rooms have fresh air intake btw, sometimes what's already there is adequate.
