Mr. Hands

As most of you should know, I will watch any old slop that YouTube serves me, so when a video titled "They banned my super cheap heating! 😡 New Diesel heater hacks tested proving efficiency and safety 🤯" shows up on my homepage I am intrigued, mystified, aroused even. But watching this video is unsettling, in that something horrible lurks just outside your vision. Here's someone who recommends installing a diesel generator for your home's central heating and running it on the kerosene that you keep in a 500-liter barrel in your garden. And "the government" wants to keep this simple solution from you because it's supposedly "dangerous" to do if you don't take care to ventilate the space properly. There are much better and safer ways to heat a home. You'd have to be insane to do this. Or desparate. Throughout the video, we're swirling around a topic without giving it a proper name. The UK is in a deep energy crisis that is only getting worse.
