The grinch will be very happy this Christmas in Ireland, due to all the chimneys that have been blocked off and or removed entirely, as part of "environmental retrofitting" policies. Although it does make sense to add insulation to houses to stop heat escaping to save energy waste, it does not make sense to take out stoves and fireplaces on the basis that electricity will *always* be available to provide heat with.
