Sounds like a lot of good business opportunities to me (private rehab
centers and courses etc.) :-)

The ever expanding suburbs and remote
shopping centres have killed local transport and local shopping/
services facilities by concentrating them only where there is maximum
foot traffic thanks to vast and wasteful heat island car parks devoid
of shade, shelter and having serious local drainage/flooding problems.

Ya, agreed. Mind you, all shops are a waste of energy (they run
heating, pay asshats etc. all day long, just in case someone wants to
buy something. Stupid, just stupid. Far better to buy online and
have it delivered in their biodiesel trucks.

This habit denies access to shopping facilities for large numbers of
those without private transport for their most basic needs forcing the
elderly into homes and hospitals instead of offering them independence
to enjoy their retirement.

They could keep their independence by purchasing everything online. I
have everything delivered -- the delivery cost is offset by not
needing a car, so I save big. No need for car parks, no bags, no
shops with heating/lighting requirements etc. so environment saves
big, too.

This could be safely and easily stored in low
temperature floor heating mats overnight and in winter.
It would require that the wind power and heating mats were
charged for at low cost to the consumer to ensure a large take-up for
maximum energy efficiency.

Don't you have electric storage heaters and "Economy 7" tariffs in
Denmark?
