DATELINE 1 APRIL, 2019: Thinking about the laws that are likely to change post-EU, the most significant from an energy standpoint are the laws of science, meaning it is likely that:

1. fuels will become susceptible to magnetism, enabling even more complete combustion than can be obtained through proper maintenance;
2. the internal metallic layers in multi-foil insulation will be able to reflect heat back through the adjoining insulant and out through the surface foil;
3. heating-water additives will enable radiators to heat up quicker but release heat more slowly;
4. boiler anti-cycling devices that cut fuel consumption during periods of low load will do the same under medium and high load conditions which account for the majority of annual fuel consumption;
5. insulating paints will be as effective as conventional insulation materials that are 4,000 times thicker;
6. temperature sensors in freezers will respond more accurately and rapidly when encased in a cube of gel;
7. putting solar panels in refrigeration circuits will enable even more heat to be pumped out with the same electrical input;
8. ‘kinetic’ pavements will generate enough energy to power a display showing how many steps passing people have taken; and
9. voltage-reduction devices will enable electrical equipment to perform the same work with lower energy input, and will themselves no longer incur standing power losses.
