The UK government has announced a range of initiatives aimed at meeting its net-zero targets, including investments in electric vehicles, green finance, and offshore wind.
However, critics have described the announcements as a “half-baked rehash” of existing commitments and are concerned about the lack of new funding.
The government has also faced criticism for not doing enough to insulate homes and for continuing to license new oil and gas fields in the North Sea.

@0:05 That boy’s barnet is just spectacular! If that’s not a syrup, kudos!
Let’s say that the UK made it to net zero this week. What will be the global outcome?
Keep in mind the following.
FACT UK total emissions in 2021 was 353 million tonnes, an increase of 21 million tonnes.
FACT China emissions increase in 2021 was 550 million tonnes to give a grand total of 11.8 billion tonnes.
FACT UK emissions have declined 241 million tonnes since 1990.
FACT China emissions have increased 8.0 billion tonnes since 1990.
How do we transition to renewables?
How will it be achieved?
In what year will it be achieved?
What is the requirement?
How many wind turbines?
How many solar panels?
How many hydro dams?
How many whatever?
Where will it all be?
When will it be ready?
Keep in mind that this must be done worldwide. Also keep in mind that overall energy consumption in 2050 will be 50% more than it was in 2020.
What happens when there’s no wind?
What happens when it’s too windy?
What happens when there’s no sun?
If batteries are the solution-
What capacity is needed ?
How many are needed?
Where will they be?
When will they be installed?
If pumped hydro is the solution-
What capacity is needed ?
How many are needed?
Where will they be?
When will they be installed?
Also to be kept in mind –
Renewables currently provide 10% of energy. (It’s been that way for years.)
Hydro is 7%.
Solar is 1%.
Wind is 1%.
Others is 1%.
Nuclear is 5%.
Fossil fuels is 85%.
Blocking comments again.
Net zero is just extreme virtue signalling. Britain is trying to be first to reach net zero, pity its destroying the country trying to achieve the goal too quickly. I think we have a way to go Britain imported £117 billion worth of energy in 2022.
It's an impossible goal. Net zero requires us to change the way we live completely. Wake up!!!!
Poweup Britain with more Refugees and immigration, diversity is strength
Restricting the amount of plant nutrient CO2 into the atmosphere with the 2030, 2040 NetZero Policy combined with the reduction of manufacture of Nitrogen Fertilizers (WEF ESG Cop27 etc) will of course see the elimination of 50% of the Carbon Based Units on the Planet. Mass Starvation, Famine and hunger is part of their Alien Influenced plan.
Wallace and Gromit approve this message.
Net broke is what we are heading for what load of 💩
Is there a Prince Charles
Doors locked
By Pelosi,s Hammer!
The only reason Riche is doing this is because they were forced to by environmental groups who took them to court. Otherwise, they would not of bothered.
Can't Shapps aka Michael Green, is another recycled, talentless chump in billionaire Sunak's rat pack, government. Shapps previously resigned over a bullying scandal.
Try legalizing electric scooters that might be a good start
The great reset is destroying our economy.
Get fracking and use the resources under our feet.
Stop the Climate Cult
We are the carbon they want to reduce.
Co2 = PxSxExC
Sunak looks like a comedy character
No, it is enough to "power down the UK", literally!
Briefly sounded like some anti-American rhetoric @ 0:17. Use that same energy for Russia and China.
Where will the funding come from?
Get him out and Labour out now
A court should not be dictating our energy policy.
net zero should translate as treason
NO RUSSIAN PLAYERS SHOULDN'T PLAY ANY SPORTS WE SHOULD CAMPAIGN TO STOP THIS, SHAME ON THOSE TO LET THIS HAPPEN
SMR will wake up the British government and British people, sure
Does anything they do actually work? Answers on a postcard
Come on folks – who even believes this net zero rubbish they keep pushing on us to make us poor?
