“Technology Won’t Allow UK To Be A Manufacturing Superpower” | Net Zero Ambitions For Britain
TalkTV 
The UK’s leading business group warns that without a green industrial strategy, the country risks missing out on economic growth. According to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), sustainable industries like renewables have seen significant growth, attracting crucial private investment.
Despite commitments to reach net zero emissions by 2050, setbacks include Labour retracting its £28 billion green investment pledge, while the Conservative Party criticizes climate policies.
Transitioning to a net zero economy requires changes in various sectors, with businesses like solar panel installers contributing significantly, adding £74 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2022-23.
Peter Cardwell speaks with leader of the Climate party, Ed Gemell and professor of economics, Ralph Schoellhammer.

Cashless clowns probably trust this government but can you trust a future government when you’ve no financial control.
Green ideology will make a few people rich and the rest of us much poorer, green energy as to be massively subsidised they are hiding true figures 😮 solar panels and turbines are coming from China so it’s jobs for them not us 🙄
Net zero is walking of a cliff celebrating 😂 keep dreaming eco-clowns.
Green bollox
The uk will be a prison in the future
Really, stop wasting our time with this political theatre fgs. It's all by design, part of the WEF Davos great reset agenda 21-30, you will own nothing and be happy brigade klaus Schwab, which involves big tech, big Pharma Globalists, Banksters you name it. All info on alternative media, don't try to Google it, it's censored to the hilt.
As backed by the nasty public
Sustainable industries are growing by imposing on the public additional costs and receiving governments grants and other support. What we are seeing is energy shortages and tripling of energy costs which is certainly holding the economy back and consumer spending is falling off a cliff. The renewables industry is a catastrophic failure which they are hiding from the public. As for new opportunities, yes but not here, they will be created in China.
No, £70 000 for this sort refurbishment on a house is not 'vast' and extraordinary at all. In Germany home owners are facing costs from up £200 000. The only people who make the money is not the state, but the companies and organisations who initiated this crazy business plan. Another great hint that this new technology, which has been around for decades, is not as good as we're being promised, is that it needs to be subsidies by government aka ourselves, as the money is coming out of what we tax payers have paid in, in the first place. So stop fooling people, but pretending to be generously helpful. If this technology was so brilliant, cost effective and efficient, then everybody would already have it and there'd be no need to enforce the instalment of it. Just stop lying! Instead, be transparent and let the public know how much you have personally invested with these companies.
This Burke cannot do the sums. 26 million homes, 10 million solid walls, 40 million EVs. , 25 million boilers Gas power stations, 4900. Nuclear power stations 59 twin reactors. £70 billion each. New Grid @ 3 trillion , houses new mains, large buildings 1 million @ 50 million. On average, battery backup £30 trillion not going to happen. This idiot has not a clue how we are many miles from thiś and how much it will cost. We are skint. the country is skint? He hasn’t a clue about the engineering needs or the materials or the staff and labour needs. We need to instal 1 million heat pumps per annum till 2050. 24 000 installers needed. We have 1,400.
Ed's right about thinking longterm and making an effort to be at the front of the drive towards Net Zero. That's where future profits reside.
If there was an opportunity, the business would have taken it. If you need government subsidies, then the project is not commercially viable. I agree with the goal of net 0 (the carbon dioxide levels are 430ppm now, up from about 300ppm pre-industrial levels, and I know that when they are at about 650-700 at my home, I feel suffocating. So we should definitely stop them rising. However, UK's only opportunity in Net Zero is unlikely to be manufacturing, I think it will be technologies and innovative finance. We just don't have enough labour for manufacturing. We need to do home insulation at a large scale and this may help to develop necessary technologies that we can then export. But insulating by itself is not a business opportunity. Britain is just so much behind the insulation technology, that it's a pure internal expense. Just look at the buildings in Germany, France and even Russia, Sweden and Finland. Thick walls, full of insulation. Ours are paper thin, old single brick walls. We need to catch up in this space first.
Mexico is currently having a economic boom. It's buys cheap gas from the fracking the USA is doing. We went down the failed net zero wind and solar energy scam. The wind turbines by my I never see moving most of the year. Millions wasted. We should be fracking, nuclear power and if coal is needed for are own steel, we burn it. Sadly the pleb public will vote in Labour and as always things will et worse before they get better. You mark my words my. Fellow Brits are some of the most politically, socially and economically thick people in Europe. Manufacturing booms when energy is CHEAP. that's by fracking for are own gas. It's supply and demand based, which means we can force down energy prices. Anyone who says it won't is lying. Shouldn't be trusted. Wait until the plebs notice a self harming net zero UK dosent stop extreme weather events. The amount of people I have to explain it too is not acceptable. Seriously vote reformuk or any independent who's against this net zero rubbish.
This man is a Just Stop Oil extremist, talking about silly net poo poo.
More of this and less of the mental activists!!!!
92% of GDP under net zero commitment ?
Tell me more about this ideological capture without proving ideological capture.
Half of the hydrogen energy dont get lost when you use it in the steel plant, 100% is being used. He is just wrong.
Need update little bit tech it can be done(not solar or wind..other)…
Government weak… so people should do it
British need new think.. other word.. what have must discard
Net zero nuts only for people not updated tech
Already have and they laughing to people… that do not know
Come on heat pump where to put😂
