Political Support for Net Zero Cracking
It is certainly encouraging that the political wind has changed direction. It is also interesting that now it is socially acceptable for mainstream commentators to cast doubt on the Net Zero agenda. However, no action has yet been taken to dismantle Net Zero policies or legislation. So far, it is simply a softening of rhetoric and not an actual change of policy. In fact just a few days ago, the Government announced a £22m increase in the budget allocated to renewables in Allocation Round 5 (AR5). Plus, granting new North Sea licenses is not the same as actually approving an exploration or development programme.
However, now that the cracks are appearing, it is important that we drive wedges into the cracks and hammer them home so that the Net Zero edifice collapses. It is surely untenable that any Government can continue with these policies in defiance of such strong public opposition. Eventually, physics, economics and democracy will triumph over political dogma. We can only hope the eventual victory comes before too much more damage is done.
