  1. Going net zero is in the national interest it would provide cheaper energy and give businesses a competitive advantage But hey that needs vision and infrastructure investment and doesn't let the energy companies bleed us dry

  2. its about industrial strategy 1st to net zero will dominate the next industrial age its about investment and controlling your own energy costs completely visionless and hollow is all I've got to say not investing in infrastructure is akin to signing up for another RAAC and Sewage scandal

  3. EV's achieved parity with ICE cars this year and will get cheaper Doing nothing and not building the necessary infrastructure will damage uk productivity even further, reliance on fossil is already bleeding 100's of billions out of the economy

  5. we can't afford not to 1st to net zero will dominate the next industrial age its about investment and controlling your own energy costs

  6. no we don't it's just so they can excuse not investing in Infrastructure, renewables reached parity price wise with gas in 2019 and EV car prices reached parity this year

  7. They reached price parity without subsidies this year and we've only just started the drive to economies of scale The 1st country to net zero will have a huge competitive business advantage

  8. Just an excuse to not invest stagnant britain stagnates further So fk1n short sighted its on a par with the RAAC and sewage scandals

  9. EV's reached parity with ICE on price this year and will continue to get cheaper Doing nothing now means no infrastructure to support the transition affecting UK economic output even further making us even more uncompetitive and reducing productivity. Once parity is achieved and the estimates are we've a way to go before the true bottom of ev costs are reached ICE sales will collapse

  10. It doesn't cost a fortune spending on net zero isn't a sunk cost here I'll explain Capital costs of renewables I have solar thermal panels for hot water it will repay its capital cost in energy price saving at the current rate +5% energy inflation in 5 - 6 years After year 6 I will save 17% of my energy bill for a minimum of an additional 14 years I spend +8% of build costs on my extension on A+ windows, double insulation (using superfoil internal skin) + run underfloor heating estimate repayment on lower energy costs of a conventional build is 8-10 years but at current rates its probably going to be 5 the space loses around 2 degrees heat every 6-8 hours @blackcatdungeonmastersfami5311
