  1. Not dangerously dependent but foolishly going down that road, we can still use fossil fuels for transport (China does use carbon and is the biggest polluter at 29%, US 20%, Australia just over 1%, UK less than 1%) and new nuclear along with renewables when they are cheaper and widely available not when we are going to be dependent on another dictator country, we all known what is going to happen in that regard. The imposition on dates for renewable energy transfer is a false construct and will increase prices to an extent to ensure that the COP (Out) plans will not work. Hosting the COP climate change in Dubai has shown that the carbon producers (Who had the biggest delegations in COP previously) have taken control of that enterprise and the deleting of carbon to be phased out from the charter confirms that (Although carbon will in actual fact be used up until the end of the century anyway it was unrealistic to think that it could be totally replaced). The transition from Carbon to Renewables (Not Green as some of them are green only because they are so toxic!) Should be carried out as like with horse and carts to steam and then petrol by economic factors only, not by political intervention on prices, this is having a backlash as it's unaffordable by the majority. For example my old back boiler packed in (30 years service) and it was replace that with a gas boiler, £2,000 tops, or have solar, battery back up, insulation and an air source heat pump £60,000), so funny enough it was replace the gas boiler, later on I will insulate the outside walls internally (£3,000) and it will never pay me back to go "green" in the remainder of my lifetime!?!
