Inquiry report into ‘Building Support for the energy transition’ – Dr Rachel Connor

Finally, after almost a year, the UK Government have published their Inquiry report into ‘Building Support for the energy transition’

It’s a long and wordy document which takes determination and stamina to read, but if you’re interested, the conclusions are worth reading (p27). https://committees.parliament.uk/…/docu…/305189/default/

Comments from the public are included in the Annex (including mine at the end).

I think the UK Gov. have still not got the message… The UK contributes to @ 0.7% of global carbon emissions, Scotland much less than that.

We can kill our economy, destroy food producing land and ruin iconic landscapes and habitats in the quest to reach net zero and this will make no difference to the effects of climate change that the UK will experience. Despite the thousands of turbines and solar panels now speared into our once green and pleasant land and proud announcements that renewables now produce over 50% of the UK’s electricity, this summer saw heatwaves and crop losses blamed on man made climate change which is used in this report to illustrate the urgency that the UK needs to transition to Net Zero even faster!

Simple logic would say that more renewable generation and its infrastructure directly correlates with more severe climate change events in the UK!

In essence, this Inquiry Report blames the public for failing to get on board with Nat Zero idealogy as part of the failure of those policies to save the planet.

The answer? (one of them) is to re brand (re name) Net Zero so that it’s called something else so that we won’t mind suffering the adverse impacts so much.

I am left speechless.
