Observations

One question must surely be whether the cart has been put before the horse. In the government’s rush to Net Zero, did anyone consider that perhaps the supply of electricity should have been sorted before an insistence that all new cars should be electric by 2035?

We also question the huge fines facing the UK motor industry if their new cars are not all electric by 2035. This will affect UK manufacturers but how does the government propose to regulate foreign firms?

General questions about New Zero

Below we reiterate the list of questions we raised in previous reports on this topic.

• When did we ever vote to have a single issue dominate our lives in such a way?
• Who decided all of this?
• Where is the cost benefit analysis promised by the Government?
• Just how much is all this costing us already and by how much will it increase further?
• How indebted will we, our children, and our grandchildren be as a result of the rush to Net Zero?
• What about the greenhouse emissions from all the energy and products we now import?
• Have we simply exported our carbon emissions to other countries around the globe with less scruples?
• Why is the UK, a tiny emitter of greenhouse gases, in the vanguard of the world when it will make almost no difference to the planet what we do?
• How is it possible to reduce our traditional way of generating electricity by so much, so quickly, without risking blackouts?
• Are some of the reliable experts right when they say we will not have a sufficient amount of electricity generated from renewables by 2035?
• What happens if the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow?
• What happens if foreign suppliers of electricity by undersea cables simply cut off our supply because of their own needs?
• By how much are our electricity bills going to rise even further than they already have?
• Exactly how much has the replacement of traditional electricity production cost us so far, and how much more will it cost?
• Finally, with the percentage dropping by another 5% in 2023, what happened to Mr Sunak's promise to slow down?

We are not experts in the climate change debate – our focus has mainly been on what the EU is NOT doing, but we have a healthy concern that the UK - previously energy self-sufficient – will soon find itself unable to provide basic energy sources for electricity generation and other energy needs.
