I am a strong believer in cutting down on atmospheric and biospheric pollution for obvious reasons but I'm also a realist and pragmatist and not delusional like most militant Friends of the Green Freaks who simply don't comprehend what they're actually asking people to do and give up.
We have our resident JSO lunatics causing chaos but if we actually just stopped oil as they would have us do, the UK's economy would tank in a matter of weeks and even if we stitched off UK PLC tonight, it would be unlikely that the results of this extreme action would actually be measurable in the grand scheme of things in 12 months time.
I'm not saying they're wrong but we as a nation can't simply destroy our economy or get left behind in order to virtue signal to the rest of the world and set us up as an example unless our competitors act likewise. It's completely irrational irrespective of which side of the fence one sits.
The UK simply can't unilaterally save the planet with it's silly net zero aspirations, all that will accomplish is to harm the British economy and create a huge drop in living standards.
There is a plan to ban installation of gas in new properties from 2025. Fair enough I can understand why but I recently had to replace my aging gas boiler and the cost of replacing that with such as a heat pump was effectively prohibitive and from an economic POV where my funds are concerned and my brief attempts at research showed they would be simply unsuitable for the UK unless the costs of production and electricity needed to run heat pumps drops dramatically so for that reason I believe we are still a long way from implementing such laws which will harm our economy and ultimately the people of this country.
The whole issue of net zero needs a responsible re-think unless it's in synchronisation with the rest of the world otherwise we are just going to hamstring our own economy going forward and we already have enough issues without adding yet more.
