Still interesting to read the fall out of this. So in short, targets set by the current government were unattainable, so they u-turned. But rather than sensibly admit that the UK has no way of meeting those targets, regretfully apologising and setting out better strategy, they have tried to somehow politicise this as some weird anti-environmentalist coup. And people are buying this shit!
Some sensible feedback heard on the radio by people in the know, and on here, like the fact that the grid isn't ready for the amount of electrification yet.
'They' were never going to come around and rip out your boiler. Or take your car away. But it will be interesting to forecast/gauge oil and fuel over the coming years.
I still remember some chap on another forum, who had put panels on his house, had enough electricity to run his house and fill his car, and still had leftovers to sell back to the grid. He was laughing.
And as for the Tories trying to paint this as: we have more pressing issues like getting inflation down, after they sank the economy, it's pretty laughable. Sure there's a whole litany of other issues and problems, and you can whatabout any or all of them. But a progressive government should look at the long term sustainability of all. And hopefully look beyond just focusing on our small islands needs.
Sunak comes out with bollocks like: the NHS isn't working because Doctors are striking.
