Many of us have been pointing out the lunacy of net zero for years
Letters to the Editor
WHAT the usual media pundits appear to have missed, whether intentionally or not, when moaning about PM Rishi Sunak’s pause in the rush to net zero, is the massive significance of his admission that the 2019 UK government decision to legislate for net zero was taken in complete ignorance of what it was going to cost.
He says that that concerned him as (then) Chief Secretary to the Treasury, but clearly, he and others were pushed along by Johnson, the PM, together with other eco-zealots. The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, also recently stated that the PM and his government were pausing in order “not to bankrupt Britain in the rush to net zero”. So, the British government has finally had the courage to admit that the net-zero policy will bankrupt the nation, but the PM is still so afraid of the green lobby that he has only postponed that bankruptcy by five years to 2035. If that happened, Jersey would be next.
Let me help Mr Sunak to steel his backbone.
Many of us have been pointing out the sheer lunacy of net zero for several years.
With a five-year breather we may be saved from this madness and from the inevitable bankruptcy of the UK, and with it Jersey, just in time – but I’m not optimistic.
Our politicians have shown no inclina-tion whatsoever to wake up and smell the coffee.
