Net Zero Watch has welcomed the news that Claire Coutinho has told a conference of entrepreneurs that energy policy is ‘at a fork in the road’.
The Energy Secretary described ‘an ever-increasing and narrowing set of targets…and a net zero leviathan of central planning’, saying that it would crush the economy.
The campaigning organisation’s director Andrew Montford said that if the Government was going to move away from irrational Net Zero policies, it was certainly good news, but warned that Coutinho needed to translate words into action as a matter of urgency, noting the parlous state in which decarbonisation policy had left the motor sector:
‘If we are to save UK car manufacturing, Claire Coutinho has to cancel the Zero Emissions Vehicle Mandate for good, and soon.’
