Good news: In 8 years, electricity generation from non-fossil-fuel sources (including nuclear) rose by 44%
Bad news: In the same period, global electricity output increased 23% and generation by fossil fuels reached an all-time peak.
Net zero not zero.
At least on paper the 2030 share change is small compared to the previous Gov's goal. The problem with both is they don't have a credible delivery plan.
I guess I misunderstood.
"Labour will take up to £1,400 off the annual household bill and £53 billion off energy bills for businesses by 2030, by delivering a cheaper, zero-carbon electricity system by 2030."
I took that to mean we would have a 100% zero-carbon electricity system.
All the present net zero targets rely on tech that doesn't exist, doesn't work, hasn't scaled or won't be delivered by 2030. Essentially CCS and or BECCS.
But thats the least of the problems. The build speed for Rs is off track atm for 2035 let alone 30.
