Abstract

The Johnson Government is in the process of rebranding its policy on net-zero as a quest for energy independence from Putin’s Russia, writes Derrick Wyatt, which may lead to a short-term emphasis on domestic oil and gas production, but increased focus on nuclear and renewables. This will all be consistent with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which is a key commitment in the UK’s trade deal with the EU. Nigel Farage’s call for a referendum on net-zero by 2050 is likely to fall by the wayside.
