From the same Sky News link as the ‘Confidence in Truss’ thread.
/Government launches review into net zero plan
The government has launched a review into its plan to reach net zero by 2050.
The inquiry will be led by Tory MP Chris Skidmore, noted for his support of environmental matters.
The government says it still remains committed to reaching net zero carbon by 2050.
Last week, the government announced it would start allowing shale gas extraction - fracking - to go ahead.
But Mr Skidmore, speaking to the FT, warned investors that the industry was a "non-starter".
He said people would be better off giving their money to renewable energy projects rather than going to fracking and being left with "stranded assets".
Mr Skidmore added that comments by a former boss of fracking company Cuadrilla sounded a "death blow" for the industry.
The Cuadrilla founder said there was no chance of fracking taking off in the UK in the short term because of geological challenges.
Energy secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg gave his full-throated support to fracking in the Commons last week, saying it would be good for energy independence./
Who exactly is running the Tory party and deciding on policy atm? It’s like watching ants running around on a path as the boiling hot kettle is being summoned!

For the wishful thinking who want to see it but are of course NIMBY’s.

i have posted this link on several fracking threads but it does bear repeating... fracking is unlikely to help with the energy crisis because best estimates suggest the UK has enough shale gase to meet less than ten years of energy consumption... and such gas as there is is very deep and expensive to extract... even producing it at all will take years and the benefits will be short lived...

as far as i can see nobody has produced more authoritative research on the subject…
some fracking companies claim that 50 year deposits are available but they would say that wouldn't they!
