[Rishi Sunak is considering weakening
some of the government's key
green commitments in a major policy shift.
It could include delaying a ban on the sales
of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing
out gas boilers,
multiple sources have told the BBC.

The PM is preparing to set out the changes
in a speech in the coming days.

There is no suggestion that Mr Sunak
is considering abandoning the legal
commitment to reach net zero carbon
emissions by 2050.
But he is expected to declare that other countries
need to bear more of the burden of
dealing with climate change.

If Mr Sunak presses ahead with
the plan it would represent a significant shift
in the Conservative Party's approach
to net zero policy, as well as establishing
a clear dividing line with the Labour Party.]

[Oliver_W]

Not surprised in the least.

Not that the current plans were particularly green anyway.

First thing tories do when they're hurt, is look for a way to screw over future generations.

Not unexpected from Fishy Sunak but it's wrong in my view.

[bitontheslide]

i think its the right move. Getting rid of gas boilers is hugely expensive and electric cars aren't fit for purpose yet

[Oliver_W]

While Drax's method of tree-powered stations is held above cleaner and greener methods like nuclear, no-one has the right to call themselves or their methods green.
