Labour's net zero plans, spearheaded by Keir Starmer, are facing significant criticism from various quarters. Tory Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho has warned that these plans, which aim to convert Britain to clean power by 2030, risk leading to blackouts and public unrest. The policy has been described as unrealistic and a threat to energy security. Experts have also voiced concerns, questioning the logic behind penalizing firms to help set up GB Energy. The debate underscores the broader challenges and skepticism surrounding the feasibility and impact of net zero initiatives in the UK.

Whether Conservative or Labour, all 'net zero' plans promise blackouts and unrest. The six words that describe 'net zero': 1. Impossible 2. Unaffordable 3. Undesirable 4. Pointless 5. Suicidal 6. Genocidal https://t.co/HMkYUqAKKD @ClaireCoutinho @camillahmturner
