Sam Hall, Director of the Conservative Environment Network, responded to the Reform’s plan for net zero:
“Reform’s statist plan to put new taxes and red tape on British energy would cause household bills to skyrocket and pull the rug on energy firms. We should be unleashing homegrown energy that can make us more energy secure and self-reliant, not blocking new supply and decimating investor confidence.
“Energy bills are too high and must come down. But the problem is not net zero, it is our reliance on expensive gas imports and excessive government intervention in energy markets. To lower bills, we should let the market lead, back innovation, and remove barriers to private sector investment. Reform’s plan is not credible, takes us in the wrong direction, and would leave our children and grandchildren poorer and less secure.”
