Even in the United Kingdom opposition is growing against the insane Green “decarbonization” schemes pushed by the British Monarchy and its financiers. A lead story in The Sunday Telegraph last weekend trumpeted: “Prime Minister’s Push for Net Zero Plunged into Chaos.” The subhead explained: “Treasury review delayed over fears families will end up footing the bill for the green agenda.”
The story is that the UK Treasury Ministry had prepared a report on the estimated costs of implementing Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s “net zero carbon emissions” policy, which includes such mandates as requiring households to replace all gas boilers and petroleum-fueled cars with electric-powered equivalents. It was to have been released last Spring, but it’s finding that the poorest British households cannot afford what they must nonetheless implement, and that is deemed too politically explosive.
Rishi Sunak, the Treasury Chancellor, “is said to be increasingly concerned about a looming crisis over the cost of living for British households, as the country faces the triple threat of rocketing energy bills, the potential for rising prices as a result of inflation, and an as-yet unspecified suite of policies to enable the country to meet the net zero target,” the paper reported.
