Raise Taxes To Save Net Zero – CCC
May 23, 2025
By Paul Homewood
The Climate Change Committee has finally admitted that their Net Zero policies have made electricity unaffordable.
The Telegraph report:
Ed Miliband must consider raising taxes or gas bills if the UK is to have any hope of hitting net zero, the Government’s climate change quango has warned.
To ensure his flagship policy succeeds, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) said the Energy Secretary needs to remove green levies from household power costs.
However, to pay for this, it said the levies should be shifted onto gas bills or covered by general taxation. The quango stopped short of saying which one it preferred.
The quango said it was concerned that high electricity prices were preventing households from buying heat pumps and electric cars, which in turn was holding back the green energy transition
