Manufacturers have been silenced

Stories abound of the stupidity (to steal a Reform UK phrase) of Net Zero, from shipping the coking coal for the ‘nationalised’ steel works from Poland rather than mining it in the UK, to the import of vast quantities of wooden pellets for the Drax power station from north America. The much-vaunted green revolution has been a disappointment across the board. Notoriously, the UK endures the highest electricity prices in Europe, and jobs, tax revenues and profits have being exported to the other side of the world.
UK business – particularly manufacturers are suffering badly, but surprisingly they not only remain silent about what is happening, but continue to parrot the mantra of Net Zero.
Why?
We can draw parallels with the way things like trans issues and DEI became the ‘flavour of the month’, but were then surreptitiously embedded into the policies and procedures of businesses and organisations everywhere. Once there, their advocates ensured that anyone speaking out against them was immediately referred to HR for ‘retraining’ or simply fired. In other words, everyone knew the stupidity of the policies, but nobody would speak out for fear of retribution.
