Insulate Britain - my final comments
This will be last time I comment on matters about Insulate Britain, i'm bored senseless of going round in circles and quite frankly it's not my job to defend them - i'd much rather talk about good restaurants and what I had for dinner!I will however say this, the government’s own Committee on Climate Change has made clear that reductions in carbon emissions from housing have “stalled” and that “we cannot meet our climate objectives without a major improvement in UK housing”. The CCC also states that “given the scale of the challenge this work must be viewed and supported by the treasury as a national infrastructure priority”I think the above is pretty clear, it says the work needs to be done and the government needs to pay for it. As for the, 'why should tax payers have to cough up for this' argument... well we will have to cough up for all the climate change mitigation at some point, this is just one part of it. I don't remember being asked if i wanted to help pay £37 billion for a track and trace system that doesnt work and I don't like subsidising fossil fuel companies to keep killing the planet but we are where we are.And on that note, i'm going eat my soup. Tomato and 3 bean if anyone is interested ;)
