Should councils scrap net-zero targets to save money?
Kent County Council has replaced its 2030 net-zero target with an energy-efficiency plan, claiming the original goal was unattainable and poor value for residents. Reform UK, which calls Kent its model for national government, has pledged to scrap the UK’s 2050 net-zero target and end subsidies for renewables. Scientists warn the window to limit warming to 1.5 °C is rapidly closing.
