Energy Supply & Blackouts: Questions the Media Are Not Asking.

Questions I'd like to ask are:

Why are we pressing ahead with Net Zero, when it's quite clear the policy will price energy out of the reach of the poorest in society?

Is the government going to suspend or ease the Net Zero policy given it is increasing the burden on the poor?

Given the above, if the Government continues to press ahead with Net Zero, is the end game population reduction? Are the government prepared to accept that people will die off over the winter as they cannot afford to heat their homes?

If the government are not willing to sacrifice lives as a direct result of the Net Zero policy, how many lives lost is too many?

If they are not actually prepared for part of the population to die off over winter, what exactly are the government planning to do? Especially given that doing nothing will result in deaths, I assume doing nothing is not an option.

If the government do want to save lives and intervene, what will they do? Will they cut fuel duty and/or VAT? 

Given that this affects everyone and not just those on benefits, are the government considering including the working poor in any additional help, above the removal of VAT and duty?

What provisions do the government have if there are blackouts this winter? Provision for the elderly and infirm? Will the government provide warm facilities where people can stay and not freeze?

Will the government accept that the net zero policy is incompatible with energy affordability for the poor?

Will the government scrap or modify their policy so that the poor are not adversely affected?

Will the government agree that any government policy that doesn't care for the poorest and most vulnerable in society is at best untenable and at worst criminal?

If there are numbers of deaths this winter due to people not being able to heat their homes, would the government resign?
