Can't Afford Net Zero: It's Off To The Gulag For You!

 The Government's latest Net Zero efforts encompassed by the Latest Energy legislation show where things are going. 

The Government's latest Energy Bill proposes creating a number of new criminal offences. The first, where homeowners supply false information might seem fair, but what if they can't provide accurate information?

For instance if the government require you to provide information regarding the insulation properties of your house, or anything of a technical nature? How many BTUs does it take to heat your home to a certain temperature, or to maintain a certain temperature? Yeah, I've no idea either. Any law that relies on tripping you up because you don't know the answer, or the answer could be one of several options depending on how you measure is bad law. 

Are you going to be prosecuted for going over your yearly energy allowance? 

Without clarity - and I mean Laser focussed clarity where the options are unambiguous, where the results could be open to interpretation, then it should not be law.

Where the choice between using a wood burning stove to stave off hypothermia or going to jail are options, then that's bad law.

This needs to be nipped in the bud now.

The choice should not be between heating, hypothermia or jail.
