You talked about consistency as well.

18 Jun 2025Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 734)

While not quite repeating Luke’s question, DESNZ looks in and listens to this Committee. I want to know what your advice and brief would be to the Government to get their net zero message through. Is £250 off your bill enough, or do you need something more sophisticated that says, “This is not about other people. This

Unsurprisingly. Amanda, I will address them to you, and you very kindly talked about community shared ownership schemes in my constituency. It is important to emphasise that these community wind farms depend on community land as well—the land they are built on is owned by the community. Not all places are the same, but

I very cleverly got an answer about good connections, councils, local authorities buying energy power, heat pumps and messaging—very good. You also mentioned schools and education as one field where there could be more work. I find when I go to schools, kids are teaching me about the environment. I just wondered if the

In short, if people have a stake in this transition—a personal stake or a community stake—they are convinced?
