[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6356210, member: 8735"] I don't think is really a party-political or Brexit-related matter and so, I hope, in the discussion of this there will be a consensus reached... :rolleyes: It's a really good goal, not least through being enlightened self-interest, but it is very difficult to see how it is possible without a remarkable amount of statistical manipulation. A few questions occur that will be of relevance to many on her, domestically and commercially: Will wood-fires be banned? Will petrol / diesel vehicles be banned? Will there be a massive reduction - even a removal - of tax upon renewable energy sources? Will there be exemptions for 'essential' inputs, e.g. fert? Will there be penalties for failure? Will the 'net' factor mean that we can cut only, say, half of what we churn out by having every hedge in the country made into a 'linear' woodland? I'm sure others will think of other questions, but I can't think of definitive answers for any of mine without an absolutely determined government in place to make it work - and that seems unlikely. But it could work, if we had a proper industrial strategy ([USER=112232]@Yacker[/USER]) which recognised the importance and potential of leading in the renewable energy industry. On that tack, if I had the power, I'd give an encouraging ten year tax-break to renewable development, manufacture and installation, and then phase in tax very gradually, say at 5% every five years until it matched the general rate.
