'Government procrastination'...
The UK obtains approx. 80% of its energy by burning fossil fuels. The industries and government keep quoting figures for how much of our electrical energy is generated from the renewable sources, ignoring the significant energy used to generate heat and to run transport, which is almost, if not all, from the fossil fuels. If we all switch to electric vehicles then that doubles the amount of electricity that we have to generate. If we all switch to heat pumps to heat our houses then this should reduce the amount of gas burnt, but it does increase hugely the amount of electricity required to run the heat pumps. Both are sensible moves but effectively will require an estimated fourfold increase in electrical energy. Where is all this energy to come from? A MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

Is sustainability just a buzzword?
Sustainability has always been important, and today more so than ever. Why is it so important for the UK? UK is among those nations that are being affected by the climate change. The country is already experiencing more warmer-winters and hotter-summers. The most recent decade (2012 to 2021) has been on average 1.0°C warmer than the 1961 to 1990 levels- thanks to greenhouse gases. UK built environment accounts for 25-35% of greenhouse emissions- a figure higher than the transport sector (34%). It sounds damning but auspiciously the concentration rate in the country have been dropping since 1990s. The central government is pushing hard to reduce all emissions to net-zero by 2050. Will this an easy journey?
