Much of this policy is about limiting freedoms to satisfy the doctrine of Net Zero which will greatly increase the cost of heating home through indirect subsidy ad the need to use vastly more expensive heat pumps. We can not generate the electricity required to become net zero and invest in wind and solar will require back-up from gas and nuclear.

Money being spent on net zero should be transferred to building in resilience so that drains can cope with extra rain for example. But much of this is about maintenance of existing infrastructure which is too infrequently.
