An apocalyptic “meh” seemed to greet the government’s bumper package of energy- and climate-related policy announcements and documents released on 30 March, which appeared short on new ideas and sources of funding. A central plank was the policy paper “Powering Up Britain” , which presented plans for tackling energy security and net zero.

Carbon pricing works, and this proves it. Putting a price on carbon should reduce emissions, because it makes dirty production processes more expensive than clean ones, right? We analyzed data for 142 countries over more than two decades, 43 of which had a carbon price of some form by the end of the study period. Paul Burke.
