A rapid shift away from fossil fuels is also needed alongside a major ramp up in renewable electricity capacity - largely provided by wind and solar projects - which will form the backbone of the future energy system, while development of hydrogen, carbon capture and new modular nuclear technologies is also crucial, the report warned.

That is why we are fully committing to nuclear power in the UK, backing a new generation of small modular reactors, and investing tens of billions in clean energy through carbon capture. We don't want to see high bills like this again, it's time for a clean energy reset.

For example, concentrated solar power plants use mirrors to concentrate sunlight, which heats up hundreds or thousands of tons of salt until it melts. This molten salt then is used to drive an electric generator, much as coal or nuclear power is used to heat steam and drive a generator in traditional plants.

In the summer of 1988, scientist James Hansen testified to Congress that carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels was dangerously warming the planet. Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets.
