Indeed.
It's disappointing to see how labour is approaching and otherwise sound proposition: affordable energy for everyone.
This, BTW, was a major milestone as early as the 50s and 60s.
For any transition, the key is to work with existing infrastructure first. There is a lot of scope too. Stronger emission controls for combustion engines or industry like fitting more potent catalytic converters and policing this is way cheaper and achievable. It's also realistic.
There are too many question marks around the 'alternatives'.
Eventually, we'll get there.
But it needs to be realistic and feasible. Not 'prima facie'
We can improve what we currently have, and so we should...
