Sure things can always go quicker, but this one is at least already on the right trajectory, and luckily that’s the hardest one for a government to influence.
The government should definitely be heavily subsidizing heat pump replacements (then after a while ramping up gas duty as the stick) and bring back the solar panel subsidies though. And yes shove every penny necessary to get HS2 done to completion so we can get started on HS3 and completely disincentivise short haul flights. All the while building as many wind, tidal and solar farms as possible to power it all—bonus points if we can get a surplus Vs our immediate neighbours.
If we’re all dead the money doesn’t matter, so it should be spent on ensuring survival.
