He claims that the current net zero policy is wrong because it relies on unrealistic optimism and ignores the economic burden on average households.

“We've got our energy policy wrong. We've got our net zero policy wrong.”

He asserts that the populist attempt to create a culture war around net zero will fail because it does not align with public opinion.

“The attempt to create a successful culture war around net zero to undermine the government is not going to work.”

He argues that the net zero transition is gaining unstoppable momentum due to increasing investment in clean energy.

“The spend on addressing the issue is going through the roof. It has almost unstoppable momentum.”
