As far as it doesn’t cause them to change their lifestyle.
If it’s others that have to do something but with a cost, then somewhat supportive.
Other people having to do something but no cost then very supportive.
Having to make significant adjustments themselves such as not flying, eating seasonally, reducing meat intake, not running an SUV then forget it.
Scrap gas as an energy source , replace with renewables , cut bills in half .
If it means following net zero to fix energy bills then we should absolutely go for it .
I don’t know why people ‘strongly oppose’ it. I can see why people might just want the solution that is the most convenient and cheapest, even if that is coal or buying oil from Russia. But, if there was a way of making energy cheap and convenient, why would you be opposed if it was also green? Would Reformers pay extra for a non-green energy tariff, if one existed?
If it costs anything, 100%.
If it costs someone else something, 50%.
If it costs you anything, 0%.
Thought the thumbnail was Muse’s Origin of Symmetry.
People support it as long as it doesn’t result in increased expenses, or a decrease in quality of goods and services and quality of life (from their perspective).
If you’re gonna sell net zero to the public, you have to develop genuinely better alternatives and let the public naturally adopt them themselves, rather than using regulations to force the public to adopt them – people hate that. Carrot, not stick.
I don’t care much anymore because its pretty obvious we have gone past or getting irrevocably near too a tipping point. Even at the height of the pandemic the world was producing far too much carbon so I don’t see it being reduced much over the next ten years.
Just waiting for the talk to switch from reversing climate change to “living with it”.
Climate issues need remarketing anyway.
Renewables are strategic energy independence that will bring cheaper and more consistent energy prices to consumers.
EVs are for the same reason. EVs when set up straight could save consumers money and time (allowing people to charge while at work or shopping, rather than going to a petrol station).
Rewilding and reforestation will improve the natural beauty of the country, and improve the economy and can create new safer jobs.
Stuff like recycling, cutting back on certain foods and travel are a governmental issue not a consumer issue.
The government is ultimately responsible for how rubbish is handled as we have seen when people supposedly recycle but it ends up on a beach somewhere.
Cutting back on certain foods is only possible when it’s affordable and people can be educated, along with giving people a good work life balance that they have the time, energy and will to make their own food.
Travel is only as good as the country makes it, better public transport, entertainment, cities, safety will improve people’s willingness to vacation in the UK.
