Net Zero has made Britain less safe
From our UK edition
Our very ability to keep the lights on and maintain critical infrastructure is under threat. That is the stark message from Sir Richard Dearlove, the former ‘Chief’ of MI6. In the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s Annual Lecture, Dearlove asked whether Britain has thought seriously enough about the vulnerabilities that are being introduced into our increasingly complex energy infrastructure. His answer was emphatic and sobering. “We have as a nation negligently wandered close to a cliff edge,” he said. Britain has allowed the security dimension of energy policy to become an afterthought. We are, according to Dearlove, effectively inviting hostile disruption.
