Plans to put ten million electric vehicles on the road within ten years and rip gas central heating from every home are unveiled today.
Energy regulator Ofgem has outlined how the nation will have to change the way it travels and heats homes to meet the Government’s target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The radical scheme to ‘greenwire’ Britain will be built around plans for a four-fold increase in electricity from wind farms around the coast. But the proposals will largely be paid for by families and businesses, adding billions of pounds to bills over the next 30 years.
It is suggested that building and running the infrastructure to support the roll-out of electric vehicles could be £2billion a year, equivalent to £30 on every household bill.
And switching away from natural gas heating and hot water for homes and businesses will require spending as much as £20billion a year by 2050.
And it is proposing that owners of electric cars charge them through the night when power is cheap and then sell it back to the national grid at a higher price at peak periods.
As a result, the embedded power stored in the cars’ batteries will reduce the need to build new gas-fired power stations.
Ofgem said: ‘Increased uptake of electric vehicles creates a rare opportunity for a win-win-win for society, through lower carbon emissions, improved air quality and a more robust and low-cost energy system. But this will only be achieved if drivers are supported to charge their vehicles typically at off-peak times.
Support for drivers using their electric vehicles in novel ways will also be needed, for example by “vehicle-to-grid” technology to share energy from car batteries back to the electricity grid when it is needed.’

And then, when it fails miserably, gas central will then be allowed from approved resources, like George Soros Heating solutions.
Charge your car, then let them plug into it and drain your battery
How are you supposed to go anywhere?
Or is that the goal?
I checked the meter against what we paid for gas and got a refund of 350 euros last week.
I was going to donate 50 dollars to FR but they ZOTTED me for being Trolled so I spent the money.

Brexit. What a joke. I have lots of Brit limey friends who are thankful they are in America.

Get ready for a HUGE wave of Brit emigrants seeking freedom. It will be a replay of what started in 1607 when the first Puritans left Yorkshire, England and moved to Leiden, Holland. Except it isn’t religious freedom the new emigrants are seeking. They will be seeking refuge from insanity.
My daughter has an excellent soccer uniform.
That is a lot of chemical battery waste not far down the road.
Not only do British unicorn farts generate electricity, they can also heat homes!
Lemme see. Great Britain voted to leave the EU because of overbearing regulations?!?! I assume that these idiotic proposals have the imprimatur of Boris Johnson. Perhaps PDJT should reconsider any trade deals with GB. Such stupidity should not be rewarded.
For the past three years.
I should have mentioned.
Freezing in the dark from fear of plant food.
I’m waiting for NYS to put a moratorium on Natural Gas for new developments. I know they did it before in my area in Upstate...but I forgot the basis. I think it only lasted a year.

Now here is a recipe for disaster.
Or, the plan is to thin the herd during the grand solar minimum.
Thats more a Soros like solution
How do they plan on producing the electricity?
Sporadically.

Burning the dead bodies most likely
