What's the biggest problem?

AJJewsbury

Given we have a central government that chickened out of significant improvements in energy efficiency requirements in the 2016 building regulations a the last minute, carefully nurtured a domestic PV installation industry and then killed it off with a cliff-edge change in policy and now keeps moving the target for phasing out IC engine cars - would you say the biggest challenges are technical or political?

    It has to be political we have all the tech we need (though the cost may not appeal), I guess battery technology could be better , we could even use excess PV or wind to make hydrogen from water for cooking , heating or vehicles
