IET members can also contribute to the IET response to this consultation (and another on the electricity market) at Government Policy and Submissions (theiet.org). You can also sign up to email alerts if you want to be notified of new policy consultations, if you want to be more involved.

What a load of nonsense from the green alarmist.

The questions are ridiculous.

I gave up by page 4

Had they asked if net zero is worthwhile and gave the slightest understanding of the true reasoning and costs then I would be more engaged. But alas the government show their blinkered narrow minded understanding.

Good to know, will look into it thanks!

How are they ever going to learn if everyone's views aren't put forward? 

It's like not voting in an election then complaining the person you wanted, didn't get in. 

I can tell by the questions that it's a nonsense agenda driven piece. Net zero is unachievable and thats obvious to me. 

There's plenty of evidence available to confirm this but the questionnaire assumes the science is settled.

Had they asked a different set of questions like for example, CO2 has been increasing slowly but the global temperature has not increased for the past 8 years do you think we have to worry ourselves enough to commit economic suicide?

A better approach by a democratic government is a referendum for the entire population to vote on.

For starters question 1

Do you think that CO2 is the control knob for the very slight warming of 1 degree since the little ice age.

Is there nothing towards the end of the survey (not done mine yet) to give views on that. 

You have a valid viewpoint and I personally think it should be captured and put forward, else it assumes we're either all on board or not on board and there's no room for a diverse range of opinion and debate on these matters. 

Might be worth feeding that back into the IET public consultation bit as Evanna Gale mentioned?

The problem appears to be that views are only invited upon how the perceived problem might be solved, rather than inviting comments as to whether or not a problem exists in the 1st place.

We are decades behind stopping global warming and must now live with it.  No good looking for political scape goats or green agendas;  just prepare a national and global survey to deal with the results of the minimum expected climate changes that we now face 

The separate problem of what energy resources can we develop economically as hydro-carbon fuels dwindle must also be investigated without delay.  Solar, wind, nuclear, tidal and any other practical source of energy should be developed and proved experimentally to be cost effective before adoption.
