Episode Details

The UK’s Climate Change Committee is doubling down on the petrol car ban, warning that weakening the EV sales target risks missing emissions goals and keeping families stuck with expensive fossil fuels. With ministers considering slashing the 2030 target from 80% to 50%, carmakers and unions fear factory closures—but the committee insists faster electrification saves money: a typical EV-powered home could save over $1,200 annually. They’re urging urgent action across heating and transport to shield households from fuel price shocks and meet net zero, even as the UK battles political heat and a record-breaking heatwave.
