The UK government's lack of vision in its net-zero policies was highlighted in a letter to The Telegraph. The writer queried why a household would pay between £7,000 and £13,000 before grants to install a heat pump and add an extra 3,000 kWh to their electricity bill. Instead, the emphasis should be on installing solar panels, which have devastated recruitment figures in the last year and are eligible for tax bonuses in other countries, such as the US and Germany. The letter also highlighted the cost to consumers of decarbonising gas and electricity through the grid operation charge.
