Ministers want to grant powers to create new criminal offences and increase penalties as part of efforts to hit net zero targets

Property owners who fail to comply with new energy efficiency rules could face prison under government plans that have sparked a backlash from Tory MPs.

Ministers want to grant themselves powers to create new criminal offences and increase civil penalties as part of efforts to hit net zero targets. Under the proposals, people who fall foul of regulations to reduce their energy consumption could face up to a year in prison and fines of up to £15,000.

Tory backbenchers are set to rebel against the plans, which they fear would lead to the criminalisation of homeowners, landlords and businesses.

The proposals are contained in the Government’s controversial Energy Bill, which is set to come before the Commons for the first time when MPs return from their summer break on Tuesday.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts are that all of these 'Ministers' should thelselves be thrown in prison. What happens on my property is up to me. Don't push your imaginary climate change agenda on me.

How about bringing back the net-zero requirement for new housing? Apparentlry some local authorities are bringing this net-zero target forward. The government want buildings to be net-zero by 2050, Gordon Brown brought in the net-zero target, for homes to be net-zero by 2016

 

Exactly. Why doesn't the government use its power to make this sort of thing a national building objective for new homes: solar panels, insulation, grey water systems etc.

This government are using their power to enrich themselves and they don’t give a flying **** about anybody else.

These policies are too aggressive

 

No matter what we do in the next 10 years won't make any difference in global emissions

 

What it does is cripple businesses, families and our economy

 

Our eco policies should not be at the detriment of our citizens and their quality of life

 

Unfortunately the modern capitalist policies rely on everyone being in debt

 

And it's the so called anti-establishment left who are driving it forward 

I think we should drop the 'Right' and  'Left' scenario. I think we've established that both sides are politically aligned with very little difference between them.

It's more 'the people' vs 'the government' these days, no matter who's in power.
