Brits are being sent an urgent warning that we may ‘all’ need heat pumps and electric cars to hit Keir Starmer’s ambitious net zero targets.
This would require households to switch out their trusty gas boilers in the Government’s bold attempt to reimagine the country’s energy landscape.

In a speech to world leaders at Cop29 on Tuesday, the Prime Minister announced a target to slash UK emissions by 81 percent by 2035.
While Sir Keir insisted he would not be “telling people how to live their lives”, the UK would instead rely heavily on the Government’s target for a green power grid by 2030.

However, Emma Pinchbeck, the head of the climate change committee, warned that the green power grid would be insufficient to meet the Government’s 2035 target.
Households across the country would instead need to switch gas boilers for heat pumps and use electric cars.
“They’ve done the job of working out how to get a lot of clean, cheap domestic electricity,” she told The Telegraph. “We need to get technologies into people’s homes so they can use the electricity.”
She said the “secret weapon technologies for the next decade are heat pumps and electric vehicles”,

This is not the first time heat pumps have been suggested with the climate change committe previously saying that they need to be installed in around a million homes a year by 2030 to hit climate targets. Around 61,000 heat pumps were installed in buildings around the UK last year.

The Conservatives are warning that Labour’s pledge will lead to “sacrifice and hardship” and would require a shift away from foods with a high carbon footprint and petrol and diesel vehicles.
Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho questioned the drastic plans as the UK only contributes “one percent of global emissions, and whilst the leaders of the world's highest emitting countries, making up over 60 percent of emissions, are not attending”.
