Madness.

Who cares about green targets?
Not me nor anyone I know.
Travel regularly to India and China and see how they care about 'green'

However, Russia is one of the countries with the cheapest electricity prices in the world, while countries that import a lot of fossil fuels for electricity are more vulnerable to price fluctuations.

A race to the bottom!

We need to, or it’ll be yet another opportunity utterly wasted by this useless government.
