The latest BEIS figures show that in 2018 our energy demand was 2,226 TWh, which is rising. In that year our renewables were only 84.6 TWh and nuclear was only 76.6 TWh and falling. The total of 161.2 zero carbon energy was just 15% of what we needed in 2018. The task to bridge the gap of 85% of fossil fuel energy by 2050 is huge, and not being mentioned by the CCC, perhaps not to alarm our population?

We the energy thinkers, need to make the Government grasp the nettle of what needs to be done now as we have less than 30 years to implement it.
