The government has published its revamped net zero strategy. However, Powering Up Britain is rather more focused on energy security than net zero.

The government view: Ambitious plans to scale up affordable, clean, homegrown power and build thriving green industries in Britain have been unveiled by the government today (Thursday 30 March) – boosting the country’s energy security and independence and reducing household bills for the long term and maintaining a world-leading position in achieving net zero.

However, the media was not so kind.
