I have to disagree with your analysis and statement contained In your 3rd para, "help fund a number of clean energy projects, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), green hydrogen, and nuclear power. This will enhance Britain’s energy security and reduce the country’s emissions in line with official targets."
Apart from a 'truly' Green Hydrogen, these expensive and unproven technologies are diverting investment away from the significantly quicker and cheaper to install and operate renewable alternatives. This is putting necessary CO2 reduction targets out of reach within the required timescale.
The threats, many of which we already experience, associated with the rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are serious and life threatening. A safer option exists with the suspension of any existing and new nuclear facilities, thereby saving countless £billions in decommissioning and waste storage costs being heaped on future generations who will receive NO benefit from their expenditure. Carbon capture is unproven and cannot be installed within the timescale necessary for adequate CO2 reduction.
