Now, That's What I Call Short-Termism!

It's well-known that the UK has the least energy-efficient homes in Europe. To a great fanfare, last March, government set up an 'all-singing, all-dancing' energy efficiency taskforce. This taskforce had the avowed aim of improving UK home energy effiency some 15% by 2030. It's just been scrapped! (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/23/uk-ministers-scrap-energy-efficiency-taskforce-after-six-months). The diverse taskforce (including industry as well as academic representatives), had been basically charged with overseeing initiatives to insulate homes and upgrade heater boiler systems. Such folk, it appears, are distinctly surplus to requirements, when rowing back on climate pledges.
