UK's Net Zero Plan Criticized for Lack of Funding and Contradictory Actions.

TL;DR Summary
The UK government's new net zero plan has been criticised by experts and environmental groups for not doing enough to meet the country's legally-binding carbon commitments. The plan includes storing CO2 under the North Sea, but scientists say this alone will not be enough. There is also frustration that there is no significant increase in funding for home insulation, which is one of the most effective ways to bring down energy consumption and emissions. The plan includes dozens of measures, but critics say it is a weak response to the UK's zero carbon energy needs.
