Excellent, so that's 20,000 new plumbers we'll need. What about insulating all houses? And installing solar panels on every roof? And battery packs in every house? And changing the electricity grid over to support these renewables?
These are all the green jobs that will be created when we take the plunge to creating a zero carbon economy.
A lot of these jobs will be filled by people from the oil, gas and coal industry, who will get free training and a guaranteed job.

Government advisors say gas in the home should be phased out, with no new fittings after 2025.
Luckily you can microwave potatoes ((( 🥔 )))

23 million
Hang on. New boilers in 23 million houses in 2191 days. That's 23 million boilers at a rate of 10,497 boilers replaced per day.
Who is making these boilers in these volumes and when are they due to start arriving?
How much will they typically cost, and will an incentive scheme be used to boost uptake?

Also who will pay for my boiler to be replaced. If zero carbon by 2025 is a goal then gas boilers have to go and that will cost alot but also impossible to deliver as there are not enough trained fitters to all 23 million houses in the u.k over the next 6 years.
Also if all plumbers were fitting new boilers and you pipes start leaking good luck in finding a plumber. 6 year wait.
XR is quite guilty of having a ill thought through plans. That's why I don't like citizens assemblies. A gathering of the ill informed who then make ill informed choices because evidence gets ignored. That what politicans do and we are just like them. That's the sad truth.
I doubt a citizens assembly would come up with the right answer according to XR unless it is stuffed with the "right" kind of people. People in general listen to evidence they agree with. That's always been the case. That's human psychology.
