British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak indirectly expressed doubts about the ban on internal combustion engines in new cars from 2030. He avoided confirming whether the planned ban would come into force as planned, amid growing talk that climate laws would be slowed because they “unfairly and disproportionately affect society”.
Sunak says Britain will move towards climate neutrality, but in a “proportionate, pragmatic way, so that it doesn’t cause unnecessary complications and extra costs for people in their everyday lives”. He adds that creating complications and new expenses for the public is not in his interest and he does not want to do it.
In his address, Sunaks notes the economic realities that Latvian residents also face – high inflation and rapidly rising prices for food and various services create a significant financial burden for many households. Sunak does not deny that climate protection measures are important and that Great Britain will work on them while taking care of its energy independence.
“I think that the events of the last year and a half have proven that we need to invest more in domestic energy production. It can be nuclear power or wind power, but I think that’s what people want to see, so I’ll work on it,” says Sunak.
Such comments by the prime minister naturally led to speculation that the planned ban might not go into effect as planned. British media approached Sunaka Press for comment, who said the target still remains the same, but the government is looking for solutions so that society is not overburdened on the road to climate neutrality.
