THE UNLIKELY TASK OF REACHING 81% OF NET ZERO BY 2035

 What percentage of UK Electricity is renewable by type?

Total 43.1%    Wind alone 30.4%    Biomass 6.6%   Solar 4.7%      Hydro 1.4%

Electricity is 20% of total energy, so these must be divided by 5 to get their percentage of total energy.

Total 8.62%    Wind     6.08%      Biomass 1.32%   Solar 0.94%     Hydro 0.28%

So it is clear from these figures that over 90% of the UK energy comes from fossil fuels or nuclear, despite all the massive drive to build wind and solar. The government has just declared that by 2035 we will have become 81% net zero. That looks like a very difficult task, but this government is unlikely to be in power when that date is reached. I wonder what odds a bookmaker would give on that?
