Dr Barry Clayton's letters are always informative and accurate, and so was his one on December 4 where he criticises the harmful policy of net zero.

- William Loneskie

Thanks to the unwise policy of decarbonisation to reach a mythical net zero by 2050 the UK has suffered the run down of North Sea oil and gas, the closure of Grangemouth and Lindsey oil refineries and and now the imminent closure of Mossmorron ethylene plant.

British industry has been undermined by Government policy since Ed Miliband passed the Climate Change Act in 2008 and Teresa May made Net Zero by 2050 legally binding, daft policies supported by the Greens, Plaid Cymru, and the SNP who wish to go even further.
