"Kemi Badenoch has argued the carbon tax regime is contributing to deindustrialisation and she wants to remove it 'in its entirety'. This would include the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which aims to limit the amount of carbon that can be emitted each year by the heavy industry, power and aviation sectors."
"Badenoch said business bosses had told her that carbon taxes and green levies have made 'doing business in Britain much, much harder than it needs to be'. She said: 'We all want to leave a better environment for the next generation, but it is madness to pursue that goal by killing British industry and fatally weakening our national resilience.'"
The Conservative Party aims to abolish carbon taxes on British industry, claiming it will safeguard jobs in energy-intensive sectors. Kemi Badenoch argues that the current carbon tax regime contributes to deindustrialisation. The proposal includes scrapping the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, which limits carbon emissions from heavy industry, power, and aviation. Critics, including Labour and the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, warn that this move could harm industry and that firms will still face EU carbon charges. Badenoch believes the net zero target by 2050 is unattainable and seeks to replace existing climate legislation with a focus on affordable energy.
