This is what happens when public policy continually ignores investment due to fears over cost. A cut of 98%! Isn't a cut, its a dissertion of standards that has left us all a lot poorer.

Great to talk with the Carbon Capture and Storage Association and representatives of the Carbon Capture sector yesterday. In Government we were proud to support this technology and it was so good to hear of the progress in the sector in the intervening period. Exciting times!
