This upcoming 'Fit for 55' doesn't make for good reading & before anyone says that's the EU nowt to do with us, the UK is intertwined with EU standards besides our government has gone a step further & committed to a more stringent emission standard than that of the EU by signing into law a 68% reduction in emissions before 2030
