In deprived areas also or will you give our energy to rich areas?
Honestly, at this point, it’s all buzzwords I don’t believe a single word any conservative says you haven’t earned it.
He reckons he’ll be in power for 23 years?
Never happens again apart from the next 23 years where the plebs will be paying 5k a year on electricity.

Make it 2025 and I’m in
2045?!! mate London will be the next Sahara by then !
Oh great so I can look forward to my bill going down in 23 years.
Oh just short of a cool quarter century.
I’m so ashamed of pur our government.
At this point in time he can promise what he wants, he’s irrelevant
what type of energy rishi? **what type of energy?**
At least he’s somewhat realistic about how long it will take.
But it’s really a failing of the last 30 years that we’re not generating more power inside the UK than we are. We could have had way more nuclear power stations by now.
And how exactly is he going to go about doing that? Is he doing planning on staying in office as PM until 2045 to make sure it’s gets done?
It’s such a load of bullshit, you just know he’ll completely forget about this and fall flat on his empty promises once he gets voted out.
>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on the country’s 75th Independence Day a new goal to transform India into an ‘energy-independent’ nation by 2047.
Indian PM said that in August last year. Looks like Rishi will only make it 2 years earlier than a country of current population of 1.4 billion.
Translation: There will be an energy crisis all the way until 2045 at the earliest, unless climate change doesn’t get us all first. I can guarantee this because I will simply end up passing a bill that pushes the decisions onto the next Government and they will delay it until the next one over and over again.
Does he realise most people voting for him won’t be around in 2045?
Pointless promise he won’t be in position to deliver, that he wouldn’t deliver if he does somehow win and will never be held accountable for anyway – cheers mate
I read that if “green” Dave had committed to the green promises he’d made in 2010 (same as now- insulation, upgrading & investing), we’d need 45% less gas than we do.
Tl;dr: without the Tories we’d already have whatever Dishy is promising in the future.
“crises will continue to occur until 2045… In which nothing will probably happen after having served for 25+ years”
“Never happens again” after another 23 years of it happening while the world burns around us? Finally someone with a plan!
We were energy independent until the Tories got in.
Never, under circumstance, trust anyone who worked at Goldman Sachs
There is a climate emergency, and these guys want to fracking increase gas production!?!
Not fast enough mate.
Cool, how do we pay the bills in the meantime?
Quarter to nine? Yeah but what day?
We pretty much were independent until Thatcher closed all the oits
23 years? What a joke of a pledge
What? In the 1.5 years or whatever it is you’ll be in power?
Seems like Rishi is realising Truss is a trainwreck and going for the easy wins now
“I’ll make the U.K. energy independent by 2045 and then monopolise it with my friends.”
The way it is developing at the moment, there will not be a UK in 2045.
I mean- they could just nationalise the energy sector. I don’t know why we sold it all off in the first place. What kind of moron would do that?
Oh wait it was Thatcher, who dingus and dingus hold up as the best PM ever.
Utter, utter morons
Not when Scotland leaves you won’t.
We were energy independent for 200 years until about 3 years ago 😅

Even though several reports have been released showing this can be done in 6 years and pay for itself. So 2045 is a date that is bullshit to help the fossil fuel companies. Source : https://climatenewsaustralia.com/the-renewable-energy-transition-will-pay-back-in-just-six-years/
By which time I shall be dead. Wonderful response to a crisis.
So we’ll be screwed for another 22 years minimum!
F off
The same Sunak who vowed to block onshore wind farms… _checks notes…_ less than a month ago?
We’ll all be fucking dead by then through poverty and climate change. What a cunt.
That’s the opposite of what we want. Nationalise critical national infrastructure. Such as energy.
Just a 23 year wait then? Fucking outstanding rishi, if it took me 23 years to plaster a house I’d be sacked you useless prick
I will do it by next year by bringing it back in public hands 😂
He came up with this statement while in his new swimming pool.
Unless it’s 20:45 tomorrow, I think a lot of us couldn’t give a flying fuck, Rishi. That’s political speak for it will never happen.
It’s incredibly easy to promise things for when you will no longer be in power lol
Hooking Aneurin Bevan’s coffin up to an electromagnet as he spins in his grave *doesn’t count*.
Rishi planning on becoming a Putin-esque God Emperor with no term limits then ey?
It’s nice to hear politicians talk about changes in terms of more than 18months, but 2045 might not be entirely realistic
