    the plan, which includes creating a publicly-owned green power company, is not being dropped

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like they’re still going to have a green industrial strategy, but they’re going to invest on a case-by-case basis rather than having a flat amount they’re going to invest. This seems fine. If they’d just announced that in the first place, we’d all be happy with it. There is no scientific or fiscal or any other reason that £28 billion is the actual right amount of money and anything less than that is a disaster.
