There are flexibilities in the system, allowing manufacturers that can’t meet the targets to buy “credits” from those that can. In practice, this means buying credits from companies such as Tesla or Chinese firm BYD, which build electric models exclusively. (…) none of whom have a manufacturing base in the UK.
This is madness.
It’s how a lot of “green” policies work. Totally bizarre logic.
My energy provider offers gas on green tarrifs by offsetting it with “carbon credits”.
