UK climate envoy calls rapid green transition 'idiotic' during meetings with John Kerry
Fox News
Grant Shapps, the top U.K. climate envoy, said Monday during a U.S.-U.K. climate summit that it would be "idiotic" to transition too quickly to green energy.
"There always has to be a transition … but it doesn't just happen overnight, in fact, it's idiotic to suggest you can," Shapps said, per the BBC. "If you tried to, you simply impoverish people and tell people they can no longer drive and they can no longer heat their homes." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
However, Kerry remarked Monday that companies changing their climate commitments is "moving in the wrong direction" in an interview with BBC. He also called for accelerating the green transition.
