How could Wales get to net zero carbon emissions?
Greenhouse gas emissions from power stations will be "virtually" eliminated by 2035, the Welsh government claims.Only stations that have managed to install carbon capture technology will be able to continue to operate after 2035.New targets for green energy are to be set out - but are not in this plan.
Ministers said this would help them understand how feasible these were - and that it was important to focus on behavioural changes in the meantime. "We need to work out what the activities are that help us meet net zero and decarbonise our lives and work - from powering our cars, to heating our houses - all of that needs to move to other systems and so we've all got to embrace change."
The plan stops short of specifically calling for a cut in meat and dairy consumption, and urges instead a focus on buying local to support Welsh farmers.
