It's not going to happen. This is an entirely political, jumping-on-the-latest-bandwaggon - and open contempt for working-class British people surviving on marginal motoring. People did not vote for the Green Party, they voted for a Conservative government. This is yet another example of a policy with no attempt at assessing if the claimed benefits are realisable or likely to outweigh the costs involved.
In 2024 Boris will be gone; no new power stations will have been built (20 years from inception to operating); no start made on the complex, multi-billion pound infrastructure and upgrading of the power system needed - and if those in power think that people will vote en-mass for this madness, they are in for a rude awakening. The sound of hysterical laughter you can hear is coming from China, India, Malaysia and Russia (etc) as they fail to contain their mirth at the spectacle of Western nations destroying their economies in a futile attempt to compensate for a tiny fraction of the pollution that they are creating themselves.
