It's Jevons Paradox. Renewables may be largely better than FF but the current system needs to be fundamentally changed for this to have a noticeable impact. We need to change the extractivist economic paradigm that continuously depeletes and destroys the planet's ecosystems. BAU will collapse us.

3. It's actually a new fossil fuel scheme, which will cause a significant net rise in emissions. The starting price for the UK taxpayer is £22 billion, and it would be suprising if the total cost is less than £50bn. It depends on decades of imports of liquefied fossil gas from the US.
