U.K. businesses and homeowners could be jailed for up to a year or fined \u00a315,000 for non-compliance with new energy efficiency regulations proposed by the Conservative government, which have been described by critics as a \u201cmassive expansion of the state and its power over our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Energy Bill, which returned to parliament for its third reading this week, outlines several new requirements homeowners must adhere to in relation to Net Zero, the government\u2019s commitment to being carbon neutral by 2050.<\/p>\n

For the first time, individuals face criminal charges for failing to comply with measures designed to reduce the country\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

One such draconian regulation states that household appliances such as fridges, washing machines, and heat pumps must be fitted with smart functions that can be controlled by \u201cany persons carrying out load control,\u201d namely the National Grid, which oversees the majority of electricity transmission and distribution in Britain.<\/p>\n
