Energy Zero: Liz Truss

December 24, 2022

The next Energy Zero for 2022 goes to the shortest-serving prime minister of the United Kingdom, Liz Truss. Europe is facing an energy crisis due to Russia’s war in Ukraine and governments forcing a green transition. When Liz Truss first took office, she had big goals to fight the rising cost of energy bills and even lifted the country’s ban on fracking.

Unfortunately, Truss resigned after just six weeks as Prime Minister. Leaving the door open for current PM Rishi Sunak to swoop in and continue the country down the path of unreliable green energy. PM Sunak swiftly reinstated the UK’s fracking ban.

For quitting only six weeks into a job and turning power back to a climate change hack, Liz Truss earns her place as an Energy Zero in 2022.
