The focus of the energy strategy will be disappointing to climate activists as not enough focus was on renewables, however carbon capture is in focus and big energy stocks will benefit from the investment in this sector.

We are portfolio landlords that pay energy bills for our tenants as we run a lot of house shares. So this government's energy strategy and it's cost matter significantly to us.

Any government strategy that brings long term costs down and reduces energy waste is going to be hugely welcomed by the landlord community. However, the government needs to be careful not to break the backs of small landlords that are putting in their time, personal money and effort into making the country more energy efficient, one rental property at a time.
