The PM's 'watering down' of climate change commitment faces criticism but will it win over voters?
Some businesses are furious that the goalposts are being moved on carbon reduction, when they've been investing to meet government targets.
It wasn't just from the environment movement, but from his own party, where there are open doubts about the PM's personal commitment to the environment and tackling climate change. Business, which used to align with Conservative policy, has been scathing.
Said Make UK: "We now run the risk of falling behind our international counterparts as a home for green technologies if we persist in frequently altering policies that impact businesses directly." For those who object and use the planning system to delay and frustrate those pylons, that pledge runs against the key theme of his speech - about securing consent and taking people with you.
And the Scottish government has its own, continuing policy of ending petrol and diesel car sales in 2030, which are set to clash with the change from Downing Street.Possibly the most significant shift in the prime minister's statement was more political, angled at the general election next year.
