Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015
UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.
£9bn due to not having built more cheap onshore wind, £5bn due to poorly insulated homes, £5bn due to low solar deployment, £3bn because new homes were built less efficient.
You're viewing a single thread.
Another incredibly frustrating thing for me is the amount of regular people adamantly against any green energy being built near them. Which basically means no where in the country.
Would these people prefer a coal plant??
That's the right wing media for you. I don't have them blocked in my newsfeed so I can see what they are up to and it is a completely different world - pretty much anything green gets hammered.
We need to start calling it blue, not green.
Bless you. I do have them blocked. I don’t need the aggravation in my life.
My reply to them is: “Would you prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, or some turbines/solar fields?”

@rimu@piefed.social @breadsmasher@lemmy.world I've lived next to both, and it makes no difference. Both are good neighbors. I won't live near coal power plants or oil refineries though.
