This paragraph caught my eye:
Britain’s power grids, which are regulated by Ofgem, have warned renewable energy developers to expect a 10-to-15-year wait to connect their projects to the network. The delays threaten the government’s clean energy targets and put much-needed investment in the UK at risk. Critics of the regulator blame its failure to keep pace with seismic changes to the industry.
The above paragraph includes a link to this:
Pricing would come down once these projects are up and running and once we stop basing the cost of a unit of energy on oil regardless of how that unit was produced.
Incompetence begets incompetence.
I love a good Tory bashing. It’s jolly good fun. But this is Daily Mail rant level of absurdity.
every successive winter brings the UK to almost-blackouts
Improving public debate should surely start with representing fact?
Good point. As we head into a risky 2023, here is my counter query: how many times in a row does it need to be a risk before we can say “every winter”?
