@ChrisGloninger “solar and wind, now the cheapest electricity in human history”. If this was true, then everyone would be building wind and solar without subsidies. But they aren’t. Don’t you think it’s time to quit with the subsidies?
@julianHjessop@JoStevensLabour@BBCr4today You cant even buy alcohol from a supermarket till 'manned' by an under 21 w/o them needing a supervisor's permission first can you?
