“Ed Miliband’s plan to erect thousands of pylons across Britain has been criticised after an official report found that burying electricity cables underground can be cheaper.”

@SamMaclaine@jesstfleming@RichardRout@nationalgriduk There's been an independent report which looks at the need case in East Anglia. We're fine to go for 2034/5 instead of 2030. It's specifically about need and demand. No point rushing a bad solution through.
For me @IpswichTown is the story of the season. No parachute payments, spent just £4.7m in the past 2 seasons,shrewd loan deals, clear philosophy, terrific manager, front foot,expansive style, losing just 10 games last 2 seasons. As near as you’ll get to modern football romance.
@RosieP4 Well done @RosieP4 and team @PylonsEAnglia we’re heading in the right direction…discussion about an offshore grid, saving the countryside, environment and consumers £6b with a strategic offshore grid. Keep the pressure on guys.
Pylons: is it that as a cost plus contractor @nationalgrid get paid more if they spend more? Their report shows offshore grid in East Anglia £2Bn cheaper than proposed pylons. https://t.co/OFYFCtH3Kv
Build offshore grid: cheaper,faster, less destructive
@PylonsEAnglia
@RachelReevesMP Shocking how little understanding demonstrated of underlying issues. Green energy is not green if pylons used destroy countryside and cultural heritage. @PylonsEAnglia
