@andyburnham@AngelaRayner More importantly what you doing about the poor economy, high energy prices stunting growth, high cost of living, crippling taxes, inflation, I could go on……
“I have a brilliant plan for GB Energy. We are surrounded by natural energy resources, but let’s ignore that and buy £40 billion of oil and gas from Norway, which comes from the same sea that we share with them. Let’s spend £11.6 billion on overseas climate aid. Let’s pay wind power companies millions of pounds to turn the wind turbines off. Let’s spaff away £30bn on carbon capture machines. Let’s ban gas boilers and put in heat pumps. Let’s end new coal mining licenses and spend millions of pounds for foreign coal to keep Britain's last steel plant running. Let’s plaster solar panels on farmland, but also spend £50 million on sun dimming experiments. We will do this in a country that has the fifth least annual sunlight hours. And we will end up with the most expensive industrial electricity prices in the developed world.“
@darrenpjones Never heard such rubbish, we are exposed to volatile global markets because when the wind don’t blow we import gas to fuel our power stations in stead of using out own North Sea gas or fracking for gas under our feet.
