Britain is in an Energy Emergency.
But the Government is FAILING TO ACT. They have no plan, no idea what to do, and they’re leaving us exposed.
So today we’re launching The LFG Emergency Energy Bill to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN
Here’s how it would get bills down IMMEDIATELY:
1️⃣ SCRAP all levies on energy bills. These stealth taxes on the British people are unnecessarily hiking up their bills by hundreds of pounds.
2️⃣ REOPEN THE NORTH SEA, and directly deploy the tax revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN.
3️⃣ Stop new CfD contracts and launch an investigation into the system that signed them off. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable corporations to THROW ENERGY AWAY. By 2030, it’ll be £8 billion. The existing settlement is a national scandal.
4️⃣ Scrap Clean Power 2030 targets. These needless constraints have pushed civil servants to procure wind at any cost – and at huge expense to the British people.
5️⃣ DITCH the duties of energy regulators, NESO and Ofgem, towards Net Zero goals, so their only focus is to MINIMISE ENERGY COSTS, subject to security of supply.
6️⃣ Hold auctions for connecting to the grid, and directly deploy the revenue generated to GET BILLS DOWN
Our Emergency Energy Bill has cross-party support. It is ready to PASS IMMEDIATELY. It does what governments for the past 20 years didn’t – it takes RADICAL ACTION to SAVE OUR INDUSTRIES and GET BILLS DOWN.
There’s no excuse. Last week, the US suspended access to some of the world’s leading frontier AI models. Britain is vulnerable - and our energy prices are strangling our national security. We cannot afford to be at the mercy of other countries or events beyond our control any longer.
The Government needs to GET BILLS DOWN NOW or explain why they’re still letting this emergency destroy our future.
Force Westminster to ACT. Send our Bill to your local MP and sign our letter to the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. GET BILLS DOWN, NOW!
@ThePosieParker I don’t believe for a second this clown was “the top trader in Canary Wharf”
It’s like arguing with a child that can’t follow a discussion
@patsmithcomedy They pay 78% corp tax compared to 25% for normal companies and have carbon taxes. Then at the pump the government charges 38% tax + 20% vat. So more than half the price is tax
@Gaurab Doosan Skoda just announced a Gas Turbine division.
It’s also not just about F class and H class. Industrial gas turbines like aeroderivative models are absolutely killing it and are not limited to those manufacturers.
STs also making record sales (both for CCGT and nuclear)
Spend £billions to subsidise "cheap" energy (Wind).
Spend £billions to fix the problems that cheap energy causes on the grid (Power lines, backup generation and/or storage and managing real time intermittency).
Make energy costs stupidly expensive thanks to this process.
Spend £billions supporting consumers/industry to be able to afford the previous £billions in costs created.
Am I missing anything?
