There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid.
They will use 73GW of electricity.
The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW.
They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined.
And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.
It’s a rigged system, and we’re paying the price.
Energy analyst Professor Nick Butler cuts through the spin. Britain is producing more electricity from cheaper wind and solar, yet consumers don’t see the benefit because electricity prices remain tied to the wholesale gas market. The result, he says, is windfall profits for renewable owners while households and businesses pay more. He calls it “corporate welfare”.
Then there’s nuclear. Sizewell C is expected to cost tens of billions, with construction costs ultimately recovered from consumers through their bills.
Cheap energy? Not on this model.
Sizewell C ownership...
* UK Government: 44.9% (largest shareholder)
* La Caisse (CDPQ): 20% (Canadian pension fund)
* Centrica: 15% (British energy firm)
* EDF: 12.5% (French state-owned energy company)
* Amber Infrastructure: 7.6% Parent Company: Part of Boyd Watterson Global Asset Management Group (US-based).
Successive governments have created an energy system where the public funds the infrastructure, shoulders the risk and pays the inflated bill, while private interests collect the returns.
MPs should be representing the public interest. Instead, Westminster keeps facilitating the transfer of public wealth into private hands.
This is not a market; it is corporate welfare disguised as green progress. Until politicians uncouple electricity prices from gas and stop forcing the public to underwrite private risk, energy policy will remain a legalised shakedown of the working class.

Tucker Carlson just aired footage of an American father trying to visit the hillside where his son-an American citizen-was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.
Settlers blocked him. Attacked him. Slashed his tires. Chased his vehicle.
Then the Israeli military showed up-not to stop the settlers, but to harass the father and the journalists.
American citizens are being murdered in the West Bank by Israelis with American weapons-and no one in Washington will say a word.
When the Wind Blows (1986) looks like a children’s movie, but it is actually one of the most terrifying and heartbreaking war films ever made https://t.co/lYmEa3zb7g via @YouTube
If you haven’t watched this yet, you should!
Excellent research by @michaelsheen and his team, but I fear they’ve just scratched the surface.
Again @NatResWales fails to protect our environment.
We need answers!
We need action!
We need to keep Cymru safe.
The search for the truth behind a toxic legacy with Michael Sheen

Join Michael Sheen as he uncovers claims of conspiracy, complicity and denial over alleged toxic 'forever chemical' contamination in south Wales.
This is corruption of the British government by a foreign power. Most of these senior politicians also take cash from Israeli sources. Until this scandal is properly exposed and closed down, Andy Burnham is on borrowed time. The terrorist, apartheid state of Israel must be rooted out of our politics like the invasive species it is.
Israel published a video of its invading soldiers blowing up an entire town in South Lebanon.
Not military targets.
Homes. Civilian homes.
An entire town wiped off the map — and Israel is proudly broadcasting it.
The shocking revelation led by @declassifiedUK that found one in four British MPs were being given substantial pay-outs by israeli lobbyists https://t.co/5DvOD6Ofsl
