Analysis: Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015 - Carbon Brief
www.carbonbrief.org
UK's energy bills were £22bn higher over the past decade than they would have been if Conservative governments had not cut “green crap” climate policies.

£9bn due to not having built more cheap onshore wind, £5bn due to poorly insulated homes, £5bn due to low solar deployment, £3bn because new homes were built less efficient.

    My reply to them is: “Would you prefer to live next to a nuclear plant, or some turbines/solar fields?”

      @rimu@piefed.social @breadsmasher@lemmy.world I’ve lived next to both, and it makes no difference. Both are good neighbors. I won’t live near coal power plants or oil refineries though.
