Every job in wind and solar power is currently costing the taxpayer over £250,000 in subsidies every year. This isn't the promised "green prosperity"; it's the path to penury.
Yesterday's budget added £1.4 billion to energy bills owing to its massive increase in subsidies for renewables, including £800m for offshore wind. If wind power is so cheap, why does it need so much subsidy?
Robert Jenrick is right. There is a genuine risk of blackouts if Labour's decarbonisation targets are pursued, says David Turver.
Welcome to the Government's latest Net Zero swindle, says David Turver: electricity interconnectors with continental Europe. Touted as making energy cheaper, cleaner and more secure, they in fact do the opposite.
Government subsidies for wind power hit a record £255 million in December, confirming that renewables are not and never have been cheap, says David Turver. And they look set to increase further.
The Government's hydrogen policy is a crime against thermodynamics, says David Turver. It makes no sense to lose half the energy converting methane to hydrogen, only to mix it back in with the natural gas supply.
