Green anger as ministers promise new gas power plants ‘to avoid blackouts’
Green anger as ministers promise new gas power plants ‘to avoid blackouts’
Rishi says gas is needed to let UK hit its net zero goals in a “sustainable way that doesn’t leave people without energy on a cloudy, windless day”.
'The Government did not give any details about when or where the power stations would be built.'
This is the important bit. As frustrating as these 'commitments' are there's no guarantee they'll even happen.
...because it's courting the anti-green vote. Since the Ruislip result they think being anti-green will save them. Thing is, most people support being able to breathe clean air.
Or it's an announcement: Fuck you, we are doing it anyway and we don't care about telling you where, when, how, much it cost, or who is profiting.
Why are they still announcing plans? The ship is sinking and they're announcing plans to have a committee to discuss the rearranging of deck chairs.
They are about five steps back from been too late to implement anything.
Money into soon to be stranded assets? Guess they pissed lots of other money up the wall....
