Heres how stupid our goverment is.
As an island we are surrounded by oil, gas fields. Gas = Bad... Oil = bad. Aparently the world is being destroyed by CO2
. And the UK has shut down all our coal, and most of our gas and has not opened any new gas/oil feilds and refused licences for research to map out new supplies for 2 decades. So now we have to buy oil and gas from accross the planet at crazy cost, with no energy security.
We had 15 nuclear power stations. Many have been shut down, end of life, and ALL will be closed by 2025. Thats 3 years away. 3 are closing this year. Because green idiots dont like nuclear either.
So that means we dont actually make enough electricity, have enough gas, or oil, and buy all 3 fro other countries. Green nonsense caused all of this.
We have 200 years worth of cheap gas available by fracking. The samme green idiots wont have that either! So fracking banned by government.
So now the same government wants us to buy electric cars, with all petrol and deisel banned from sale, and literally taxed off the roads by 2025. Including 8 to 15 pounds per day to drive in towns and cities on top because of "clean air zones". And then gas central heating banned from 2030. Yet these same green idiots cant tell us what is to replace fossil fuel. Intermittent windmills certainly cant do it. And they ave no alternative.
