It'll take at least two administration's worth of time just to get the planning approvals in place, let alone the equipment/sources. It's always good to set ambitious and challenging future targets......for someone else to achieve (or probably more correctly, have no hope of achieving). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old double bedroom isn't quite what it was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either incurred £400m of debt to pay off £400m of debt, or it was £400m that should have been spent on paying for hip replacements. Wait till tomorrow morning and we may find out as Chris Thomas has two questions down: 3. The Hon. Member for Douglas Central (Mr Thomas) to ask the Minister for the Treasury – How much the September 2021 bond launch cost; and what the expected annual costs are until the maturity of the bond? 4. The Hon. Member for Douglas Central (Mr Thomas) to ask the Minister for the Treasury – How much was drawn down from the bond issued in September 2021; and what use has been made of these funds? Or we may not find out, given it's Ashford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing at all wrong with that if that's the best option for us Of course it depends upon the UK having a reliable source of renewables by that date too and us having a second connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It was a very clever and confident move by Alf that £400m. Pushed through in the dying days of a hopeless administration, Alf gambled he'd be getting the top job with a lovely big fund without a complete spending plan for it. Shrewd.

Instead of generating our own “bad” gas power they’ll be getting UK grid power via the inter connector. Of which today most of it is …… still largely gas. If that were true, wouldn't it defeat the object somewhat? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0bserver Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 In the debate around energy price rises in the UK there is mention of the green charges that are applied to energy bills and the need to scrap them. Do we have similar punitive regressive charges to fund 'climate change' on MUA or Manx Gas bills? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
