We cannot afford this right now, no matter what has been set aside for Daphne and her warm feelings ! There won't be many warm feelings when Government is bankrupt and UK step in ! This one's not about warm feelings - current gas bill is £56m/year and this is supposed to reduce gas usage by a third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, so it's not about saving the planet. What worries me though is Government have delivered nothing on time and in budget in my memory, and we also need to have the back up infrastructure as well. If this is about saving money it won't save a penny ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is about saving money it won't save a penny ! Daphne Caine seems to be the expert in delivering nothing. She doesn’t even seem to want the wind farm that her own climate change team said had to be implemented. She is the most fatuous IOM politician in decades. A long term track record of delivering absolutely net zero of anything she’s responsible for. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK pretty much doubled the price it would pay for offshore wind power last week. After no one tendered for some big projects, because the price paid was too low so not viable for profit. Current high interest rates also having a big impact as these projects would all need financing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
