The government have brought forward the decarbonizing of Britain’s Electricity Supply from 2035 to 2030. To achieve this they have identified 17 Major Projects including doubling the number of Onshore Wind Turbines and building112 miles of Pylons form Norwich to Tilbury. Apart from the environmental impact of these projects it is doubtful they can be achieved in the timescale
Our last coal fired power station has closed and 8 of our existing Nuclear Power Stations will close in the next 4 years. The government have stopped any new projects for oil and gas exploration in the North Sea.
There have been times in the last month when due to the lack of Wind and Sunshine only 7% of the requirement has been met by Wind Turbines and Solar Farms. 54% has come from Gas Power Stations and 17% from Nuclear (soon to be phased out), 10% was imported at high cost from other countries.
With the current policies there is a danger to businesses and consumers that the electricity availability will be limited with potential disruptions to supply.

This is total madness, being driven by a bunch of Eco Zealots, of whom the Miilipede seems to be the worst offender. Hopefully, reality will be allowed to intrude before these idiotic plans are put into action……. But there again?

Thank you for your comment
I support all coal, oil, gas, nuclear, wind and solar electricity production. I’d rather see solar on existing rooves than on productive farmland but other than that I realise the heavy reliance on electricity we all have and am not concerned with this country’s greenhouse gas emissions. This country has really cleaned up its act in the last 20 years and it is now time for the rest of the world to follow suit, not impose ridiculous and pointless targets on those who have already done their bit.
thank you for your reponse
