Every job in wind and solar power is currently costing the taxpayer over £250,000 in subsidies every year. This isn't the promised "green prosperity"; it's the path to penury.
The UK will squander a staggering £16 billion this decade as regulatory and planning failures result in Scotland's wind power surplus outstripping transmission capacity to the South.
Electric car sales have hit a bump in the road after demand from private motorists fell sharply by 14.3% last month, leading to calls for subsidies for electric vehicles.
A recent study indicates that wind farm magnates are essentially rigging the system to pocket more taxpayer cash for doing, well, nothing.
The latest claim from Net Zero activists is that wind and solar power is now cheaper than coal in the U.S. But that's a fiction created by the $369bn of new Government subsidies, writes David Craig.
According to GB News, wind farms have been gaming the system, taking advantage of 'green' subsidies to earn hundreds of millions from the energy crisis.
