And that’s why the protests on climate and energy are wasted in this country. They should be protesting to the large users of fossil fuels about their lack of progress. But they won’t do that, will they?They would rather protest in the UK, which has already committed to net zero by 2050. Pretty pointless, really.
The means

Like £170 billion thrown onto the national debt what would that buy you if it wasn’t being siphoned off into shareholder dividends?

£2.5 trillion of debt on the Conservatives watch. Which begs the question what are they conserving? Fat cat bonuses?
