And the Telegraph officially comes under German control today by an EU-supporting owner; what's not to like?

This net-zero lark has decimated business by making energy more expensive than anywhere else in the world. And that's on top of the tax take.

You mention "cost-effective"? Are you sure that wind power is cheaper than gas, especially gas we don't have to transport from the Red Sea? By all means add nuclear energy, wind farms (but not at extortionate land rent prices), solar power etc. But not at a pace that destroys our economy.
