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.

The figures have been shared many times.
"While renewable sources such as wind and solar are typically cheaper to produce, gas generation is more expensive due to the cost of producing gas."

Gas attracts global price rates and more capacity in the UK won't impact this. At the moment, the high price of gas is negatively impacting British industry, not renewables. We need to look at the facts, not what GB News's fossil fuel funders might prefer to tell us.
