LAST week’s Energy Bill appears to be consigning
Britain to another Dark Age (John Redwood, Yorkshire Post, June 10).
Does anybody remember voting for the doubling of our energy bills and a
rationing of their energy usage?
This appears to be our fate in order that our politicians can continue to pander to European Union directives forcing us to shut down productive coal-fired plants while Germany writes the rules to allow it to commission major new coal-fired power capacity.
No wonder Nigel Farage is having a field day at the polls, being the only party leader not to be dazzled in the phoney green headlights of the carbon-free energy myth that is causing the country to swerve into energy impoverished suicide.
Only Ukip seems to be prepared to spell out the reality that our draconian carbon reduction targets are clearly ill thought out and in fact, by all reasonable calculations, incompatible with affordable and available power for this country.
CO2 reduction may well be a worthy aspiration but not at the expense of our national productive capacity, especially since we are only responsible for around 1.6 per cent of global CO2 emissions.
