SIR – The full extent of the folly of Ed Miliband’s net zero zealotry was laid bare this week.
Despite enormous capital expenditure, wind farms generated low amounts of energy because the wind didn’t blow, and solar infrastructure turned out to be less efficient in hot weather.
That left us importing power at more than six times the normal price (“Heatwave Britain forced to rely on EU to avoid power cuts”, report, June 25). So much for energy security.
