From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Talk about fiddling while Rome burns!
The Energy Secretary will today (Sunday 15 March) outline a package of measures to go “further and faster” in the pursuit of national energy security as a response to events in the Middle East.
The Energy Secretary is today setting out an accelerated package of energy interventions to boost the UK’s energy security:
- announcing that ‘plug-in solar’, low cost solar panels that families can buy at supermarkets and put on their balconies or outdoor space, will be made available in the UK for the first time
- announcing that we intend to bring forward the government’s next annual renewables auction to July, inviting renewables companies to invest in UK energy. The most recent round was the biggest ever and alongside the previous auction, we have confirmed enough clean power to power the equivalent of 23 million homes
- following the implementation of the Fingleton Review into speeding up the building of nuclear power stations, confirmation that the government will apply the lessons of the review to other infrastructure such as renewables

Underwhelming hardly begins to describe it!
According to Grok, these plug in solar panels start at £600. Does the moron really think people have got that sort of money in their pockets to waste on his green nonsense? Potential annual savings for users are in the tens of pounds.
As for the next CfD round, the next lot of offshore wind farms won’t be up and running until at least 2030, by which time gas prices will be back to normal.
None of this will be of any help to energy users now.
In the meantime, he avoids taking the action which would – namely cancelling the Emissions Trading Scheme, AKA Carbon Tax.
