Article about Let them Eat Carbon in City A.M.2

Emma Boon Let Them Eat Carbon

This morning there is an article by Matthew Sinclair in City A.M. about Let them eat carbon. He discusses who will really be paying for investment in the energy sector to make it greener and concludes that it will be already heavily burdened households.

He also highlights that:

Benefits for poor and elderly households are the biggest item in the government’s budget. Higher energy bills will make it much harder for them to stomach the long term fiscal adjustment that the country needs.

By and large the public do not realise what is going on in the lucrative world of climate policy. How informed taxpayers are will decide whether or not the current, failing agenda is reversed.

Exactly, while energy costs are soaring we have to pay hugh FIT payments for people who can afford to install useless solar panels. There is also a debate in our local paper about windmills, it looks like we are going to get some and I can already see the blades of one from our house. Some think it is the way forward as there always used to be windmills but they’ve gone as they were superseded by a little electric motor. It’s okay just having a windmill pumping drains while the win blows but it’s no use for serious energy.
