From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

The march of electricity pylons across Britain’s countryside is set to accelerate under Labour plans to make it easier to build new transmission lines across hills and open countryside.

Ed Miliband, shadow energy secretary, and Rachel Reeves, the shadow chancellor, will set out plans at this week’s party conference to “rewire Britain” and build a cleaner energy grid, potentially unlocking £200bn of private investment.

It follows warnings from multiple sources, including Nick Winser, the government’s own Electricity Commissioner, that the lack of grid capacity and connections are blocking deployment of renewables and the switch from gas to electric home heating.

However, Labour’s plan is likely to prove highly controversial because it will mean building thousands of new electricity pylons and cables across rural or wild landscapes.

Quite apart from the environmental vandalism, just let that £200bn of private investment sink in.

Whenever Labour talks of “investment”, keep a tight hold of your wallets! Private investors are not going to hand that money over out of the kindness of their hearts. They will demand a hefty pay back.

Consequently energy users will not just have to pay the £200bn back, which by the way amounts to about £8000 for every home in the UK, but a handsome profit on top.

Yet another cost of Ed Miliband’s wretched Net Zero obsession.

How on earth did this idiot ever get his hands on Britain’s energy policy?
