Get ready for MUCH HIGHER utility bills

[dan_s]

There was a new round of unpleasant news for consumers in the United Kingdom this month and for once it didn’t have anything to do with COVID. Residents receiving their energy bills were shocked to see a steep increase in the price of electricity. We’re not talking a small percentage, either. Costs were double what they had been in previous months and more than four times higher than during the same period in 2020. But how could that be? The country has been investing heavily in renewable energy to meet its obligations under the climate deal and many new wind-power stations had come online, allowing them to idle many fossil fuel plants. Then the disappointing news arrived. Energy was at a premium because their renewable sources were slumping significantly. So what went wrong? It’s fairly simple. The winds on the North Sea (where most of the wind mills are) had simply stopped blowing.

If we don't elect smarter people, we are all going to face significantly higher utility bills in the near future and regular power outages. All of the taxes and huge cost of The Green New Deal will be passed on to consumers. BTW this hurts the poor and folks that work for a living the most.
