Quite amazed that Farage hasn’t espoused renewables for this reason.

Reform ignoring the glaringly obvious energy security benefits of renewables is a good example of why their patriotism is of the plastic kind.

While it’s a ridiculous question, asking a reform candidate why they prefer to buy Islamic Oil & Russian gas rather than British wind will cause some spectacular cognitive dissonance. 😄

Govt backs the projects that inflame division but not those that promote real energy independence because the energy sector is afraid of that... and they pay the politicians bills of course.
