Outlawing the ability to store energy is probably my favourite.

If people stopped hoarding energy and keeping it all to themselves there would be more to go around. Common sense isn't it 😀

How will that solar farm tax go down with the landowners they have been alongside recently protesting against the inheritance tax?

mrdaz.bsky.social•17 days ago

Don’t see on that list abolishing VAT on fuel bills, one of the advantages of Brexit that they shouted about so loudly a few years ago.

chris-slinn.bsky.social•17 days ago

So you subsidise something and then tax it. What fuckwittery is this? Also - don't store energy. It must be used immediately. Its a multi fuckwittery bonanza

They really messed up with "Windfall tax on renewable generated power" rather than Windmill generated power.

Every EV is a battery storage system! So we're banning EV cars now?

mozzaretti.bsky.social•17 days ago

Hmmm Underground cables are just the 5 times more expensive than overhead, so a great saving to your energy bills there.

How do people still fall for this shit. (rhetorical)

planetmatt.bsky.social•17 days ago

Because the only real promise their voters care about them delivering are ensuring that the lives of foreigners, brown people, or the marginalised are worse than their own.

mozzaretti.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah, rhetorical

Vote Stone Age at the next election as that’s where we are going to take you! Yabba dabba dooo!

alisonmgordon.bsky.social•17 days ago

Why on earth would you want to ban battery storage?

planetmatt.bsky.social•17 days ago

In the tiny feeble Reform brain, anything electric or green is woke, and woke is the most terrible peril to ever reach the British shores.

dinnapanic.bsky.social•17 days ago

Did woke come over on a small boat too?

alisonmgordon.bsky.social•17 days ago

😂😱

This is actually good as it’s so Fucking mad it might even put the ‘just-racist’s off voting for them

owliebroon.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ban battery power so people can’t live on boats or off-grid. Surely this is a violation of human rights? Reform are not for the people, they are only for the ultra-wealthy.

My fave - burying cables. The length of buried cables is greatly limited at AC transmission voltages due to a phenomemon called charging current. Tens of km rather than 100km+. In addition to the expense, physics prevents it. Clearly they don't have a clue and haven't spoken to anybody who does.

Ssssh! No one tell him Elon's energy business uses Battery Storage

Thick as mince, the lot of them.

I mean, Anderson looks like lightening struck the second prize of a meat raffle which became barely sentient so that might explain their inability at higher cognitive processing.

“Got any Duracells?”

dewey56.bsky.social•17 days ago

And how does forcing National Grid to bury cables at a much higher cost help to lower bills?

dewey56.bsky.social•17 days ago

The first point should surely be a "windmill tax'.

frasersaying.bsky.social•17 days ago

Pretty sure putting all cables below ground is going to push prices up substantially.

stoohardman.bsky.social•17 days ago

Cheaper fuel bills by burying all the cables.
Sure.

Round ‘ere, the anti-pylon group are also the hardcore NIMBYs that oppose new housing developments

“I’m not a NIMBY - it’s just where is the infrastructure?”

We’ll build the infrastructure

“Nooooo!”

mrhenrymorris.bsky.social•17 days ago

I mean, I'm not opposed to burying them like they do in Europe. But I'm not going to pretend that doing that is going to be cheaper!

kentguy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Europe actually appears to plan strategically regarding energy - French nuclear capacity, Germany divesting from RU gas, tonnes of renewables in Scandinavia

We’re just laughably shit at all this stuff

mrtonyj.bsky.social•17 days ago

How will forcing the National Grid to put cables below ground make the energy cheaper? **cking idiots!

rkemb.bsky.social•17 days ago

Additional taxes on renewable generation will definitely bring down electricity prices, yes sir.

planetmatt.bsky.social•17 days ago

It's Reform's version of those authoritarian American home owner associations who ban collecting rain water. Equally mental.
