  • 23 percent Zoomup? Just what does that achieve, because from my perspective it just makes Electricity more expensive with negative outcomes on the reliability of supply? It could be an attempt to ration by price, but that would be the most stupid idea imaginable in our society which needs its computers, internet, and technology. If these are not affordable you see the outcome on the BBC daily, screams that "poorer children are being disadvantaged because their parents cannot afford any IT equipment". They probably cannot afford the electricity or heating either! They appear to be able to afford mobile phones etc. that cost a lot more than a laptop. You will be interested that Germany has the most expensive electricity in the world, and is pulling back from wind and solar because they are wrecking the supply system and cost far too much, but then that kind of bad news is never on the BBC. We were promised that renewables would be cheaper than fossil fuels from the beginning of this saga. They are not and never have been, they exist because the playing field is not level, by prices, contracts, and subsidies (hidden or upfront).  One day someone in politics may tell the truth, but not at the moment or any time in the last 30 years! Why tax foodstuffs, that too is green signalling of the worst kind, it is not even true! Without animals farming in much of the UK would cease, particularly Wales, Scotland and the West Country. Here the land and topology are not very suitable for growing crops, but fine for animals as the rainfall and ground can easily grow good grass. This is a serious case of "townies" who know nothing telling everyone else what to do. Perhaps they want to eat Hay, the trouble is that Humans can make very little use of it, and it would cause excessive wind, perhaps to drive home windmills!
