One thing missed from that article is the scrapping of most energy efficiency schemes in 2012. Since then it’s estimated that 2 million efficiency upgrades per year have been missed. That means that the country needs more energy (typically as gas) than it otherwise would have done and the increase in bills is hitting hardest for those, usually on lower incomes, that live in unrenovated accommodation.

Until people get angry when they’re gone.

Mate at work today who’s wife is a nurse said they are leaving in droves. Easier to work in Aldi. Same money, far less stress, less hours, generally less hassle.

Another mate has decided to go back on the ambulances. He had swapped to a mobile clinician of sorts. While there wasn’t any shift working the stress was nuts. Easier to go back to sitting outside a hospital for hours at a stretch where the only responsibility is keeping people alive. Far different to making clinical decisions. No license at risk.

Think @Klopptimist was responding to the part where you asked “what that makes actual socialists”…

I call bullshit on this. impossible task to switch an entire country of 60mil over to clean power in 8 years. the tech doesn’t even exist for that volume of power required yet.

According to what I’ve read recently, this year renewables have provided about 40% of electricity generation by the major power companies, same as gas, with nuclear at 16.8% and coal at 2.5%.

You can get a lot done in 8 years if there’s is the will to do it.

hypothetically speaking, sure you can.

your country is effectively broken. Government morals are at an all-time low as is your healthcare system. now you’re going to provide them a blank cheque to acheive 100% clean power in 8 years?

where’s all this money coming from?

PS…Nuclear isn’t clean…

Psst. I think I’m right in saying you need fission reactors to create some of the fuel needed for fusion.

Don’t tell anyone.

It’s already at 40% and that’s with a government that has thrown every spanner available in the works. It’s perfectly achievable if you want to go for it.
