The energy crisis is biting hard. UK households still face a huge hike in their bills, despite the government’s plans to freeze them at £2,500, and small businesses remain at risk of bankruptcy. So securing reliable sources of energy should be at the top of the political agenda, especially after Russia cut off gas supplies to Europe earlier this month.
Our political elites maintain that there is a green solution to the energy crisis. They tout wind and solar power as the way forward. Indeed, the UK government awarded a record number of contracts for renewable-energy infrastructure in July this year.
