The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

Data from BNEF on Sizewell C shows electricity costs could hit £286/MWh, making it much more expensive than other technologies. While it helps decarbonise, this price tag raises major questions about cost-effectiveness.
Is nuclear too expensive to be a key part of the UK's energy solution?

Almost half of the UK's household trash is burned to produce electricity. It's at least as polluting as coal - and it's a trend that's set to grow. Superb work from the BBC here. Even includes a methodology!

Nearly half of waste is now burned for energy, but BBC analysis finds it is as dirty as coal.

"Why are electricity prices so high if renewables break generation records and are so cheap?" I have been asked.
The main reason: Gas still sets the price 63% of the time in wholesale electricity markets in EU27 & >90% in some countries.
