Govt Quietly Drops Promises Of Cheap Renewable Energy
APRIL 18, 2023
By Paul Homewood

It looks like the government is opening the door for higher prices for renewables:
 
Government seeking views on introducing Contracts for Difference reforms rewarding applicants for including factors not only based on price in projects.

Potential reforms to Contracts for Difference could mean applicants would be rewarded for including wider benefits their projects could bring when submitting price bids to government for their low-carbon electricity

these ‘non-price factors’ could include supply chain sustainability, addressing skills gaps and innovation, help drive investment in the sector and boost country’s energy security
today’s step builds plans to create a more secure energy future and grow our economy, by supporting thriving green industries and high quality jobs

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Meet the new boss, just like the old boss.

I remember when nuclear power was 'going to be so cheap it's practically be free'.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yup.
So cheap, you wouldn't even need a meter to measure it...
