Libs Promise to Cut £600 Energy Bills by £800!

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

We are used to seeing broken promises from politicians. But this new campaign promise from the Lib Dems is simply fraudulent:


Families and pensioners are being clobbered with energy bills that are still more than £50 a month higher than they were five years ago. And businesses are suffering too.

Generating electricity from solar or wind is now much cheaper than gas. But people aren’t seeing the benefit of cheap renewable power, because electricity prices are still tied to the price of gas.

Years of terrible energy policies under the Conservatives pushed up everyone’s bills, and this Labour Government has failed to prioritise cutting them.

The Lib Dem plan would break the link between gas prices and energy costs, so people can enjoy the benefits of cheap, clean power. This would halve bills and save families £870 a year on average.

Need a diversified energy supply porfolio - aka all of the above - to make energy affordable, accessible, and reliable.

Too much dependence on any one source is a security and economic liability.

So, when there's a coal miner's strike, the lost generation can be made up by nuclear, gas, oil, hyrdo, solar, wind, biomass, etc.

Each type of energy also needs to be multi-sourced to reduce economic and security liabilities to any single supplier.

Energy supply chain risk needs to be managed, via diversification and redundancies, to limit vulnerability to economic and national security risks and disruptions.
