No progress

Electricity bill update as ministers slammed for making 'no progress'

Ministers need to do more to ensure people see the benefits of climate action in their bills, the Government's independent advisers on climate change have warned. The Climate Change Committee (CCC), which has released its first assessment of the new Government's progress on reducing emissions, said making electricity cheaper will help people feel the benefits of the green transition...

It added that its first recommended action last year to make electricity cheaper "has not yet seen any progress".

It isn't easy to comment on this kind of story. We have to begin with the problem that 'no progress' is a ludicrously optimistic assessment of several decades of lost opportunities, colossally wasteful spending and ridiculously naïve propaganda.

To our lasting shame, analysing this kind of garbage is not dissimilar to analysing a political speech by the leadership of any totalitarian country.
