Sir Keir Starmer will be in No.10 by Easter.
His pledge to create a National Power Service which makes gas and electricity free to all, like our beloved National Health Service makes medicine free, will be a great relief for people.
Bless you, Sir Keir!0 -
The Labour proposal is for an agency to build up and manage the country's renewable capacity and infrastructure, not providing free energy. This seems a wilful misunderstanding of the proposal.1

People voted for Liz Truss for the Energy Price Cap like people have voted for Brexit and it has to be delivered to the people otherwise this country cannot be classed as a democratic country no more!0 -

Nuclear Energy has hardly no Co2 and you only need 5 grams of Plutonium or Uranium to power a whole city for a month I heard. Plutonium and Uranium are not expensive metals, I bet copper is more expensive then these both.
Renewable Energy such as Solar, Wind is not Scalable and is very expensive for this equipment and is Intermittent energy depending on weather seasons not constant energy like nuclear.
China has built their own Artificial Sun which is Nuclear Fusion not Nuclear Fission.
France energy bills are super cheap because they haven't closed down their Nuclear Power stations.1 -

Obviously this will lead to higher Inflation resulting in much more higher prices everywhere except for free energy which is free.
When it comes to survival people just need 2 things:
- Food
- Energy
These 2 run the whole economy otherwise we all be dead never mind a economy.
If your bag of chips rise to £10-20 a portion due to Inflation but your energy bills are free saving you £5000-6000 a year then sounds like a good deal right lol?0
