Yet another goady tone thread, not worth further commenting on.

I am cross that Rishi has decided to backtrack on some of the climate goals.
Your OP is, however, incorrect, and the derision in its tone makes it hardly worthy of comment.
Other than to say that here in "nice" Devon on the edge of Dartmoor, we have a project going ahead for a solar park up to 42MW. The local state school is actually a partner in the venture in an attempt to take action on climate change and to reduce its energy bills. Oh, and this is a Tory voting constituency too.

Many church roofs in staunchly Conservative areas of Norfolk are being fitted with solar panels. And of course we have offshore wind farms here which you can admire from the lovely north Norfolk beaches,

Despite Mr Sunak's failure to protect against climate change, notably his failure to protect solar power in this country, let's remember that some Conservatives are jolly nice people who require only that their own decent neighbourhoods are protected against unsightly developments.

We would need 29,690 km2 to home the panels.
In progress at the moment, just down the road from where I live, a huge solar farm plus battery storage unit, for when supply is is needed the most. When completed will have the capacity to produce 49.9MW, powering 27, 000 homes. This on top of the massive wind farm at Hornsea, biomass and landfill gas producing more electricity than anywhere else in the country. All my electricity is from green energy, is yours.
Did you know this country is also installing more solar panels than EU countries.2022. My brothers have a roof full of them, charging EV and free domestic use to. We may have a good way to go, but we'll get there. Oh and this is a majority Tory voting are.
Oh and sarcasm is the lowest form of wit,
Bye.
