Minority vocal groups have created a situation where we are reducing our use of coal, increasing our energy costs, decreasing our competitiveness and then we sell the coal to our trading competitors who then use it to produce cheap energy and make more competitive goods to our detriment.
The public don't seem to understand the coal is still being burnt and the ones being disadvantaged are us - how smart is that?" --------------------------------------
That's exactly right.
Also, there is a real social disconnect in the way people well off enough to purchase solar roof schemes are now being subsidised by people without such financial capacity. Completely unfair and immoral imo.
There is an exponential increase in people on low incomes having their electricity disconnected because they simply can't afford to pay for it. Meanwhile, the affluent with their rooftops covered in solar panels sit back smugly.
