Actual headline: “Corrupt conservatives cement fossil fuel dependency for their donors under a pretense”
They pretend that those gas power stations are needed, then sabotage renewable upbuild and grid improvements while blocking storage to create that scenario in the first place.
Also they will justify the price increases (flowing right into the pcoket of fossil fuel producers) somehow as costs caused by renewables…
There’s an argument that gas peaker plants are useful, if only to shut the “what if it’s cloudy and there’s no wind” dickheads up, but renewables should come first.
That might be an argument if you are sane and actually building up renewables and storage.
But for a government that spends its time sabotaging renewables and blocking storage (in fact the whole definition of energy security and why gas peakers are the only option was written directly by an energy company for their corrupt puppet of a minister) it is just a pretense.
