Renewable Subsidies Have Cost £78 Billion In Last 10 Years
And we are looking only at the direct subsidy picture here. What’s not included in this picture is the massive cash value of free balancing services using the fat in the system that was formerly built to prevent catastrophic breakdowns of the system. We also know them as blackouts. Ideally, renewable development would have to go hand in hand with a grid expansion and extension. But that’s expensive and the only way to justify those costs is to allocate them to the culprits. Wind and solar but then people would have seen something that’s closer to the real cost and that can never be.
