It's wonderful how you capture the "tad bit insane" it reminded me of the riff by Neil Oliver on the last Jimmy Dore show about UK blanketing farmland with solar panels then launching a project to dim the sun.. madness by every measure & we pay these clowns as leaders, crazy!!

Good point that - well the second at least (never thought of that); but I do like watching both Jimmy Dore and Neil Oliver... but not 100% sure of either.

Regards the solar panels though ... I think we have ben set up again, like the introduction of the diesel cars and which I stood up to as a Chemical Engineer; due to their high, toxic, particular emissions (yes causing health problems).

Anyway.. I did not see it back then (not awakened ?), but when solar panels were relatively new ... blanketed the house and office with them ... no BTW (VAT) inthe EU, cannot remember in the UK and to be fair, you forget about them and they "allegedly" lower the bills. Apparently my investment in them in has now paid off (8 years) and then SUDDENLY, we get this:

"Return delivery costs, how does that work? <===== Title

You pay a rate per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity that you return. This is the electricity that you generate with solar panels and do not use yourself. The return goes through your electricity meter to the electricity grid. Because you pay per kWh of returned electricity, we find this method the most transparent. <=== OK

These costs were passed on in the electricity price for all customers. So customers without solar panels also paid for this. We are now opting for a new approach to distribute these costs differently. We charge costs per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity that you supply back. That is generated electricity that you do not use yourself. Do you use the solar energy immediately when you generate it? Then you do not pay any return delivery costs for that. <==== ?

With solar panels you generate electricity that you can use directly in your home. If you do not use the generated electricity at that moment, you supply this electricity back to the electricity grid. With the netting arrangement you get the same rate (including tax) for the electricity that you supply back as you pay for the electricity that you consume at that moment. <<==== OK, so I am providing you with electricity, with the solar panels I paid for and you pay me back SMEWHAT a fair price (it is less than the normal price they charge by the way)

NOW THE CRUX.

From 1st Jan 2017 ..the amount I am paid for my generated electricity is greatly reduced OR eliminated...

See how they push their agenda... if you have time, have a glance at their recommendations.

PS Just realised Dutch site, hope you have Google translate or whatever on your machine... basically just more propaganda for Heat Pumps, EV charging points, USE - washing machine, shower, dishwasher, solar boiler ?, blah blah blah....

PPS Both Diesel and Solar Panels are to promote the "Climate Change bllx"

PPS Sorry for long waffle.

If the public want to purchase solar, EVs etc, let them, but not under the auspice that we have a climate emergency and it's preventing climate change. That's a lie.

I don't know about the details, but assume 'renewables' are state sponsored and are not renewable. What is renewable?

It gets my goat.

Sanctimonious Dobby always annoyed me, even back in the day when I used to listen to the British Bullshit Corporation.

Tony, Bob,

Every time we have a little welcome sunshine, it is invariably the hottest day ever on record. Climate emergency!

Temperatures to reach 29C in warmest start to May on record

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0m9yez3780o

‘But as our climate continues to warm, this type of spring heat is expected occur more often. Recent analysis found that spring is the fastest-warming season in the UK.’

Utter nonsense, but par for the course these days.

On top of that, BBC R4 this morning 9am broadcast:

Dr Anthony Fauci discusses his career spanning the worlds of medicine and politics.

They have no awareness nor shame.

Oh and mine. For us, it was just an investment, one that has worked so far.

PS Notice how the term "Global Warming" was changed to "Climate Change"

.... oh just the same as they changed the definition of "Vaccines" and and ?.

The climate https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/agenda-2030-delivering-the-global-goals policy drives me nuts. It staggers me how many just follow the narrative.

When covid1984 started, my first thought was 'climate change' digital ID.
