I don't dispute that, it's the subsides need to be taken away to show the true cost of generation. It's the subsidies that increase the costs.
Hi Pete,
I was only pointing out that it's oil & gas that has rocketed in price. As far as I'm aware wind and sunshine are still free!
I'm involved in a small scale hydro project and we're locked into a contract which sets the price of the electricity we generate far below the current (no pun intended) market price.
Cheers.
Phil.
