Well, the First Minister will know that the percentage of electricity generated by wind power or solar energy is minute: typically between 3 per cent and 5 per cent. So, the idea that energy security can be obtained by more and more windmills is nonsense and would result in the utter desecration of our countryside as well. But I’m interested in the impact of green taxes upon poor people. His party came into existence in order to fight for the interests of working people, but it’s his party, more than all because of the climate change Act, which his Government introduced in 2008—. In the Government’s own assessment of its costs, it would be £18 billion a year, £720 billion over 40 years. This is a crown of thorns that’s being put down on the heads of ordinary people.
