Energy prices to rise?

Your FIT has to be paid somehow.

Does it actually need stating that if the pound falls in value significantly, the price of most imports will go up?

But it probably does. To BEXITEERS. Who don't seem to understand imports and exports.

Yes, it's all those wind farm subsidies.

Not that I am a Brexiter, but I did wonder whether the falling pound encouraged the Nissan investment decision, since this should counteract any likely tariff.

F*ck all of British energy supplied by them uses imported fuel.

Looks that way. Will go down well on any future trade negotiations with the EU - unfair subsides?

Judging by several radio and tv documentaries recently, the government needs to actually allow renewable the same terms as Nuclear has been given or nobody is going to invest in tidal schemes or any new ventures or even storage development. One cannot surely have one law for one and another for the rest. It will end in undercapacity and we will miss our carbon reduction targets by miles and have to buy in expensive power from what will be, by then outside of our borders ie the eu.

There seems to be a lot of fuzzy thinking going on in the energy department. yes it is going to cost more as this subsidy will in the end, end but really, in order to keep energy security, we now have to build more tidal and other renewable systems, as often they can bebrought on line faster than Nuclear or most other carbon generating gas systems.

WEll that is a desirable outcome. Investment in tidal/renewable/batty pixie dust storage is a waste of our money.

Renwable already gets MOTE than nuclear does.

All the government has to do is get the hell out of the industry, or at least stop wasting money on subsisdising lost causes.

You can say that again.

No, we should not build a single renewable energy system ever again, with public money.

Build our own nukes then we can sell to them

Has been for the last 40 years or more.

Build nukes

Don't judge every nuke scheme by Hinkley.

But Brian, Nuclear helps hit our carbon reduction targets. And it works on a cold dark windless night...

It also works at high and low tides
