SIR JOHN Redwood has called on the Government to boost natural gas production to combat the energy crisis as slow winds hamper green output.
Households in the UK are currently gripped by the worst effects of a global energy crisis brought about by skyrocketing price of wholesale gas. Within days, energy regulator Ofgem is set to raise the price cap on household bills, with many analysts putting the figure at somewhere around £3,500 a year from October. Given that the UK’s reliance on natural gas has been blamed for the soaring bills, many energy experts have called on the UK to boost wind energy generation capabilities, particularly given UK’s massive wind potential in the North Sea.
However, critics like Sir John Redwood, the MP for Wokingham slammed wind energy for not producing enough power, and called for more domestically produced natural gas.
He tweeted yesterday: “Today wind is delivering just 10 percent of our electricity despite news of a new windfarm starting up with some power.
“Still using stand by coal with 57 percent of electricity from gas.”
