Well at least he’s got one thing right!
From the Guardian:
Ed Miliband has abandoned plans to charge southern electricity users more than those in Scotland, after senior officials warned it could put off investors and make it more difficult to build renewables.
Sources have told the Guardian that the government has decided not to proceed with the scheme, known as “zonal pricing”, and that the decision will be announced once it has been signed off by the cabinet.
The plan was first proposed by the Conservatives as a way to encourage heavy electricity users to relocate to areas where there is more generation, such as Scotland, and windfarms sometimes have to switch off because of a lack of demand.
The idea that industries would simply load up their removal vans and head up north was always ludicrous.
