Well, it's not all greenwashing - but there is a lot of misinformation or incomplete disclosure. The energy crisis has exposed that.
When were you told that "a lack of wind" could threaten electricity supplies and that the backup was a one-horse circus of Gas-powered production, using a fuel over which we had virtually no control?
When did you become aware that the UK had thrown away its ability to store gas and that this, with the reduced input from the North Sea, was a threat to domestic supplies AND to power generation AND to industry?
What other incomplete, short-termist and badly thought-through policies hang over us like the sword of Damocles? How much confidence can you now have in policies about radiation containment, carbon capture, the proposed new Nuclear reactors, etc., etc?
Then there's the incapacity of the UK to protect its own borders and the attempts to blame anyone and everyone else for the problem.
Then there's Brexit and the stoking of nationalist/isolationist sentiment..............
It's a perfect storm OK - a perfect storm of incompetence.
