Whilst I have no problem with using energy resources efficiently and effectively I also recognise that wherever there is ‘green’ politics there is also significant waste. Apparently according to Guido Fawkes £4.3 million has been wasted on ‘climate change’ propaganda. Most of this money has been spent on adverts destined for inclusion in publications from the more ‘progressive’ end of the political spectrum such as the Guardian and Channel 4.
Guido Fawkes said:
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero splurged over £4 million of taxpayers’ cash to promote its green agenda according to an FOI request seen by Guido. In the financial year 2023-2024, a whopping £4,356,837 was spent on online adverts for just two eco-campaigns—It All Adds Up and Welcome Home to Energy Efficiency ‘educating’ the public about heat pumps and ‘energy-saving measures’. Naturally most outlets used to promote the climate crusade were on the more ‘progressive’ side of the spectrum…
It’s exasperating when the nation is under so much fiscal pressure to see so much money wasted on so much guff which is likely to have so little benefit to Britons.
