Muhendis Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 From the looks of things it seems a bad idea for all forms of government to get involved in energy production. https://news.sky.com/story/stricken-council-backed-solar-farms-giant-to-shine-light-on-auction-12772777 So if anyone has a few million £ you might like to buy a ready made going concern with thousands of solar panels etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that rather than plod along making money from selling electricity, one would be better off selling the company that makes the power. I was under the impression that it is illegal for UK government bodies to "invest" public money because of the risk factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in one of the colonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
