Reform's war on green energy is all hot air
F reshly empowered in local administrations across the land, Richard Tice has been outlining the priorities of the People's Republic of Reformia. 'If you are thinking of investing in solar farms, battery storage systems, or trying to build pylons,' he wrote on X, on Saturday, 'think again. We will fight you every step of the way. We will win.' He meant it, too. 'This is war,' he announced the following day. 'We will wage war against you people and your terrible ideas.' In his arsenal are 'planning blockages', 'judicial reviews', 'lawsuits', 'health and safety notices' and 'every available legal measure' to prevent things like 'ugly pylons' appearing on Reform land. 'It's going to cost you a fortune,' he warned developers, and they wouldn't get anywhere, either.
